White things coming out of the bottom

[Yam9000Studio]

I think they are roots. They came out of one of my plants a few weeks ago and i didnt think abything of it. Now all my plants are doing it. (does anyone know what i'm talking about?) I'm pretty sure they are roots soooo.....If they are, should i be filling my pots up over them? they look wierd........

[Guest Urbanhog]

yeah i get them all the time... nothing to worry, I never top up, if the plants are happy and doing well.... nothing to worry Some might top up.... but dunno if that might cause root/stem rot.. no idea as I never done that, I just leave them alone.

 

Cheers,

g'day; sounds like roots, backfill around roots with more medium, you wont have root rot.

Thx for the replies guys.

I was pretty sure they were roots. They look cool! anyways. The plants that there coming out of are only 2 weeks old. the stems are nearly 10mm already. this is my first grow so I dunno if this is just normal Hydroponics or if i'm onto something here. I'll attach a pic of one of the 2 week old plants and another pic of the leaves curling up. I still don;t know what this is......

I'm in the middle of building a bubbler system to put them in. is this a good idea? I was going to build another PVC system but instead of 4" pvc i was planning on using 12" and having 6" net pots in em, But cuz of the prive of PVC i gotta save a few more $$$

 

I'm about to transplant them but the root masses out the bottoms of the pots is crazy. How do i get the plant out without hurting it?

if that pot is a net pot it doesn't necessarily need to be bigger if you've got it sitting in a bubbler. the roots just grow through...

g'day; i agree...if pot is net pot, no need to worry.

leaf curl you say???

those leaf look good to me, curve of leave is not necessarily leaf-curl.

blueberry grows spastic with twisted leaf etc.

i would not worry yet.
