Hey All,

I had a taproot grow upside down, growing out of the soil. After a day it didnt look as hairy, but still white green and somewhat fuzzy.

Replanted. Myco'd. and sprayed down.

Think it will make it?

Old school says tap root goes up then down if I remember correctly. This sheds the seed casing when it flips down but I always just drop my seeds in and see what happens

I was gentle with it and massaged dirt over top. We'll see in the next 2 days.

Personally I think it will be fine. Not much different than germ in a paper towel then planting. I didnt touch the root, so its really on the plant/ soil if it wants to seek a better and more prosperous life.

Greetings RIU friends,

My replanted child began sprouting late last night and is officially pointing to the light this morning. I suspect in the next day or so it will open up.

Mycos is a wonderful tool.
