It’s fine. Means you got some strong roots for one, and it will just air prune the roots and cause them to grow stronger within the pot. No worries!

Blätter gucken aus Samen ohne Stamm?
I bought 3 Purple Punch seeds. One of them didn't manage to grow roots out of the seed after 9 days. But this one has already developed the two round leaves without a stem. Is it due to the quality of the seed, or did I overlook something?

Feeding with dense roots?
So I'm using 5 and 7 gallon pots and I'm using Gaia greens and some worm poo for my feed but once they start to take off into flower, all of my dry amendments build up on top bc of the roots. I want to stay organic but how can I feed these girls once the roots block up the pot?

Roots at the base of stock above soil
Just noticed what appears to be roots at the base of the stock after watering. Should these be covered back up from the light? Does it matter? They seem like strong roots that branched off just below the soil. First time I have noticed this. Thanks for any help or info. 👊

Are roots disturbed by light?
Are roots disturbed by light? Is it safe to grow in a clear solo cup? I want to be able to see the roots (so I'm using clear cups), but I'm wondering if I should cover them with another cup or insulation of some type.

Mykorrhiza ohne umtopfen?
I use BioTabs Mycotrex and that's why I first planted my autoflower in a small pot, so I could then inoculate it with these fungi when transplanting into the final container. For this, 5g of the powder is added to the planting hole. Is there a better method for autoflowers?

pH/EC/Medium issues
I 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.

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.
