after clones give roots in rockwool propagation medium, can we place the rockwool clones in organic soil or is it valid only for hydroponics?

thanks
 
you'd be nuts to try and remove the rockwool from the roots. you'd only do damage. i plant it (rockwool and all) in soil.
 
Don't remove rock wool just place in soil and cover roots and make sure it ahs good contact with dirt and is in place firmly

i didn't see it anywhere but i'm assuming he has clones, is a newbie, and doesn't know what to do with em. also, from the structure of the question, it's implied that if it's not good for soil, he was going to remove them, but i'm also high and might be over thinking it. :D
 
thats understandable i assumed he knew better then to try to remove them from RW
but if he doesnt im sure it is clear now

after inserting cuttings in cloning gel, to clone it i need a humid box to place rockwools in spots with an extra tray with half-full water and spray them once or twice a day to keep them humid or wet. . .
any extra information, equipment or must u can suggest?

it says "Grodan RockWool " in the order site. but i cant see it on the product.. lets say it is grodan. so have u ever heard of it?
and also says: "no need to fix ph. we already stabilized it for you"
 
Grodan is what I use- they are the leading brand of rockwool. No matter if they are the plugs or cubes, I will always soak them for 24 hours in pH 5.5 solution.

PS- Before you ask- no, the plant in my avatar isn't mine. It is from the intertubes.
 
shi* then i should buy a solution too. it is another bothering new experience for me now. oh god...
1st i need to find a solution then learn how to soak and make it. but i guess that is the last step i should learn.
 
same as i got but i looked at their site and i dont see any product they sell preconditioned and i wouldnt take chances
precondition for 24 hours in water and use lemon juice to lower ph

No, don't do that unless you just want to throw money away. What I will do is pH adjust water or nutrient solution down to 5.5. You can buy the stuff if you want, but there is no need. A pH of 5.5 will disolve any lime that has built up in the rockwool because of the manufacturing process. Sorry for not clarifying that earlier.
 
yes dont waste money use a teaspoon of lemon juice per gallon to lower it one level
it recommends in their booklet which i got right in front of me to squeeze half a lemon to lower a gallon one level
