Preventive maint....Culling from DWC

How would one cull 6 plants from 10 that have all grown in the same vegitative res? I know all of the root mass can/will grow together like dred locks....Can you like give the root mass a chop with the scissors, to pull each net pot from the "veg res", then transplant to a "flower res" ?? What about the possible males that pop up?? How would you cull them with out screwing up your ph with dead veg matter? Anyone have a suggestion???

Imagine this.......




But filled with month old DWC plants.....

I want to pull them out, put them in a Flower room, and use this same set up with clones from the culled ones going into flower room....


Will there be too much shock at such a critical time to do this...or should I just move each res instead of each individual pot???

You can cut some roots off the plants that will stay in order to get all the others out. The important thing is to only leave the roots of living plants behind. A flush is a good idea after you have done this.

I'd recommend purchasing some cannazym too; it breaks dead plant matter down into a form which can be reabsorbed by the plants - thus keeping your res nice n clean.
