#1 Clear container not good for roots, light = bad for roots.Looks a lot like some type of fungus, probably yellow house plant mushroom, it's just growing below grade because light gets to it.

do i have to re pot the plant or can i just cover up the container so no light gets to the roots i dont want to take a loss on it. or can i try to clean it out without transplanting and cover the sides because it is a lst plant that have been vegging for 3 months so its kinda big to transplant and re tie every branch.

You could just black out the sides. Won't kill the fungus and not sure if cinnamon would do the trick or not. Downside of Cinnamon is it kills the bad and good fungi

Probably wont do anything to the plant, if you have allergies the spores in the house may suck though. No point in digging them out. Spores and ect are already in soil. Black out sides and let soil dry more between watering.

D's right, but let it dry well between waterings, and make sure you have good drainage also.
Good luck.

i have grown shit loads of plants in clear containers never seemed to phase them, only downfall is algea will grow if kept moist enough but algea isnt a issue in soil just hydro
