How do I put it into rockwool or a diff medium that can be grown in water? ----One idea is below....

Can I just drop my tiny dirt cube right into the bigger rockwool cube? ----No....well you could but I don't think it would be the best way to go....

Or do I need to get a clone that's already in rockwool? ----It's up to you....if you don't like what I would do....

Help me out here, Im super stoked to get started! ----Ready to get your hands dirty???

What you need to do is massage all the soil off the roots and then place the clones root zone into the net pot....then cover the roots with clay pebbles and it should take off.... It will probably stress for a day or so but will likely take off soon after.... A seperate bucket full of water will make it easier to remove the soil from the roots.... Just dunk the roots, soil and all....then massage off the soil.... Might have to trim, if soil matter is stuck in the roots....

But before you put your lil one in your bucket - Have you done a Hydro checklist??? To make sure you have all your bases covered, like macro and micro nutes, pH testing/adjusting supplies, tds meter, proper water source??? I just want to ask because I would hate for you to have probs and think hydro is too hard or a waste of time....because Hydro is a whole nother beast....and way less forgiving than soil....
