light to the roots

.........you cant be serious, but then again those plants/clones looks pretty hammered. You do not want light hitting the roots. They look way too wet. That rockwool is definately tooooooo wet and your asking for nothing but problems leaving those little cubes exposed like that. You just want the cubes damp not heavy with water--and surely dont squeese them out like a sponge.
Are you going to all soil or hydro or both? Read Al B.'s https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/15030-batch-clones-rockwool.html.

Is that moss starting on top of your medium in the cups??

Good Luck and Happy Growin!

Aside from drowning them you also need a humidity dome. Those are some sick sick sick looking clones.
I never saw that link before growinman, looks like a nice one for him to follow.

I read a tutorial in the growfaq i think that Suggested putting clones in clear cups to see root develpment. Could be wrong. I know it isn't good for them once they get going. But yea, waaayyy to wet.

thanks this is the first time with the clear cups. did not do it on purpose i realized what i was asking and thought i would ask a ? i was pretty sure i new but again a dumb ? is the ? not asked. and about the cubes, i have them sitting in water with the lid on. i have tried with out the water and had bad results. this seems to work a lot better roots in 5 to 7 days. i will be transplanting to regular pot tomorrow. thanks again for the help

I do my clones exactly like you have them sitting in water but i have a airstone in it also just keep an eye on ur PH becuase rockwool does crazy things to ph in water.

you can always duct tape around the clear cups so that the roots won't be exposed to direct light. to me that's a very easy fix instead of replanting them again this early.

I was thinking the same thing.....but figured they might be well rooted already.

i put my plants into clear cups than put the clear cups into a dark cup so i can pull them out and check on the roots if i want.
