I have this with growing broccoli and it always ends up stunting the plant. Its commonly called clubfoot, I'm going to bury it up to the first node when transplanting in hopes to get better rooting above it. Anyone experience this with cannabis?

I dont know if it is the same thing but my 1024 im growing right now did a loop somehow inside the rapid rooter and caused a whole bunch of issues when the root grew large enough to choke it's self. I stuck with it and thought i was gonna have to kill it but it stretched up and started producing. I was in hydro so i couldnt bury it above the knot like you are going to do but that would probably help. The 1024 has been a runty sickly plant but im gonna get some bud from it so i think if you do what you said you shouldnt have too many issues. May have to let it grow roots when you transplant before flowering it to make sure it doesnt have any issues during flower like mine did. Just my 2 cents!

I had this happen on 2 seeds I germinated in the past, neither grew well and quickly stunted. This is the first I've had it happen and not start out curly. With Broccoli I tamp the soil down before seed then firmly put soil on seed to keep this from happening. I'm wondering if this curl was because of loose soil with all the coco I have. I thought all tap roots were straight when I placed seeds in soil
