Well I hate to report bad news but the chem city blues got stunted. Absolutely no fault of the light. I used a Root Riot plug and forgot to poke extra holes in it. This is the 1st time I've had problems with a plug and it's also the first time I forgot to stab the hell out of it. I plucked the poor little feller and will start another one in the morning. Same strain.

It looks like Sour Stomper is going to get the win so I'll be starting it in the morning as well.

Here's the pics of the unfortunate one.

That tap root should be all the way to the bottom of the pot by now.

Could you expand on the poking of the holes a little? I used Root Riot plugs one of my last grows and had unfavorably mixed results with them. Wondering if this would help them work better if I try them again. Do you just take something like a toothpick and poke 'em all over? Vertically, horizontally, doesn't matter?

Damn man, it seems those cubes are the mother fucker of all. I have seen more of those cause that issue than not. I think it was @stepside or @briman that had issues with them before and it got a few of the jems. Hope the next ones go a little better for you man.

@FullDuplex, that was me bud! If I'm going to use them(I have about 20 left) Plant them about 2/3 in the medium, so you know where NOT to water! Water around them!! They hold a fair amount of water and damp your beans off!

I normally use an ice pick but toothpick would work fine. I poke it till it sorta almost falls apart.

Thats right, the whole reason we got to know each other. Had to make sure you had some WJ to make things right again
