Tranplanting rooted clones in Soil or Rockwool
Good day people!
I was wondering if it would be much of a time saver to transplant a rooted clone straight into soil, rather than putting it into rockwool and then transplant. It wouldn't have to go through the pH fluxes with rockwool, and I imagine it would transplant faster into soil because it doesn't have to go through pH changes. The only thing is, it looks weird sticking a rooted clone into soil itself, doesn't look stable, lol. I bet people have done this before, any ideas?
Mucho Thanks,
Danksy

Yes this is what i found hope it helps
If you allow the clone to develop the long water roots it will not adjust very fast and stall for about a week or more, so transplant them at or before they are 1/2" to 3/4" long. The drying down from soaking wet soil drench will encourage great rooting into the soil. Use a weak high P fertilizer, preferably with b1 or with superthrive to really get the root system established into the soil. After you're seeing new growth you can switch them over to weak High N ferts...but be carefull about increasing the nute strength at first, you dont want to fry the newly developing root systems.

Wow, this sounds kinda tricky. I normally water only after transplanting with rockwool, this time it seems like I'm gonna have to feed first. I think I'm just gonna do 1/4 nute strength feed for soil transplant. I think adding b-52 or more supplements would over supplement it, no?

Wouldnt a rooted clone already be in some sort of medium?

I would think so I would just do 1/4 nute to start with and then just build it up.

You would think so!
If the OP is talked about an unrooted clone (a cutting), then straight into soil is not a good idea. No many bacteria to potentially cause rot to the open wound (where it is cut) before it heals and roots.

^^^ Its from an Easy Bubbler cloner, it roots hydroponically. So I have the option of putting it into a soil medium or rockwool

^^ Do you know if they root as fast as rockwool?

ok. this is my 100% (if any dies, its my fault, not the process). beer cups, or 3" pots. moisten soil to dripping in container. this, way, we dont need to "water them in" and rinse off most or all of whatever root compound we like. i have used some. the one i like, is liquid. you dip the cutting in it for 5 or 6 seconds, then in the cups that are now full of the wet soil, and a small hole to slide the cutting into. gently press around clone. mist. put in your dome with a heating pad down. then one layer of bath towel, then tray. keep mostly covered and misted ounce a day for 4 days. then no more mist. u should not have to water for a long time. and thats fine. anyway, the product is called vita-grow. dip and grow is the same stuff, but you need to cut that with water. but i like this stuff alot. so. now you have clones that are happy where they are, until u water, and transplant them! and i have most 100% survival. i also almost forgot. i have a small cfl over them, on a 18/6 timer. the roots grow tward the slight heat. lol. i love this way. cuts the steps. and the plants are saying "purrfect!" oh. currently i have 3 bcgod clones and 3 chemdawgs. usually, between 3 and 4 weeks, they get moved to ones.
justice.
