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!

Wood chips or spent mushroom straw?
So, woodchips, I know starve the soil of nitrogen, at first. From my understanding in the long run it would be more beneficial? I'm moving to full organic in the next run and from there on so any references would be very helpful!

Slow growth / not spreading out much / compact plant. What gives ? Should I attempt to defoliate to get more light in there / pump more nutes ?
Any advice on making it grow faster ? I'm in the 7th week of veg and it's not as bushy as it should. Still growing, just slow. It doesn't seem to want to spread much horizontally / fan leaves are staying relatively small. I'm in 3rd week of LSTing. Am I being impatient ?

This is my OG kush fem in vegetation, with main lining. It's in a plastic 25L pot. I just noticed the roots has come outside the pot from the holes. Is it dangerous to leave it like this or I must transplant it? It still has a long way to go

Root loss shock?
Can I do anything?! I had her in with another seedling for the 1st 14 days and when I went to transplant them into their own pots their roots were completely entwined around each other. I tried to separate them but a good chunk of roots came away. They have both wilted badly!

Повредил Корни автоцвета при пересадке
Уважаемые, знатоки! При пересадки автоцвета из стакана в большую емкость на стадии 2 недели , я повредил ему корни, почти все нижние оторвались. Подскажите, может ему уже 100% быть карликовым? Может мне не стоит тратить время на него, так как немного места в боксе?
