Wow, some lovely strains you got going there...would love to try out the SAD & Cream Caramel one day.
My auto's always started out with some very weird growth. They eventually come right on their own though. When i germ them, i just wait for the seed to crack then pop it into soil so i dont really watch the tap root. Put it into your pot and just let her go man, i'm sure it will come out just fine
