+1 The longest I've had a clone in a rapid rooter (which yours would need about 1/2" more root growth to explode out the side of the plug) was about 9 days,... (most have been 6-7) after that root growth was explosive under the humidity dome even tho leaf growth was stunted.

Congrats on your success none the less! :thumbsup:


My biggest concern with an aeroponic/wet clone like your doing is the transplant shock into soil...... My wife's basil and 2 newest tomato's were all grown from seed in rockwool by the local hydro store in an areoponic system, and altho the root system was spectacularly hardy the shock of moving into soil stopped all 3 plants growth for better than a week and we lost foliage on all of them from the shock.
