Mold on roots, seedling

Mel_Macallanstarted grow question 5y ago

I have a fat banana auto, in a 1.5 l put cut out bottom because I'm planing on transplanting it to bigger pot as soon as my other auto finished off. (About 2 more weeks) . Today i discovered the roots are already touching bottom of the cut out pot. Is this mold on the roots??

No it is not mould, but "radicles" or "lateral meristems" and are the beginnings of the roots branching out into a feathery pattern. Nothing wrong, totally normal. Hope this helps,............. Organoman.

Do not worry friend, the stuff that looks like mold is actually the roots. I have always had roots like this at the begining, those fuzzy roots will eventually get thicker and resemble what you are used to. Dont fret its all natural!

I don't believe it is. I'm sure the plants would look stressed if it was.

I've always gone from root cube directly to 3-gallon pots. I can't compare the difference with transplanting from solo cups because I don't have any experience. Have any of you found a significant advantage to adding an extra transplant? I figure 3-gallon pots aren't THAT big.

PH of soil 7.3, PH of water 6,3-6.7, how come?For the readers, if there are any, I have a few questions: - Can I still get the PH of the soil to drop? Or has this ship sailed? Is it worrysome, since I always make sure the PH of my feeding-water is about 6,5? Will they take up enough nutrients if the water's PH is OK?

I used a three gallon pot and filled it, with moist soil, to around 70% capacity. Would this soil be enough for a single Royal Gorilla Auto or Should I add more soil? If the answer is positive then how should I go about it? Any help is greatly appreciated since I am a total noob.

First time I'm using air pots. I always empty the trays with runoff water (if there is any) and I noticed the roots on the bottom side. They seem rather long? I was under the assumption they would be 'air pruned'?
