First Grow may need help along the way
Hiya all been a while so I thought I would get started growin. I just started germinating some Maroc x Afghan strains today and pretty optimistic about it so far. When they sprout im gonna put them in small rockwool cubes and place them under my 48in flourescents until they get a good root system going and placed in bigger blocks.
When would be a good time to transplant the sprouts into my non recirculating waterfarms after 2 weeks or after the 3rd nodes appear. Also I keep hearing that you have to use either 1/4 strength or 1/2 strength its confusing me and the help is appreciated.
sorry about the reposting but like a noob I messed up and put it in the wrong board.

Sorry nobody answered before now. I've been away awhile. Not sure if you still need help, but..
Here's what I do. Once my cuttings get some decent roots (2 or 3 inches worth) I take them out of the cloner and put them (gently) directly into net pots with clay pellets. The pots go into my NFT/drip system, probably at about 12 or 15 days old. Nutrients 1/4 strength the first week, 1/2 strength the second week, then full on feeding. Make sure you keep the light a couple feet back the first day, then gradually move it until it's as close as possible without harming the plants.
Hope that helps a little.

You can place them in your waterfarm anytime. I put clones directly into bubblers all the time, seedlings too...they LOVE It!
Do Not use any nutes, until your seedlings have 4-5 alternating nodes. this means they are growing and have established a big enough root system. then you can start with 50% nutes strength for 1st week...full nutes after that.
Clones are a little different, because they take on the maturity of the mother.
