[quote=ThePinkJina]Graduated Transplant: I would start the clones indoors in a 16oz SOLO cup, after she becomes root-bound, transplant to a 1 gal pot. After she is root-bound in the 1 gal she is ready to graduate to a larger 3 gal pot. After she becomes root-bound in a 3 gal pot its safe to put into the earth. The hole in the ground should be at the very least, the diameter and depth of a 5 gallon bucket.

Start with supplemental lighting because that's the way the club/dizz has them. Transition them between a window sill and CFL for a few hours a day for about a week and the you should be fine with normal sunlight after that first week.

As for the nutrients, if you are going to be using FFOF it has every nutrient you need in it. You wont need nutes for about 3 to 4 weeks after you put her into the earth. This means thru the entire veg cycle, transplants and all. If you want a simple and easy to use nutrient regimen, I suggest TechnaFlora's Recipe for Success Starter Kit. It has an easy to understand mixing guide and every nutrient you need to grow a beautiful green beast.
And if you want an all-in-one try General Hydroponics FloraNova series.


How long should it take to rootbound in the solo cup?

Any recommendation on wattage for CFLs, do you mean switch a few hours under light, few hours in windowsill, back and forth for first week? What about at night, do I just let the little babies chill, or keep them under light?

Any idea about how long from start of this process until it would be ready to put in the earth. The sun has arrived!, from about 7am to 7 pm where I am. Is this too much sun after the week of alternate cfl/windowsill? Can i tell the plants are rootbound by looking at bottom of pot? if I see roots its rootbound yeah? ( I know, I know this stuff is all basic 101, thanks for your patience)

Have multiple sites, each hole will be 2x2, chicken wire around it.
Alother noob question: should I treat the plant, or its roots with anything when transplanting from cup to bucket, bucket to bucket or bucket to earth? I read on another thread someone had successfully transplanted with Mycorrhizae? I think it is applied to roots?

Will be feeding nutes with water, 1 gal twice weekly, but will wait 3 to 4 weeks after I put in earth.
WOW thanks for taking the time to help an incredibly stupid man like me
Any more advice would be so wonderfully appreciated. Thanks Pink!
