What’s up everyone, I transplanted my girls into their final pot yesterday and I noticed something I’ve never seen before. Here is a picture of one of the plant’s roots. Has anyone ever seen this before and if do you know if it’s a problem? They look healthy, the only thing I’ve noticed over these last 2 weeks is somewhat slowed growth but I figured that was because the plants needed a new pot. All help is appreciated

I opened up a few bags of fox farm cultivation nation and that shit was all over the medium. Tossed it out
That may have been mycelium? White fuzz,Which is a good thing.Or did you see the small egg looking things?

It's not labeled as containing beneficial Micros so I can only assume it was a defective bag. It was also a little damp so guessing water got in somewhere in shipping though the bag wasn't ripped.
Either way wasn't willing to risk it

Is that mycelium? Isn't that a good thing to have??
Mycelium isn't usually yellow like that, they're white. Mycelium requires oxygen, so idk what this is, little chance of it being an anaerobic bacteria from the looks of his setup. Otherwise i would say it's an anaerobic bacteria that's yellow. No clue what that stuff is, but plants don't mind. I've seen red, blueish, white molds...never seen a yellow mold in my soil :(
Edit, but yes mycelium is awesome to have around

Fulgio Septica- Fuligo septica is a species of slime mold, and a member of the class Myxomycetes. It is commonly known as the scrambled egg slime, or flowers of tan[2] because of its peculiar yellowish, bile-colored appearance. Also known as the dog vomit slime mold, it is common with a worldwide distribution, and it is often found on bark mulch in urban areas after heavy rain or excessive watering.

Thanks everyone, I’m using coco this run too I forgot to mention that. As far as over watering I don’t think that’s the case but I’m open to all speculation because I don’t know what the hell it is myself. I’ve only been feeding about 1.5 liters in 3 gallon pots without watering until run off. When I was filling the transplant pots I noticed it was in the bag of coco as well, I’m using Coco Loco by fox farm

What’s up everyone, I think I’m about 2.5 weeks into flower I can’t remember when I flipped the lights but wanted to ask if you guys think I should defoliate more at the bottoms, and that one I was gonna transplant looks healthy but if you look at the 2nd pic you can see it’s not as big or wide as the others so I’m thinking I’ll just leave it alone to avoid shock at this point, what are you guy’s thoughts, thanks
