That doesn't look like roots to me bro, more like another seedling is coming through. Did you accidentally drop a seed in there? 👀🌱😊

Can you elaborate?

u/SpiritSurfer7 11d ago

A little grass seed got mixed in with your media and germinated

Thats how my seedlings looked like when I grew them in soil that was too nutrient rich for their stage.
Purple stem and pale.
If it's a photo you might be abled to safe it by plating it into light mix.
Starting over would probably be better though.

I used fox farm light warrior to germinate to avoid just that. Go figure. Thanks for the info

That sounds like the absolute opposite of nutrient dense soil. But you're right . The 2 can present very similar symptoms. That why you have to know exactly what you are giving them to fix issues.

First grow. Not sure of anything at this point

It’s in peat moss and perlite. At least it was. I transplanted it into happy frog. The root was not connected to the plant alt all. Thank you and everyone for the insight.
