What is this. Is it algae

[Gorillaskunk]

I noticed green in the bottom of my coco coir along with a couple of the roots. Is this algae or what? And is there anything I can do?

That's what I thought it was. I've already wrapped the cup. Planning on transplanting next week. Not sure if I want to go into just a bit bigger pot. Or straight into the 5 gallon. Any thoughts?

You can't use transparent containers

Yes. Stay away from clear plastic pots. The light enables photosynthesis, promoting the green growth.

I use 5-gallon fabric and can recommend that size and type of pot.

Yea I figured that out.

From what I've read you can use the clear containers so you can monitor root growth, just drop that clear cup inside a colored cup like a red one that light can't get through next time.
