Hey RIU, just had a quick question. I lifted up the pot of one of my girls today and noticed a HUGE root growing out of one of the drainage holes.. I kinda tucked it back in there cause i dont want it just sitting out.. But what should i do lol?

Im growing in Botanicare Cocogro. She was transplated into a 1.5 gallon pot on day 15, currently on day 18 and i noticed this!

dont put the roots back in, lift the pot up with something and let the roots hang, just be sure to have them covered from the lights, roots arent a big fan of light, but also not a fan of being pushed back into the bucket, OR!!! yes ^^^^^^^^transplant into a five gallon pot, best case.

not questioning everyone, but its only been in the pot 3 days? needs a transplant already?
could i cut the root? its only the one that has popped out of the drainage hole

3 days really doesnt mean anything, its the fact that roots are coming out the bottom, so if you had a hydro system good let em hang in a closed environment, but looks like youre using soil, so i would go in a bigger pot so the root stay inside, the more space for the roots, the better, especially with soil as all the roots are to stay cotained to the pot.
