cuttings starting to root.. now what?

[chilledreaper]

Hey guys, the roots are just starting to come out of the rockwool cubes (small cubes) some are about 1-2mm some are an inch. What should i do to help develop the roots before i put them into clay pebbles and my bubbler system?

oh yeah and just for joke, the hacked leaf i was using to mark what clones came from what mother rooted 5 days faster than the clones without any treatment

That's weird that the leaf rooted. I'd grow it for shits and giggles.

You should show pics of the clones' roots if you wanna know if they are ready to plant.

Hehe been thinking about it. I'll get some pics of the roots later gotta goto work now, tanks for the quick replys.

You should let the roots grow for a couple more days. You want strong, long roots.

These are the 4 best, others only have tiny roots or maybe 1 small root coming out. btw theyre 3 weeks old and been in a heated prop with a 22w sunblaster on 24/7 kept moist. If im doing anything wrong please let me know, thnx ppl.

Not quite there yet, but not much longer. You wanna see roots popping out all over. What about the leaf?

All the leaves are looking good (healthy green, but on a few the older leaves i left are starting to turn yellow and curl.... ? I've tried letting the rockwool dry out a fair bit but not bone dry then giving them a lil dunkin to maybe try and encourage the roots to look for water/feed. Is that safe to do or unnecessary?

I like to keep the rock wool moist at all times, foliar feed at 1/4 strength to supplement.

I mean the single leaf that rooted by itself.. that thing is the show stealer.

hehe, its going well. I think too much light is getting to it though, some of the roots are going a lil brown

 

[ReelFiles]

Oh no.. save her quick!

ya man, shouldn't have the lights on 24/7 when rooting, should be 18/6, roots like dark to grow

 

[ReelFiles]

There is no proof of that. I use 24/0 exclusively.

 

[chilledreaper]

I'll cover the cubes with a bit of foil I think to try and keep the root in the dark... In theory it should work

 

[ReelFiles]

Yeah you wanna keep the roots in the dark at all times.
