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.

Thirsty look - exposed rootsMy plant has been looking thirsty but I know it isn't a water problem. Had another look today and saw some roots were poking through the substrate as I suppose every time I water I'm displacing it! I added some more Coco today, but was wondering if it could be anything else?Week 5

Is this root rot? Can it be fixed?Over the past week I’ve noticed Plant 6 seems to have been stunted in its growth. It also doesn’t seem to be taking up water. All my other plants dry out fairly quickly. This one remains wet for days and days and doesn’t seem to dry out.
Can I fix this? Will it kill the plant?Week 6

I decided to take Purple out so its dead.Roots. Other

Super low runoff PH, even after corrective measures being taken. Plant otherwise okay, but probably isn't taking all her nutrients.My runoff PH has been hitting mid-5s, even after flushing (w/ & w/o additive). Been trying to raise with higher PH water, used 7.25PH water today and the runoff was still 5.56. She looks healthy other than some discoloration in some leaves, so it isn't killing her but.....????5y ago

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

Hey Guys, So I've been putting house and gardens amino treatment and root accelerator gold into my res and now I'm paranoid I have root rot. res is hella cold at 63 usually and they don't seem to be slimy aside from the gunk on them that I think is those additives. Is it normal?5y ago

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?Week 1
