Chemical root pruning

  1. Has anyone here ever used copper hydroxide on the inside of there pots to keep plant in The same container longer with out it having root issues ?from what I’ve read it seems a lot more ideal then transplanting for space reasons. If you have good watering methods . Also makes for a better root mass and can grow larger in small containers . Anyone have any info or tried this ?
     
  2. I have used Micro-coat many times and it does work well. Much denser roots and of course no root binding.

    I like to use is on my solo cups to get a dense start of my root mass before the first transplant.
     
  3. I prefer not

    Roots are too important to mess with

    as bigger roots means bigger plant

    = bigger buds

    good luck
