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!

Indoor companions in the same container? I already use the CO2 mushroom bags. But what about in with the plants container an in an indoor grow?
I am using coco coir and perlite as the medium. I would assume it would only make a difference if it was in the same container as the plants to interact. Or be a fungus, I think most produce at least some amount of CO2. Can I use companion fungus/plants in the same pot?

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?

Cutting the bottom of biodegradable pots ?
And when I will put them in the large 30l pots within 1 week, I am thinking of cutting the bottom of the biodegradable pots (because I have read that sometimes the roots have trouble getting through). Is it a good idea ?

Friends, help me understand what the problem of the plant is!!
I can not understand that with plants different tips come most people think that the problem is nitrogen! Others say it's zinc or cal-mag! I can't decide how to properly help the plant! I also thought maybe it's too much blowing inside the box!?

Should I repot at day 18?
Should I repot to a pot of 15-20l? I'm kinda regretting I planted it in a pot with +-4l of soil. I want to plant her out in full ground around week 5 when the belgian weather starts getting milder, and I'm not sure if it's worth repotting now for another 2-3w, given the risk.

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.

Root rot DWC?
Is this the onset of root rot or just normal staining? The tank doesn't smell bad but I haven't used any temperature controls in this bucket. I am intentionally not giving this bucket ice to see what I can get away with going forward. If root rot, 24 hrs of H2O2 and H20? Thanks

Why should the tap root grow for some days before potting?
Not a problem, but I'm eager to learn: Most tutorials recommend to let the tap root grow to about 2.5 cm before potting. Does anybody have a rationale for that? To me this sounds counter-productive (light protection for roots, correct orientation of seed). What am I missing?

Liquid oxygen
Would you all use this in your water when trying to give oxygen to the roots? I’m noticing some really dense, not drying up that quickly soil so it’s making me think that they can’t breath. I don’t know, just making sure every part of the plant is happy & healthy.
