Large roots exposed on top of soil

so people I’m 3 weeks into flower and a few of my plants have large roots showing on the top of the soil they are in 27 litre pots I’ve been reading abut about it but haven’t had a definitive answer the roots that are exposed are hardened off and are about 8 mm thick looks more like part of the stalk now well anyway what I want to know is can this cause the plant issues or is it nothing to worry about I’m getting mixed answers everywhere plant didn’t look unhealthy atall thanks

It's nothing to worry about. Pics of it would be fun to see.

Here’s a couple of pics 3 weeks from flip

Sorry didn’t see your reply this wasn’t the reply of the pics u asked lol

I didn’t actually take pics of the roots but will be back home tomorrow so will take some and upload them some of the roots the width of them is crazy

Well good to hear it’s not a big problem thanks

Don't worry. It's a non issue.

Add soil or perlite if you are worried but it's not a big deal.

I like root shots. Not that anything is wrong with your plant. No worries.

^ .. yep just put a little dirt on it Jimmy! Going forward don't always water in the same spot at the base of the plant for best results, good luck!

Yh was thinking of going to get another bag of soil to cover them but where they have hardened off now was considering just letting them be these are some shots I took today u think there be alright?

Cover them with dirt?
They don't exactly like the light.

They be fine.

Lol see I always get mixed answers some people say the be fine others say to cover em I’m just gonna let em be I think they been like it a couple weeks now and they seem to be happy the way they are thanks people

Another quick question I noticed yesterday when putting my hand through the plants my hand seems to get wet like there’s droplets of water on the leaves I think it’s down to the plants touching each other and holding moisture the humidity is about 30 percent I did try to give them as much room as I could but they went mental when I flipped em and grew way more than expected I stripped some leaves last night to create more air flow through the middle what’s everyone’s thoughts on heavy defoliation I’m 3 weeks into flower don’t want to end up getting any mould or anything??

They are above the soil because they want the extra oxygen. Let them be

I get that too but it never seemed to make a difference. They look like mine with root riot thingy sticking up in the center lol.

Here is a proper answer, but they also dont like light. Add a half inch of coco or perlite. That will block the light but still allow it the extra o2 it wants.

I do it intentionally when I transplant. I have found having exposed roots to work better than non. More oxygen equals faster growth
