I have a Witch Doctor on day 29 been on the reservoir since day 18.

I removed the tray cover today and can see roots in the tray. I didn't pick the pot up but, at least one root has escaped the pot.

Should I be concerned about them getting into valve?

If so any suggestions?

I have a root disk in the pot gold face down.

Hi TG ^_^

The roots would either need to cause the valve to be stuck up (which would stop the water coming in) or stuck down, (which would flood your grow area ) to cuase a problem.

I've never had roots come out before - but that's what i'd be watching out for.

I don't know if it's a good idea to prune those roots or not - I'll leave that notion for someone more experimental that me :rofl:

i put my gold thing face up in the res tray and I have never had roots escape out but if you have if they go crazy and are going to interfere with the valves id prune them but if its just a couple I wouldn't worry
