rockwool question

crickitmd · #1 10-10-2006, 11:35 PM

if you have a plant rooted in some rockwool, can you transplant to soil? or if you start with rockwool you have to finish?

YES you can plant it in SOIL.. I recommend it!

You leave it (the rooted plant/seedling) in the rockwool..

You just stick the rockwool in the soil..

I thought it would be best if I clarified that point.. LOL

cheers

Why would you want to do that? Don't you know that soil has parasites, bad Ph, and clays that harm your plants and it's root systems. Sure you can grow in soil, but your plants will never reach it's maximum potential. Rockwool is better than soil, but hydro machines are even better! I grow in rockwool and I also use hydro systems. I started off growing in soil, then went to Rockwool, then hydro system. Out of the three hydro is the best, then rockwool, then soil.

Just as a note, I've been growing for better than 20 years and have the best success with hydro machines. Which by the way are very easy to make at home with a few items from places like home depot or Lowe's.

Don't rush the geezer. You've been doing it 20 years and you started just like he did. He's aware of hydro', just feels more comfortable with soil at the mo'. You can get good results out of soil too and it's better for amateurs because you have less chance of your crop failing if you make a mistake.

no shit. thats like learning how to crawl as your dad takes the training whels off your bike. soil has its benefits too. way fuckin easier for one. in soil if you add too much of something, youll find out before its too late. with hysro, if you fuck up youll see the damage within minutes
