Prune roots on clones?

[EvilCartman]

I've been kinda busy...:rolleyes:

Have some clones that have been in a bubble-cloner for a bit longer than planned. Clones are Reserva Privada "Kandy Kush", they push out some rather delicate roots that really take-off when they reach the water. Some of the darn things are a foot long and it seems silly to coil 'em up in the (16 oz) cup when I go to transplant them.
I'm planning to trim them back to just a couple inches long. Is it better to just let 'em be? I'm not overly concerned with slowing them down, if that's the only drawback to trimming. I was just wondering if you've ever run into this. What do you do? :weedpoke:

Would you walk well if someone cut off your longer toes? After awhile yes.

I never trim roots on a young clone. Ever. I try really hard not to bend, fold, spindle or mutilate 'em.
Unless you have a specific goal in mind, you don't want to stress them into doing something drastic. Stuff like stunting, dying...

Thanks, but... you sound like my bookie. :D

Thanks, I'll go that route as best I can. There will certainly be some bending, folding, and mutilating involved. (dunno about the spindling)
I'll hack one of 'em, and name it Gimpy, to see how badly she fares. :)
