Seedling Help!

[ARCHER12]

I have started 6 seeds in 2 in rock wool cubes - one cube seems to have sprouted a white sprout with small whitish leaves and another has a tap root that has come up out of the cube and back down into it.

My questions: What if anything do I do about the exposed tap root? - Do I need to separate the one that seems to have sprouted from the others and put it under a light so that it can get some color?

Planning on moving to 6 site RDWC with hydroton when ready. Link to journal in signature if you need more information - as always, Thanks so much!

Mutations happen.

Treat all your seedlings the same. Transplant them right away, so they have some substrate to grow into. You can plant them deeper to cover stretched-out stems and to bury roots that grew the wrong way.

I had an AK48 do a loop-de-loop with it's taproot, too. Weird sh**! And I have had colorless sprouts or sprouts without growing tips, or two, or three growing tips. They sorted themselves out when they got older.
