Roots through bottom of solo cup

Hi.

I'm not sure what to do.
Should I transplant now and cut the extra long root or try to save the root? Wait to transplant?

Any advice?
She's going into 3 gall fab pot next.

it’s fine man. you can transplant now or wait a little, it isnt root bound or anything. Dont worry about disturbing the roots, if they break off or whatever it wont hurt it at all. They can take some rough stuff.

i’d wait a little honestly. it’s still a really small little seedling at this point

Not ready to transplant.
Forget the roots.......wait until they're about this size before transplanting.

For sure, nevermind those runner roots. Always remember,...... top growth is a direct reflection of root mass/ health/ development. When in doubt... wait it out!

If you keep them in another sealed cup the moisture inside will draw the roots out into it. If it's open the roots will air prune and fill the medium instead
Don't get too caught up with light touching the roots. Imo it doesn't matter much. The only issues you will come across is algae.

So I transplanted Jan 3rd. She is very happy in her new home and was perked up after 16 hrs or so.. I did have a rough time with transplant, I think bc I thought she was drier but was in fact pretty moist and the soil started separating... ugh.. worried she'll flower due to stress but she seems OK now. We'll see. I put myco on roots and in transplant hole.

I wanted to ask what you people think about these roots. Is this considered the start of rootbound? Was this good timing to move or late/ early.

Trying to judge for next time.

BTW the 40 rh is with tent door open

Not even close to root bound.

Mick is bang on!

Most people dont get root bound under normal situations growing weed.

I had some a few week back that were , possibly for the first time after many many years growing.
Wish I'd taken pics.

Roots circle in hard pots, or escape through holes..
They have calcium receptors and hit something like plastic and carry on growing creating circling , it's just what roots do.

So do you think I should have waited to transplant or it doesn't really matter either way?

You're fine.

If it's an auto, transplanting might stunt it, but I think that's only some autos. I dunno, I hear conflicting things about that.

Like was said, root bound is not a common problem really. A healthy cannabis plant happily fills a new, bigger pot with roots.

The bigger issue with being in too small a container is the wet/dry cycle gets really short and if you're not careful, boom, crispy plants.
