Quick answer would be good(dont mean to be rude)

Hi people, Cloned my AK in 1 inch rockwool cubes..got roots and im gonna put a couple in soil for a couple of mothers...When can i pot them as i said ive got roots coming out of the bottom of the cubes so is that ok to pot them now
and can i give them a little fert?
thanks in advance..

yes (quick enough? lol)

Fair enough lol

I would hold off on the ferts for a couple weeks. Let the plant get a bit stronger.

cheers and what about repotting them into soil let them grow a bit more or do it now??

soil NOW...
POON now...

ferts later...

Add perlite to your soil..

cheers

i disagree you should start with a very very weak solution.this way when you feed full strength it wont shock your babies.theres something on the market called FORMULEX.it is especially designed for seedlings and young plants.good luck

Cheers people for advice..So im gonna repot a couple of ma clones into soil now as Known said, im using biobizz All mix and it already has perlite in with it so i shouldnt need to mix any more with that should i?....just 1 more thing...

Having never used soil as im a hydro man....is it a good idea to get the soil in the pot and is it a good wetting the it before i put the clones in?

Garden why do you always put iloveyou in you shit??? lol

You don't need to add any more perlite if all-mix already has it in and definitely don't add any more fertiliser at this stage, all-mix has all the nutrients the plants needs for early growth and you'll burn it if you add any more at this stage. I'm surprised you're using all-mix for cuttings as Bio-Bizz propagating all-mix is better suited to clones and seedlings.

Regarding watering, it's worth putting the all-mix soil into a bowl and breaking it up with your hands and generally aerating and sieving it before adding water and working the soil till its moist and sticks together - then put it in the pot and pot the clone, but don't add any more water. This helps to ensure all the soil is moist and watered and you don't get any dry areas or air pockets.

Thankyou..

I can't belive you went straight to hydro without trying soil first...anyway good luck

I usually like to break my soil up and put my clone in, then i water the clone in.

perlite is great for beginners and people who like to water a lot.. It makes it very easy to avoid over watering.. adding extra perlite also make FLUSHING very easy.. just incase somebody over FEEDS the plants.. LOL


BUD BUD... i agree about starting with a very light/diluted nutrient solution and increasing slowly.... I would just wait a few days..


ILOVEYOU...

once one has a minor glimpse of the world without the interference of the mind, it is all LOVE...

Cheers all for the advice.. the clones are in...Blowback i already had a really good hydro grow..with a lot of help from the guvnors in here...Soil v messy and my mates that grow in soil cant seem to get the results i do in the same amount of time..there thinking about changing to hydro..
"one mans wine" and all that.. thanks for the luck anyway ill save it...cant ever have enough lol..
