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!

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.

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.

What's happening with this seedling?
Hey guys! So, I'm having some doubts with one of my seeds, as it looks like it sprouted upside down. Can't see any cotyledones, or even signs of the seed, that's what make me believe it's upside down. Any ideas? RH in the tent has been quite low, around 15/20%. thanks!

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.

What size pot for final home
I am ready to transplant this girl. I have a 7 gallon plastic pot or a 30 gal tote from big lots I can drill holes in. Is the 30g overkill considering I only have 2-4 weeks until flower or will a increase in yield make it worth it? It has been in a 5g outdoors for 3 weeks.

problems with root washing
it's been almost 6 days since I washed the roots and the pot continues to seem heavy (even touching the ground you can feel it is still wet underneath) Do I keep waiting for it to dry completely? is there any trick to speed up this process?

Question on feminized seed growth
Can a feminized seed grown in a small pot 1gallon roughly be controlled in size by switching to a 12/12 light schedule ?! As I’m worried about it out growing it’s pot becoming root bound before it starts flowering and don’t want to transplant thanks !
