New Grower Root Riot Cube problem

[yodabuds]

How is everyone doing? I put a seed in a root riot cube and now instead of the seedling I'm seeing the bottom root coming up, what should I do? Should I turn it upside down? Will it grow through the bottom? I thought for sure tap root was facing down? Suggestions of what to do?

i`ve seen people telling to gently pic the seed upp with a pair of tweezers, and put them down the right way. but never tried it or anything :group:

I would try Rebelroy's advice. I had one come up and dry out. Then its too late.

I had this happen once in a rockwool cube. I basically split the rockwool open halfway, pointed the root down, and kind of put the cube back together as best as i could. Just be super careful to harm the taproot in any way and flip it over as gently as you can. Plant popped up like normal and never showed any sign of stress.
