BUMP, has any one used these soiless plugs for cloning? i just want to know if you soak them first in 5.5phwater like rockwool, before cloning/cutting. it didn't come with instructions. i think you just stick the cutting in the plug, because they are already moist, i just don't know the natural ph of the cubes. the hydro shop aint open till tomorrow!
thanks dude, just checking if the ph of soiless was off, but it seems like it's neutral. i just cut, this is my second time. 1st time i used rockwool, but it took almost a month to root. i think it's because the RW was intially too soaked. this time i didn't soak them at all, i just sprayed them with 6.3ph superthrived water after i stuck them in the plugs. i use dyna grow gel for the root hormone. this time around i added a heat pad. let's see how long it takes last time, i had 100% sucess, just took a long time.I soak them in RO water for a few minutes, not sure if it needs to be done but I always get roots in 7-10 days.
good luck man, post any questions/pics on here, ill help if i can.I actually am using Rapid Rooters I bought at the growshop today and the gentleman gave me directions to give them a quick dip in water. He also said to take any unused plugs, bag them and put them in the freezer. I have never done this myself and will be wensday nite, good luck
