I have just finshed a Blue mystic CFL grow, in fairly small 8 litre pots, Biobizz light mix soil, which has Perlite, but I added more, and after Harvest I found the roots weren't running all round the pot like I had hoped, and have been used to. I re-potted them shortly before flip. They were flipped at about 9-10" and ended up about 16-18" (but are described as a "short" plant)
Could this have been due to over watering? Causing the roots to have nothing to "reach" for?
Or do you think that it could be a soil issue? I only use BioGrow and Bloom. My most recent plants have 2" of clay pebbles at the bottom of the 8 litre pots, and slightly more Perlite. I'm hoping that as there is less soil to hold water, this will help, as well as improve airflow.
I have also bought some Top Max for flowering, and been given a tester of "Power Zyme" which I have just started using, in hope that it aids the soil substrate.
Any thoughts, cos by the looks I just got some lovely smoke, but figure better roots = better nute intake and bigger budds.
Thanks in advance
Pics are of 4 plant set up, and one plant prior to harvest to give an idea of size
