One of several clones that were transplanted today. This one pictured was cut a little over a week ago.

I love watching them progress from simple cuttings to mature plants. Growing weed is such a rewarding and enjoyable hobby. I highly recommend people try it for themselves. ๐Ÿ’š

what are the white bits?

New roots emerging from a stem. The picture shows the bottom part of a cutting I took from a mother plant. One of the benefits of photoperiod plants is the option to clone/propagate them from cuttings rather than starting new seeds. It allows you to preserve and continue to grow the same exact same phenotype of a strain when you find one that's special, etc.

Is that why it had to be quarantined?

It was only quarantined in the sense that it was moved from a communal propagation area to its own pot. The title was meant to be silly because I figured most of Lemmy is nerdy enough to have heard of rootkits in the IT world. My rootkit is for gardening lol.

Ahhhh gotcha. Like I told the other user, been a long while since I messed with growing plants. I've heard of rootkits but I'm not tech-savvy enough to know what they do, but enough to know that they'd need to be quarantined.
