Marijuana agriculture is not as easy as one to three. There are a lot of things to consider. The humidity, temperature, sun exposure, type of soil, and proper management are all necessary for a marijuana plant to grow healthy.
Every part of the marijuana plant is important starting from its buds to the roots. Some may think that buds are the most significant part but it is not, technically it’s the roots. No plant can survive without its main channel of nutrients not getting what is necessary.
Like an infrastructure, the base and the columns of the building should be strong enough to withstand different types of outside pressure. The roots of a marijuana plant work the same, they are the first line of support and the main passageway for nutrient distribution.
Most marijuana growers practice different techniques on how to maintain a rigid and fully functional marijuana roots.
-
More root space: because roots are the main channels for nutrients to get distributed, it should have a proper room to grow. Space should be big enough so the roots of the plant can spread even more and take more nutrients in return.
-
Beware of root insect eater: without proper attention, bugs and other pests can attack the root system. Some pests feed or like to consume the root part of a plant. If this happens, there will be a nutrient deficiency to all parts of the plant and this will cause growth irregularity or the plant may die.
-
Proper Watering: over watering and under watering the plant can also damage the root system. Under watering provides fewer nutrients to plants while over watering can suffocate the root system.
Now, there are instances when a grower forgets and the roots of the plant are infected or in the process of rotting. To salvage the unaffected parts and stop its progression, you can do the following:
-
Use a hydrogen peroxide solution and run it at your irrigation system. Now, this might be a shocking revelation because most people know hydrogen peroxide as an antiseptic and best for wound cleaning not for root rotting treatment.
-
One cause of root rotting is the water in the irrigation system. If it is full of bacteria and another harmful organism then you may need to check out solutions for it.
Generally, marijuana plants are very sensitive to the changes in its environment. A sudden push of outside and unknown pressure can disrupt its balance and growth. Which is why growers carefully measure everything and every management should be on scheduled chronologically.
