I too have a question regarding hydroponic grows.
If I was to take clones from a mother plant (which from the beginning has been growing in soil) and place them in rockwool would there be any effects negative or otherwise in anyway? By the way I plan to use AL B Fucts "GET A HARVEST EVERY 2 WEEKS" method.

No.

It is bad to have roots exposed to light.
You will end up with a lot of algae
and that will deplete the oxygen.

Hi Earl havnt seen your avatar in a while. About my question I didnt mean if I were to place the mother plant in rockwool from soil but to take cuttings & then place those cuttings in rockwool would that be ok? Im thinking all that time the entire plant has been getting used to the soil & suddenly it get cut & is placed in a hydro setup could that possibly stunt, shock the cutting?

i dont use any nutes for the first 2 weeks.then i give a little.after 3 weeks to a month i go ALL OUT.the OPTIMUM PH BALENCE IS 5.8.ur safe from 5.5 to 6.3 an 6.3 might be pushin it.depends on ow ur plant likes the food
