So i have my seeds in a Propagation setup and it seems to be working the only problem is that it looks like my roots are trying to come out of the top of the plugs that I am using... I'm not sure if i should tweeze them out and put them into actual soil yet and keep them under the T5 cause i know its way to soon to put them in the tent with the 400w Mh. I appreciate any advice you guys give as always.
 
I would not mess with ur root system, plant them & leave them under ur T5 for 2-3 weeks (I leave mine a full 3 weeks) before putting under 400 MH

thanks for the advice however my question is more along the lines of...

I see a white protrusion from one of the tops of the plugs. Am i to the point to where i need to put them in cups with soil and leave them under the t5 or is this not a root but a part of the plant coming up (hard to think it would happen this quick).

I know its hard to see and apologize about the crapy picture. I didn't want to mess up the climate by opening to take a picture. but near the middle of the plug is the white protrusion im speaking of.

okay re-read ur 2 posts, no you do not at any point "tweeze" ur seedlings from ur plug to put into soil. People who use rooting cubes, plugs, etc. plant those right IN the soil; they should disintegrate within the soil & become part of it. Wait until the seedlings are fully above the plug a day or two & then plant in soil. Did that answer ur question(s)? Hope so!
