soil to water

Hello All,
Can anyone assist in how I take my 3 week old out of soil and into the hydro sys. Do I Place it in rockwool and then rocks? How do I place it in the wool, then rocks? I appreciate any help. Wish you all a glorious grow. :o

Personally, I would skip the rockwool. Get a nice net pot cut a few holes through the net to make them bigger and lightly and gently pull the roots through...I have done this with clones and cut a hole in the center of the net pot and fed the roots through that way. Then fill in the gaps with Hydroton clay pellets.

Hope this helps...

What is the reason for switching over if you don't mind me asking...?

if you don't have to switch then dont

you should clone your plant and start the clones in your hydro system.. they will only take a week to root..

Willybblue- you succesfully transplanted from soil to hydro? wow ... kudos.. that takes balls : )

Excellent advice, I tried a couple of times when I was switching to DWC and failed miserably.

However, I have taken aero clones and put them in net pots (with lots of roots and just skipped the rockwool all together)...thought if Rooisme absolutely had to switch, that he/she may want to use that method and skip the rockwool...

That is why I asked why he/she was doing it...it does take balls...

is DWC the same as the bubbler system?

Yes.

i soak the seeds in water for 2 days then plant the seeds in soil.
a week after they pop , i move them to an aeroponic cloner, yes , from soil to hydro, i've never had any die doing it this way. ya just have to be careful not to break off any roots. i cut the rock wool cubes in half and gently place the rooted seed in it. any roots that stick out i put through the net pots openings.
peace

I'm thinking that a 3 week old plant would be significantly more difficult than a 2 day old seedling. I thought we were talking about plants that have already established themselves in soil.
Personally I just place the seeds on a wet paper towel, pop it in a ziplock and then skip the whole soil thing (kiss) and place the seedling in a rock wool plug. Hasn't failed me yet! Good Luck
