ok so i had the cuttings on a heatpad in a dome for like 10 days till some started getting roots.. (not all of them showed roots so im goin to give the other ones like 2 more days before i transfer) but my question is... now that they've rooted i got a small ebb and flow setup with t5 floro lights that i want to put the cuttings under 24/0 light schedule and feed them 1/4 strength nutes.. the past few days ive been feeding them by hand like turning the pump on and shit just liek once or twice a day.. is that enough? should i feed them more? how long do i have to keep them under teh t5's and under 1/4 strength nutes till i can put them in my veg or blooming setups?

What medium are they rooted in? I am assuming rockwool or hydroton b/c you have them in ebb and flow. What kind of nutes are you using? When then have roots, put them in a bigger cube or some more hydroton and start feeding them 1-1-1. 1/4 strength nutes is too low for rooted clones. If you want to be really careful, try .75-.75-.75. Peace.

they are in rapid rooter cubes then im putting them in hydroton and leaving the rapid rooters.. im using genhydroponics 3 part nutes..

my question was again how often i should be feeding them if they only have a taproot and a few lil roots comin out of them

Why not just use the GH suggested feeding schedule? Which is, 200-400 ppm.

How often? I have an ebb and flow table and feed mine 5 times a day. But the bottom line is - dont let them dry out. Put them in the hydroton and feed them 2 or 3 times when the light is on and 1 or 2 times with the light off.

Put them in the hydroton and feed them 2 or 3 times when the light is on and 1 or 2 times with the light off. Also - when I say 1-1-1 I am talking 5ml-5ml-5ml for GH. I cant see your clones though (no pics) - maybe you want to keep it at 2.5-2.5-2.5 (mls) per gallon for the first week and see how sensitive they are. The GH schedule is ok but I dont like all the nitrogen they want you to use. You dont even need GHgrow after the first week or two of veg. Check out the lucas method in the comprehensive FAQ under hydroponics - this is kindof what I use. Also - latewood has a good method on nutes if you want big plants and you can look him up on here. Different nute formulas are there for different styles of growing depending on what you want the plants to do.
