Hello again everyone. Just another question. I have some clones that are over 2 months old,and i just put them all in there final pots, but i noticed on every single plant, the roots looked real fuzzy. is that really bad and how can i avoid that in the future?

yeah its in soil. i already put them in bigger pots and i never did take any pics =( i didnt even think about it at the time.

Not all roots were moldy, mostly the larger longer ones, and it basically just looked fuzzy, fluffly,and it was white. not really sure else how to describe it.

You lucky man..... you got myc-fungi for free (I had to pay a lot for just 50 grams of myc.).
They help the roots take in nutrients by living together with roots.

Maybe not even fungi. I find when I grow in substrate the roots often have a lot of micro roots. They're a real trip to look at under the mini-microscopes we use to check out our resin glands.

your right it might not of been fungi, but it sure did look like it. next time i get a chance ill try lookin at it under the scope, i bet that looks like some crazy shit lol

speaking of looking under the scope lol, i was bored one night up late stoned drinking a coca cola, and i noticed a little gnat floating on the top of the coke. And this was one of those really tiny gnats.
well i just got the scope so i was looking at everything i could, so i carefully scooped the lifeless gnat out, making sure not to crush it, and i put it on a piece of paper and started looking at it. i could see soooo close to it! i could see little tiny hairs on his legs, and about 100 little eyes within the 2 eyes, and little blue veins kinda all over. well im staring at this thing for like a minute or two, amazed by how freaky it looks so close, and all the sudden, all the veins started pulsing! then the whole gnat started pulsing! i freaked out and kinda cocked my head back real quick, and this damn thing came back to life and was on its feet walking fast across the paper! So i killed the damn thing as fast as i could. gave me the chills for like a weeks lol

I also have a zero-tolerance policy on zombie gnats. If we let them through, the terrorists win. That would definitely give me the cold'n'hairys...
I recently picked up a microscope off the c-list for like 100 bucks that has several different lenses. It was my little nugget inspector that inspired the purchase. Now I peep everything through that $h!t...
