Roots poking up near stem.

They are just reaching for moisture, nothing to worry about. Once they get established anything above soil will harden up.

White mold?My smart pot is turning white at the bottom. There also appears to be roots trying to pop through. I put rocks between the pot and plate for air. I have one blade of grass and a tiny weed popping up, so conditions at the top of the pot are okay. Should be worried?6y ago

WateringHi guys, I would like to ask, in the seedling phase the plant does not have a big root system so I'm just giving it 80 ml per day and because it's very hot the surface dry really quick so I'm watering every day. Should I give it more to avoid watering every day?Week 1

Mold on roots??After having my ph problem "fixed" (plants are still turning lime), I wanted to check the second runoff, I lift up the pot, lo and behold, the roots have some "white" stuff around their tips, is this mold????
I can smear it on my finger, it leaves somewhat of a trail

pH/EC/Medium issuesI have turned off CO2 because the amount these tiny seedlings are using is so small that the CO2 in the room remains around 450 nevertheless. I can turn on CO2 as soon as needed however.
I am using pH paper strips to be sure. I bought some different light mix for seedlings.Week 2

What's happening with this seedling?Hey guys!
So, I'm having some doubts with one of my seeds, as it looks like it sprouted upside down. Can't see any cotyledones, or even signs of the seed, that's what make me believe it's upside down. Any ideas?
RH in the tent has been quite low, around 15/20%.
thanks!6y ago
