How should my seedling roots look like after 10 days in root riot?

New setup :D
What's with the toothpick down the middle and in the center you're probably ipping roots up. You really only needed them to suspend the root cube up. And again, you didn't tape the whole thing. Bare cardboard will get wet and fall apart. You gotta tape the whole thing up.

The bottom 2 skewers are holding the root riot, not going into it. The top one is reducing the space so that the root riot doesn't move. Also not going in it.

There is duct tape on the inside and outside of the TP, the brown part is an additional paper scotch tape to hold it all together since my duct tape finished.

Thanks Air!
I'm spraying it 2 times a day with RO 5.7 + 1/4 Cal Mag + 1/4 root booster
The cotyledon is turning yellow though, is the plant telling me something or is it normal?

Time to feed it..... Get your CalMag/micro/gro/bloom nutes mixed IN THAT ORDER, then pH it and feed it with 1/8th strength nutes around 2-300ppm.

Aren't those roots getting air pruned? What's you're rh is this in a dome?
I've had to use a dome or dip seedlings/cuttings into a cup with clean wet perlite too get thick white roots or it will just airprune or stop at the bottom and rot.
