Transfering (Please Help)

Hello All....
I can't seem to find it in here... But I have Growing Blocks I got with my hydroponic system and I need to get these plants out of these wak ass Cups...lol.. What is the best method...?... Because it seems like the growing block Holes are pretty small... My plants are about 8 inches and I also heard that they have a really High PH level... How do I tame that down.....? I am really a beginner on this and It seems like Common since to just cut the bottom of the cup out and just shove em in the block (gently) but maybe there is a better method... If ya got the Time... PLease Help...

Take an empty cup like the ones your plants are in to measure size of hole you need to enlarge the one thats existing. Use the cup so it fits snug. Take the rockwool and run good water through it and do this untill the water is the same ph before you run through as it is after going through the block.ph should be between 6 -7.

Don't use tap water ever. Unless you have well water and good ph.

I have big styrofoam cups that are almost as tall as the block itself... Should I cut that Deep....? or just cut it as round... Thanx for the water soaking tip also... Your a huge help already...

I would leave alittle thickness at bottom of block maybe an inch. Are your blocks like 6 inch squares? if so good if they are smaller leave what you can at bottom i wouldn't make hole all the way through.

This might sound Like a stupid question but I do leave them in the Soil then... Or no....? My apologies for the dumb questions but if ya need any software I'm ya man...lol... For real tho...

Im not sure how well it will work with dirt in the rockwool.If you do this make sure the soil has been flushed well of nutes. Soil and rock wool can get saturated with too much nutes so keep this in mind when you water each time. I like to flush every other water change or nute strength change. Or you can get a PPM burn.
