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!

Planting directly into soil with full of other roots? (Outdoor Guerilla Autoflower)
The site is full of brambles with dense rootzones. I have dug a hole but its full of roots. Is it OK if I cut down every single root from my hole? Could my plant catch bacteria and etc from the brambles roots? Won't the brambles roots suck away all my nutrient from my plant?

Cloning issues; inconsistency, wilting
Cloning newb here. I'm trying to root in soil, with a dome and misting intermittently. Some of the clones are doing okay, some are doing not so well (drooping, etc) and a couple are wilting and dying. Any idea what may be causing the inconsistency/failures?
