Hi,
I am germinating seeds in Root Riot pellets. I get very good germination results. I wanted to ask the experts about transplanting these pellets to permanent pots. I see what appears to be a pause in growth over the first couple of weeks.
I plant the pellets in the permanent pot as soon as they pop. I put a colored cup over them as a dome to reduce the light as they are in a tent with plants at different ages. These seedlings appear to grow fast up to about 3" then seem to pause for a week+. I am just wondering if this is common or normal. Once they get past this stage they grow as expected.
I was wondering if their roots are growing in the pellet then having to get used to the hotter soil exiting the pellet? I use Roots Organics Original and do not amend for up to 21 days, just water.
Thanks for your help.
Update: I think I will use some LSD seeds hermies seeds to test and examine root structure coming out of the pellets. (I like these pellets as I have only lost 2 seeds using them. )
