Itโs 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!

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

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. ๐

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 donโt do anything.

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.

Can you please tell me if the sides need to be covered with earth?
When I covered the soil in the beginning it wasn't like that, but after waterings the soil shrunk and now there is space between the pot fabric and the soil. Should I add more soil to avoid root problems? And also the water drains down there and quickly runs downhill ๐

B.A.C Funky Fungi (mycorrhiza)
Tell me, in my new cycles I want to use B. A. C. Funky Fungi (mycorrhiza). How better should I do this? As I understood bio grains in dry form should be added to the new top layer of the substrate 2 centimeters, per 1 plant about 5 grams of bio grains of mold fungi.

Watering
Hi 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?
