@ Hopper....
Speaking of roots.... If you utilize Mycorrhizae .....
I have spent a fair amount of scratch on different brands... It is expensive when you purchase it from the Marijuana companies...But, after trying outside of the industry brands, I found the best product yet. It cost nothing in comparison. I have awesome success with it... I did the side by side and consistency testing... Turned out to be worth my time. (see Wallace WOW). I found it had the most bang for the buck. It had notably better results...
I also located the cheapest price to obtain it... Crappy thing is it's on Amazon...Even though I hate supporting them, it's the cheapest I could find for myself...
I make sure to mix some EM in the transplant water, with a very small amount of fine powdered Myco from Blue Sky Organics (VERY pricey).... The EM supercharges the Myco. I also add a tiny bit of B-1, and grozyme.
Roots are vital, I learned that the hard way in my growing outdoor years... Trying to grow in acidic Cedar swamp death haha
