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!

Light going through the bucket
I notice that light might be coming through the bucket. Not sure if this could be a problem, I think I will be doing something to cover the bucket. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance.

Roots poking through bottom of pot.
I just noticed yesterday that I’m starting to have a significant amount of roots shooting through the bottom of the pot. This far into the grow, would you recommend transplanting into a 5 gallon fabric or you think she’ll be ok?

Roots from trimmed leaf site?
Possible roots from lowest trimmed leaf site? Has anyone seen this? Is it indicative of other issues? Hard to get a picture as I can't move the plant (filled the tent).

Should I be planting my seeds deeper?
Should I be planting my seeds deeper? I’m seeing what look like roots trying to grow from the stem about 1/2”-3/4”up from soil level. Planted seeds about 1/2” below soil. How deep do you plant your germinated seeds in soil?

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

One of the seeds sprouted a double tap root. Any experiences with how the plant will develop? Is it worth keeping? Many thanks!

Tipped, Squashed Plant, Wobbly Trunk - Will it Survive?
Plant fell over and squashed against itself. The base of the trunk is wobbly but still attached deep down. I've packed soil around the base of the trunk to reinforce. I'm about 2 weeks from chop and want to know if it's worth harvesting now or if plant/yield will be fine?

First time grower, trouble with pythium
I have a 5 gallon mesh pot with coco Loko, if it is true that the plants damping off had pythium, could they have possibly tainted the coco loko medium that was in the tent ?

Roots in the tank of my drip system.
Hi, Is it bad that the roots are hanging all into my tank? If yes, how can I prevent this without Investing in a new system? If no, should I add an airstone/s to provide more oxygen? Or don’t do anything.

hydrogen peroxide to do or not to do that is the question?
anyone have any positive results from using hydrogen peroxide in their resevior tank. im sure if your using organic nutes its probably not a great idea because HP breaks down organic matter into o2 but im not using organic nutes and my thought was to use it to control alge?

Seedling with mold in drainage Holes :(
Hello, Im starting my seedlings and just noticed some white fuzzy mold on the drainage holes of the pot (probably because overwattering). The plants look fine but they're still very young (just one set of good leaves). Should I worry? What can I do to avoid loosing my plants?

Root rot? How to fix mid flower
What is this and how do I fix it! I am mid flower, plant is not drinking as much as usual, there are several "bleached" spots that I haven't been able to account for-- my guess is root rot despite plant otherwise seeming ok. How do I fix this midflower with home items?
