Cuttings and when to pot them after rooting starts

Hey can anyone give me some advice please? I have taken cuttings ten days ago and they have now started to show thick healthy roots. However, I am unsure when to pot them into my coco medium and how much nutrients to give them. I have read on forums that I should feed them quarter strength nutrients.

Ok, Second question can I now place them under my 600 watt light on a 18/6 cycle? I have had them under a clf light on a 24 hour cycle. Some of the leaves have gone yellow is this normal? it's my first time attempting clones and thus far it has been ok.

Any feed back welcome

many first time growers struggle with coir, would recommend 50/50 perlite / vermiculite if this is your first grow.

Hey yeah cheers for replying, it's not my first grow, just my first time with cuttings. I will be putting the cuttings into a 70/30 coco/perlite mix. It's just I don't know when to pot or how to nute them

ok cool great. You can take them out of the tray and put them in the coco and water with 1/4 strength nutes. Put them near the MH for 18/6 now. Then tomorrow move it closer to the MH light so it gets acclimated to the new light and air and is not shocked... good luck!

Hey yeah, will do that tomorrow thanks for the advice. Is it normal for the bottom leafs to be yellowish though? And how long do the clones veg for 8 weeks?
