Day 4 after transplanted from soil to current culture under current system, wanted to see if this is. Normal after transplant.

I always humidity dome anything going into DWC that's young. Those in the pic are pretty large though.

Give it some Revive by advanced nutrients and ph it to 5.8

yes. the roots are adapting to hydro. go easy on the nutes until they perk up.

Current culture system? Will you take a few pics of it for me?
Also, are those Gro-Stones in your netpots??

So its not talked about much, but its pretty clear to see that roots grow different in different mediums.
Soil to water seems to have to grow a different type of root out, so the longer you leave it in dirt, the longer itll take for the roots to be "water ready".
Its something ive noticed with my seedlings ive put into the cloner. Any roots they had growing in the trays pretty much just stop growing and new ones start.

Yes grow stones I will take a pic. Tomorrow of the set up

They were 3 weeks old when I transplanted did I wait to long?

 

[Biddy413]

I have the ec set to .2 right now

 

[fragileassassin]

Yes and no.
It makes it much easier to transplant and they take off faster if you wait until the roots will touch the water to put them in the netpots.
Its not ideal do go that long from soil into dwc, this is better done with an aero or bubble cloner.

the longer you wait, then you have more roots which need to "convert" from soil to hydro. so it will take longer before they perk back up.

and yes, the 0.2 should be fine for now. i would bet in maybe 3 or 4 days they will be good to go

Ok thanks for the help I appreciate the input hopefully next round I will be using clones so I will not have to deal with going from soil to water, I will keep u guys updated in the days to come

If you pop seeds in something loose you can pull them up and put them in a cloner at less than a week old and let them grow out a bit from there.
Its been going well for me so far.

Good to know that's a good Idea

 

[Biddy413]

Couple of the worse looking ones and then one that looks like it's doing good.

What do you recommend for popping seeds out in then? I have done soil myself and it is like performing surgery to get them out without damaging the roots

I use trays of coco and perlite.

Use coco. Either one you use, you just gotta get it in to the Aero cloner about a week after it was started in the soil/coco, otherwise, it gets too hard to remove dirt from a too large root mass. Any sooner, there's just not enough roots.

How do you feel about rapid rooters? I got a bag of those to try out, and then I’m assuming once the plant is established I can put the hole plug in a basket with clay pellets around it? That was my thought anyways. I don’t have coco

Nor a aero cloner
