clones in rock wool

heya guys need some of that pro rollitup advice lol i got 4 clones from a breeder but i wanna run in a nft they have rooted about 4 weeks in thru rock wool and now want to cut the rockwool away but roots are in the way think it will be safe just to run nft with the cubes or cut them away mind u my nft wells are deep so half the cube is going to be affect by the water peace

Should be fine when they get bigger but the cube will be pretty wet for a real small plant with just 1 or 2 small roots sticking out of the cube. If it has lots of roots it should be fine.

I would really be tempted to cut them and re-root them personally. Rockwool absorbs tons of water.

Nope, I've done similar with 3 and 4 inch cubes. They won't fall apart from my experience. If exposed to light algae will grow on them. It never bothered my grow though.

ahh sweeet breaking up is my worry i have done flood tables with them but never nft thought the flow may break them apart cool thanks for the advice mate

Well if the roots are clearly through the rockwool, I dont see why you shouldnt let the block remain, and set them in the nft system maybe even as mentioned with a bigger blocks,..
