Nothing. It will air prune itself, and the plant will have plenty of other viable roots to grow with.

agreed. just leave them alone and they will air prune themselves. just because you have roots showing doesn't mean you are ready for a transplant yet.

Thank you for the input everyone. I will just let my babies continue as they are.
This goes for any other noobies who may read this as well.
Next time you fill a pot with soil, cover over the drain holes with little pieces (about 2" or 3" square) of window screen materiel before you add the soil. This will also stop the medium from leaking out the bottom and making a mess. You can use almost anything for this, in the past I have even used old, cut up, T-Shirts.

This has been helpful to this noobie. I am going to start some party cups and let them stay in the cups all the way through till harvest. Thought the roots might become a problem
.... but now I have a prevention. Thanks for the info.Similar threads
