Spiraling Tap Roots on my SFV OG Bx2?

[Foxfarmfreak]

So yesterday I transplanted my 16 Cali-connect babies, all of them are on par together, except for 2 SFV that look like runts (half as big as their siblings), and they were in the same cup....

As I transplanted everything, I just dumped the cup upside down into my fingers to release the plants, then I would split the dirt in half between them and put each one into its own 1 gallon pot, Well, When I turned over the 2 Runt SFV's, I saw something I'd never seen before....

The tap roots went all the way to the bottom of the cup, but then they turned and did a spiral around themselves cutting off any new direction til the growing tip was locked into the center, both spirals were a little smaller than a dime....I'm pretty sure if I hadn't caught it they would've been severely handicapped or even worse.

I wish I had taken a picture, but I didn't, I will try and draw something up real quick, strangest thing I've seen in a while, anyone else ever seen this?

Here's my best illustration, to try and explain it...

Peace FFF:harvest:

I wouldnt trip they are probably just a little shocked from the transplant. Did you pull them apart? Are you giving them any ferts?

why would you plant 2 in one cup, that does not make sense, and roots spiral always when they hit the bottom of a hard plastic cup, can look weird especially if left in the cup too long, you should transplant them into separate containers and not loose hope, did you plant them all 2 per cup?
