Whats the best way to transplant from a ez clone to a hydro setup? Is there a way to transplant rooted clones to rockwool cubes?
- Soak block overnight @ pH 5ish to breal in the rockwool. Shake out excess solution.
-Slip plastic sleeve off of the block.
-Using a sharp kitchen knife, make a slit about 2/3 of the way thru the block.
-Pry the block open gently w/ yer fingers and slip the root beard into the slit, gently spreading the roots
-Slip the sleeve back onto the block.
- Repeat until transplanted, irrigate w/ 1/4 strength nutrient ( w/ root stimulator @ full strength if'n yer using one).
Hope this helps.
Have fun.
Thanks, wasn't sure if that would damage the roots too much. Is it best to just make one slit, or an x across the block?
