Deep roots
New Member
I had been growing 2 plants outdoor. not set up 4 it and in hindsight not a smart idea. 2 many people.
anyhow i kept them down as best i could,, june july aug all super duper then one showed it balls.... ok its gone.. the other kept going 2' x 4' wide with many weights holding it down and out. over the month i had put lots of compost and stuff around plant. I'm sure a pest festival was occurring but la de da.
finally i realize it hasnt started to flower and there cannot be time before frost. so i scrape off as much on top till i see roots. then i dig as good as i could. never got root ball very dry soil from drought. had 30 gal tote ready and it looked sad. most leaf died or would so i cut. 4 tops had to be cut. i watered and put under 400-600 hps 4' from top at first. here is photo after cut in dormant stressed near death condition. sorry i will try and figure out photo thing. Has anyone done this and any help ....
