Clones -- What should I do?

I just picked up three clones (Chemdog '91, Do-Si-Dos, Bubble Chem), and they are all in rapid rooters with the roots just breaking through the cube. I picked up a clone before and it was in a solo cup with lots of roots, and I was kind of expecting the same thing this time around.. guess not. I was hoping to transplant each clone into it's own 5gal dwc bucket, however, with the clones only being freshly rooted, should I put them in their own buckets, or fire up the cloner and let them set in there for a week until more roots have been established?

Also, anyone happen to run any of these 3 strains? I figure that I should be okay with the chem and do-si-dos since they are popular, but I can't find much on this "Bubble Chem", and it's making me feel a bit bad about the purchase.

I don't grow in soil ,if it was me they would go in there own pots so there roots can continue to grow and spread out through the soil

Are you using hydroton? Just put them in their own DWC and top water until the roots grow through the bottom of the net pots. Then go from there. I wouldn't put those in a cloner. Let the roots grow into their new home.

Yeah, I'm using hydroton.. how long do you figure I'll have to top water them? Also, would I be good to mix the nutes and water, have it bubbling already, and then just open the lid, and grab a scoop or two of water to top feed?

You will have to keep checking on them until your roots hit the nutes,I use pump & feed lines top feed 24/7 at all stages of growth

Top water until the roots hit the water. Don't feed full strength. 1/4 strength for a week or so then start bumping up. Good luck.

If you put it in a 5gal you might have to top water until the roots get longer. If you have a cloner, it might help to have the small mini step to get the roots going.

If you don't have a cloner, you can always put it into a solo-cup of soil, or perlite (look at Hempy-Bucket). It's easy to wash away perlite, once the roots grow down into it some more.

Thanks for the help guys! I just put the ladies under the 4foot 2 lamp t5ho.. might move to the 315w within the next day or two depending on results.

Anyone happen to find any information out about the "Bubble Chem"? Makes me feel like I tossed $50 at nothing...
