Exposed roots?

DJKY71
DJKY71started grow question 4 years ago
Is it okay for the tops of the roots to show like this? Do I need to add more soil? Best guess is that she will be cut in 10 or 12 days

Nothing to worry about here, as you can see the exposed roots have "woodened" and have protected themselves. You can add soil but this is pretty common as plants get near the end of their cycle, most of your soil is a root sponge now anyways. Judging from your pictures as well, I'd think you have longer than 10 days, the pistils are still "fluffy" and calyx's haven't started to swell yet.

They'll just dry and harden off. Leave em be, or cover it up with more soil if you have some. This late into a grow there's a lot of roots been developed in that pot...it's normal for them to start poking out, or being visible when you water and the soil shifts.

it's not ideal. You can top off the soil in the pot as that happens, if you choose. Roots will change function when exposed - no longer acting like a root.
