from everything i've read and from my own limited experience i'd say once you see some healthy roots, you're good to go. by 'some' i mean more than a few thin little tendrils, i mean a fair little root mass, and remember, they're a little fragile so handle gently

If you are running in hydroton, first soak it to set the pH to 6.0.
Then, take a big bucket and fill it with room temperature tap water. If you are feeling OCD, set it to 6.0 too lol.
Now fill your net pots with as much hydroton as you will need in your system.
Take the pot of hydroton in one hand and with the other, cradle the clone in your palm so the roots are protected.
Sink the net pot in the bucket, and the hydroton will loosen and float slightly. Now slide the clone beneath the surface of the water, protecting the roots still, and orient it according to the rim of the pot.
Still supporting the clone, by the stem now, slowly lift the net pot with the clone and hydroton in it back out of the tub of water. You probably lost some hydroton but as long as the clone is as deep in the pot as yu wanted it, you can just place the pebbles back in there around it.
Now you're done! You may have to hand water for a few days while the roots get going, depending on your system type.

stinky's method is the way to do it, just remember, you need some roots there, not just a few skinny little tendrils

lol, from what i've seen since i started tracking this forum, she really knows her shit. she also spends a lot of time answering questions for newbies that she must have answered at least 1000 times before so she deserves the credit for patience if nothing else, even if she hasn't noticed me yet.

anyway, thanks for posting. btw, some pics would be nice. lol
