Broke a root.
    #7763711 - 12/15/07 09:56 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

I recently planted some mj seeds in some peat pots and one of them has sprouted but I accidentally broke the root coming out of the bottom of the peat pot. Will the plant be ok?

did it break from the meristem? doesnt sound that way since its coming from a peat pot which means great news for you. no worries.

it will be fine. no worries. if its from the bottom of the peat cube dont worry it happens to most unconcerned gardners. us concerned gardeners worry about such things but the fact of the matter is it will give it a stronger root system. it forces the root to branch out earlier then it would. im not advising you to break the tips of your main roots but if you are fimilar with sea of green growing you will notice the clones that actuall had there tip broken arent as likely to tip from cola weight. reason is when you have that much weight leaning on a perfectly vertical root it doesnt provide as much support. however when that root was forced to branch into one or more major roots it provides better weight support because of the different angles.

yeah dont worry about it, it might lead to a small amount of shock now, but like durban said its likely to give a more extensive root system eventually...
