MY ROOTS

[cuzz305]

I've got a pretty decent sized pot. My plant is about 32 days old and im seeing that the tip of the roots are comming out of the draining holes at the bottom. is that normal?? Will the roots get BIGGER and pop out more? Should i get a bigger pot? Experienced growers amuse me with your knowledge please. Thanks in advance

EDIT: It's about a 3 gallon pot and i have it in my closet. On top of a book which is covered in aluminum foil so it reaches my 1 fluorescent better.

It's normal. The roottips that are growing out of the holes will soon dry out and die. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as when a rootip dies growth of lateral roots increase. There is actually a spray that you coat the inside of a pot with, that burns the roottips when they hit the sides, supposedly resulting in a lateral root explosion. Can't remember what it is called ATM.
