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!

Mold on roots??After having my ph problem "fixed" (plants are still turning lime), I wanted to check the second runoff, I lift up the pot, lo and behold, the roots have some "white" stuff around their tips, is this mold????
I can smear it on my finger, it leaves somewhat of a trail

Roots showingI'm in a pickle. I just lst'd and flushed this little one, picked her up and notice those little tips. How long can it survive in this planter? I really don't want to transplant into a bigger pot. Could I just tape it off 😂 till the stem stiffs up and soil dries?Plant. Other

Root aphids in flowering?What I initially thought was a nutrient issue I am now convinced is a root aphid issue. Noticed a few small white bugs crawling on top of the soil and I don’t know how to get rid of them without harming my plant. She’s in 5th week of flowering so I don’t think neem is ideal.Other. Bugs

Soil heaterGot a soil heater today, wrapped it around the bottom of my fabric pots. Is that the way I’m supposed to do it? There weren’t any instructions on the package & I’m not big on YouTube tutorials. Ive also been playing music for them during day light. Do any of you do this?Plant. Other

Mold between the pots and on the soil's surface, should I be worried ?So my pots are very close to one another so they can't breathe enough but my space is quite limited and in veg maybe there was not enough extraction. Now that they are in the flowering room they have a little more space but still too cramped. It's just one or 2 pots out of six3y ago
