Check out this crazy tap root, what do i do?

This has only been growing since Friday. The root has gone all the way down to the bottom of the plug. managed to wrap itself around the bottom of the plug. Then the taproot proceeds to wrap itself around the plug on its way up the plug, and now the bottom of the taproot is climbing out of the plug? None of my other seeds are doing these gymnastics? Seems like shes having a hard time breaking her shell open too.

Hard to see the photo but the little root went all the way to the bottom of the plug wrapped itself around the wall of the plug then up and the little end of the root seems to now be reaching up for the light weird?

i just had some nirvana papaya and ppp sprout and almost all of them are doing the same thing.. when i germinated them the tap root was barely if at all out of the seed and its confussed lol. when you germ longer taproots they tend to straighten before you plant them i think.

Those plugs are designed for cuttings. Try soil,,, even now. Cover the seedling loosely and it will shrug off the shell on it's own,,, probably.

No those plugs are not designed for cuttings. Ever hear of a hothouse. Well I for one totally recommend them now especially for seeds. I have got 100% percent germination and that never happens with soil. Im going to leave the little ladies in the hothouse another two weeks. Definitely worth $60 for the hothouse. www.hydrofarm.com

Im so happy right now I am switching from soil to hydroponics. Those plugs will be great to hold up the plant in them buckets.

No? How can you tell? Is it the pencil width hole in the peat plugs or are you blaming perlite for your germination problems?
