:lol: Are you sure that wasnt some sort of bug? I am new to this as well, but I think roots usually grow down not up.. :hump:

Dude you dont tap roots and then they automatically go down into their home like some animal. That was a bug you saw. roots just dont do that.

whenever you buy new soil always bake it. a lot of larvae and/or bugs come in soil.

Yea baking the soil will kill all those bugs and larvae that can't wait for roots and moist soil. I learned it from my mom but maybe they don't put it in grow guides cause they figure everyone should know to bake their soil but I myself wouldn't of known lol .
