seedling question

[Luke Skywalker]

Tap roots can be stunted and small on hydroponic plants as their development is not necessary for good growth... Soil grown, (not in pots, although this does make for a larger tap if direct sown) plants in good soil will have a noticeable one, sometimes a bloody huge one as the plant searches for nutrients and produces a micro climate in the soil.

 

Sorry WC, but I have seen many taproots on cannabis, it doesn't mean that all plants have substantial ones, in fact I think the indica race may well be stunted in that regard because of their relatively small height... but I know they have taproots man. They can still grow with a stunted one and a more fibrous root system providing most of the stabilistation, but I've torn apart many a root system and seen them there, at the heart of the matter so to speak, sometimes like a carrot, sometimes like a twisted piece of ginseng which has been dried out... but they're there...
