Root system not looking good, correct?

This is /not/ how a root system should look at 15 days, correct? It looks like the roots were suffocated. Would perlite help going forward in the future? Had abt 20% plite. Is the organic potting soil I got just low quality and too dense? I definitely chronically overwatered too

Oh no there should be so much more! They just drowned and stopped growing.. I'd toss and start again. Improve the drainage or go buy a fabric pot. I'm in love with them fixes that issue instantly!! Happy growing!

Thanks friends –– I think I'm going to use a plastic clear solo cup with much more perlite and a bit of coco coir for the first bit so I can see what's going on with the soil and maybe roots, and fabric pots for the transplant. Thanks as always for the help

Soil is supposed to be the easiest way to grow yet so many have so many problems. I grow in straight nutrimix HP . It's a peat and perlite mix. It makes a great medium and plants grow as fast as in rdwc. Water feed water feed. Dont have to wonder if your soil is or has lost nutes. Much easier but I get it, people think organic ferts is different than hydro ferts so their doing something better for their health.
