The air pruning or drying out and dying off of the roots that do come out of the pot you have should work well in your system

It can actually encourage a very healthy root mass within the pot

I'm gonna still say go with your gut, if you want the roots contained carry on. If ya want to encourage them out then feeding more regular with help them survive in the air longer

Either way, I dont think your going to suffer, but I would think about upping feed slightly. She looks ready for a bit more grub

I currently flood 4x a day lights on. And at an EC of 0.6 ppm of 290

Changing the reservoir today. And was planning on upping the nutes:) was going to aim for an EC of 1.4ish or is that too much of a jump?

The 4 times a day sounds good

yeah that is a pretty big jump, usually 0.1-0.2 EC then give it 3-5 days to see reaction. id go to 0.8 EC maybe up to 1.0 EC if you think she will take it :)

Thank you so much for your advice and encouragement everyone. I will see how I feel after upping the nutes a bit and giving her some time to respond. Will keep you posted as always:) xxx

I forgot to add, she is really stinky already:) *bumshake* walked into my house yesterday (even though she is in a cupboard, in a closed room) and it smelt like a Cyprus Hill concert. I love it.
