Yeah I lost about 60% of mine overall. Trimming the roots is easy, just snip with scissors. I started all mine in DE so it was easy. Trimming the roots keeps the plant from pushing to much liquid through the stem, which can hinder healing & also triggers the plant to focus on root growth while the cut heals, which is what you want. I pre soaked all my DE with Miracle-grow and never fed or watered again. I found spraying more than very occasionally will cause stem rot.
