Problem: Soil gets dry and Eazy Plug keeps lifting which could cause root damage.

started grow question 3y ago
Is there anyway I can avoid this besides keeping it wet and pressed down until stronger roots form? I'm worried about the root structure and stress if I have to keep pressing it into the soil...

When I've had this problem in the past I usually just put more soil on top, but I've never used crop cover, so not sure if an option?

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.

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?

Roots at the base of stock above soil
Just noticed what appears to be roots at the base of the stock after watering. Should these be covered back up from the light? Does it matter? They seem like strong roots that branched off just below the soil. First time I have noticed this. Thanks for any help or info. 👊

Fungi around the seedling
I've noticed some small mushrooms coming out of the soil - I used mycorrhizae around the seed holes, but it's supposed to spread through the roots. There's also some greening on the parts of the soil like bark. Is that a good sign?

Корни над землей
Несколько корней поднялись над землей. Могут ли быть проблемы? Добавить земли, вермикулита? В моем горшке есть отверстия сбоку, но корни пока до отверстий не доросли.

Springtails in Waste water CoCo
Hi all, I have just watered my almost 3 week old plants, they are in coco, and I collect the waste water to measure my PH values. To my great surprise I saw something moving in my waste water (see photo). I did some searching on the internet and found that they are springtails.

pH/EC/Medium issues
I have turned off CO2 because the amount these tiny seedlings are using is so small that the CO2 in the room remains around 450 nevertheless. I can turn on CO2 as soon as needed however. I am using pH paper strips to be sure. I bought some different light mix for seedlings.
