Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Help! Datura roots coming thru the sides of the 4" peat pots, 1 by TwinLakesChef

Yesterday - horrified to see roots poking through the sides of the pots.

Under grow lights were packed up against each other too tightly-mold formed on outside of pots

Spread out on the floor- to get air circulating between them. Ceiling fans on so that should help.

Think they might have been so fast due to temperature, too high humidity, and too much water. Want to pull the moldy parts of the peatpots off, pot up in gallons-especially so I don't have to water as often.

Peat pots dry out too fast.

And interestingly, the one you see in the lower left hand corner, in the plastic yogurt container, seems to be a little bigger than the rest. Maybe due to less fluctuation between too dry and too wet?
