Fungus?
Does this look like fungus to anyone else? I was looking at the soil of a plant that is not doing well, and saw this. It could also be roots maybe?

Rootbound recovery time
3 Bruce Banner plants were rootbound for about a week and a half or that's when I started seeing symptoms. I transplanted then into bigger pots yesterday. Will they be okay and if so how long will it take then to get back on track?

Why should the tap root grow for some days before potting?
Not a problem, but I'm eager to learn: Most tutorials recommend to let the tap root grow to about 2.5 cm before potting. Does anybody have a rationale for that? To me this sounds counter-productive (light protection for roots, correct orientation of seed). What am I missing?

Adding soil to the new roots on stem
Hello everyone, after the night I noticed that there are a lot of new roots trying to grow from stem. I know this is ok, but I wonder can I add some soil on top of the existing to help develop these roots? Won't it cause stem rot? I want to fill the space in my pot

Roots on fire
We are in the 4th week of vegi period and changed the pots one week ago. From 0,5 liter to 11 Liter. And now the roots came out of the pots on the downsite (one 10cm). Is that a problem or can we just leave them like this and send them to bloom? If its a problem, what can we do?

Fungi around the seedling
I've noticed some small mushrooms coming out of the soil - I used mycorrhizae around the seed holes, but it's supposed to spread through the roots. There's also some greening on the parts of the soil like bark. Is that a good sign?

Roots showing
I'm in a pickle. I just lst'd and flushed this little one, picked her up and notice those little tips. How long can it survive in this planter? I really don't want to transplant into a bigger pot. Could I just tape it off 😂 till the stem stiffs up and soil dries?

When to stop misting seedling? What to look out for before watering normally?
When can seedling root system handle normal watering, NOT misting to absorb moisture through leaves? I want to avoid overwatering. Outdoor grow. I've misted for the first few days, started watering using a turkey baster yesterday + today w. 6.3PH at topsoil and bottom dish.

B.A.C Funky Fungi (mycorrhiza)
Tell me, in my new cycles I want to use B. A. C. Funky Fungi (mycorrhiza). How better should I do this? As I understood bio grains in dry form should be added to the new top layer of the substrate 2 centimeters, per 1 plant about 5 grams of bio grains of mold fungi.

Tap root surfaced
Hello I have zero experience in growing cannabis. I germinated 2 autoflowers and both popped but, one tap root grew upwards. As soon as I noticed it I reposition it as carefully and easily as possible.Being an autoflower does it even have a chance. Posted pic on diary. Thanks

Soil heater
Got a soil heater today, wrapped it around the bottom of my fabric pots. Is that the way I’m supposed to do it? There weren’t any instructions on the package & I’m not big on YouTube tutorials. Ive also been playing music for them during day light. Do any of you do this?
