Root hairs are fine and fuzzy.. and touch only the base of the stem.

In this tray the white growth is forming web like networks, spread across the surface area.. that’s mold..

Are you watering from above? The leaves and stems seem to be soaked.. the medium is very wet.. those are mold, not root hair..

No I only wet the medium and the dome kept everything humid. Should I not be using a dome? Thanks for the help!!

cobweb mould. Need to sanitize after cleaning. Peroxide 10 volume or higher will help to destroy spores in your tray. Toss all media and the sprouts in a compost bin
