Hey guys, the roots are just starting to come out of the rockwool cubes (small cubes) some are about 1-2mm some are an inch. What should i do to help develop the roots before i put them into clay pebbles and my bubbler system?

oh yeah and just for joke, the hacked leaf i was using to mark what clones came from what mother rooted 5 days faster than the clones without any treatment :dunce:

That's weird that the leaf rooted. I'd grow it for shits and giggles.

You should show pics of the clones' roots if you wanna know if they are ready to plant.

Not quite there yet, but not much longer. You wanna see roots popping out all over. What about the leaf?

All the leaves are looking good (healthy green, but on a few the older leaves i left are starting to turn yellow and curl.... ? I've tried letting the rockwool dry out a fair bit but not bone dry then giving them a lil dunkin to maybe try and encourage the roots to look for water/feed. Is that safe to do or unnecessary?

I like to keep the rock wool moist at all times, foliar feed at 1/4 strength to supplement.

I mean the single leaf that rooted by itself.. that thing is the show stealer.
