drainage

[everest]

hi, i've just had a quick look at the roots of a 6 week old seedling and they are fury , is this normal ? or do you think my soil mix is too cloggy . i got em in vroom , 60% 40% vermiculite . ta for any help

Everest, When you say they are fury do you mean they are white and have loads of very fine hairs around them??

 

If this is what you are seeing then it's perfectly ok and a normal part of the root system.

 

I'd watch your PH with the vroom soil as I (and pipeman I think?) have had issues with the soil being very alkaline.
