I germinated my seeds, then placed them in dixie cups and let them sprout, the sprouts roots grew up past the soil by about 1-2 inches. is this ok? should i just add more soild so that the roots are covered? I cant take pics because I just got Vista and it doesnt comply with my camera software

Can add more soil I'm guessing it's not 1-2inchs thats crazy lol... if it's that much you need to reset it. Make sure your soil isn't super compacted.. air it out,crumble it up. Snag a cheap Coco Coir 4x4 brick for like $5.00 and add 1gallon of water.. it'll fill like 10 party cups and it's a nice medium alt if your using potting soil. Mine did the same thing in potting soil..

how big is your sprout? but yah like he said you need you soil to be able to breath. The coco is good so is perlite.

Transplant ASAP, and add a lot more soil. Fill it till the soil in 1cm under the colyeotes. (sp? first little round leaves)
