hydro plant root bound help

[TurboALLWD]

so my hydro plants appear to be root bound from growing in my small bubble cloner(same one in the DIY thread). I didn't notice until i transplanted them into the hydroton and net pots. Will they be alright? will they untangle themselves? damn this sucks.

Did you already separate them ? If you did you would of just kept as much root as you can on each. Even if you lose a good bit of root they will be OK. Just make sure dead roots don't stay in system.

You can even cut the roots to just barely hit the water and it will only slow you down a few days. The younger the faster they come back.

thanks for the help and good info Locnar, I didn't separate them, i just put them into the hydroton and hoped for the best, theirs plenty of roots coming out of the net pot bottom.
