I have been roughing it up with my fingernails lately, but they're not quite that sharp!
However you spell it,
. It's also stinky AF!

Yeah, right...
Are you launching a CSI team as well now, I think its time to let those plants go now.
Yes, I wounder if we ever will land in what we were experiencing as normal before all this happened. I think its been and going to be a real wake up call for all of humanity. But it will all be forgotten in a few years as everything else that happened to us in the past.
Hope you keep busy with perfecting those plants Shed, so great to see you updating again we missed you!
Top of the day to Shed & the Shedders,
Ok ladies & germs, gotta jump in. Just saw the root coring but never tried it plain. But I’m down with root corings sister - spiking. Yup same as coring but wallow out the hole & add your secret sauce - kelp, mycos, silica, aloe, ewc or DE down to the rootzone.
I usually run a mix of sand & DE on top of soil as barrier. My last spikes were kelp, the fungus gnats loved that shit & threw an orgy. So if you core or spike you may want to cover your tracks else the disturbed media becomes an express elevator for critters to feast on your roots.

Never a problem in coco
Or perlite. 
I know Derby & Felipe, I hate you guys, just kidding!!!
I migrated to soil cuz I killed ‘em in every other medium. Now to be fair - I never tried hempys. I’ve got a nice 4 gallon bucket drilled and ready but just bought pair of mars lights. Mega crop is next on the purchase list, after that I’ll give hempys & coco another go around.

Are you talking about scoring the tap root to create more root growth (is that's even a thing), or are you actually shaving off the thinner roots?
I'm asking, so that I can fill my bag of tricks for when I get into photos...

OK! It sounds a bit scary 
However, now that you guys have mentioned this, I see that it's a practice with other plants too. So something like this then (only not as much) (?)

To be clear, you should slice down each side of the root ball (4 cuts) about 1/2” to 1” deep (depending). Spread the root ball open at the bottom a bit before re-potting. You don’t need to mess with the tap root.

I'd like to have your attention for a minute in the middle of the discussion of the rhyming techniques of root coring and root scoring. I'd like to play the old game of guess the sex for the AF-47 on flip day 6:
Fire away!
Fire away!

IKR! Frickin' XY x XX (thank you VG)! Hermaphrodite amirite?
Can I cut off the flowers with balls and leave the ones with pistils (if there is a clear difference)? Or do I have to throw out the whole thing?

Hey folks, if you ever want to find out what your plants will smell like during flower, I found a reliable way to smell your plant before they enter flowering
So these 5 gallon DWC's are a month old.
I just take the inside of one of my fingers, (preferably it doesn't already smell like nutes or roaches
) and I stroke the stem of a branch for a few passes then smell your finger!
My R hybrid (front) smells like skunk! The R indica (back) smells like musty pine!
I just wanted to share that little trick with you folks! you should try it with some of your plants. It's possible to narrow down the terps in your plants before you even know what's there! this was important because I have a few random unknowns in my closet right now. I'm just waiting for them to show sex now.
