or coco
so it is okay to leave her roots exposed and drying? this seems like an advanced method and im afraid of screwing it up big time...FYI this is my first grow too
i may have to do that going forward if this is the result :/

imo, you should of watered more than just two cups of water.
i was afraid of overwatering and causing root rot

as long as you keep the cube wet, it's fine.
just so i am clear: dig her up, rinse the rockwool with water (im assuming the rockwool will be drenched at this point) and then sit her in a solo cup to dry and see if she perks back up?

yep, that's it, but be careful not to tug on the roots

transplanting into dry soil is never good. you should moisten the soil before you transplant and water the plant in afterward. for a 3 gallon grow bag i usually use about 1.5 gallons of water at transplant.

How Do I Transplant Marijuana for Faster Growth? | Grow Weed Easy
Did you know that transplanting your cannabis at just the right time will actually make your plants to grow faster? Luckily transplanting is easy with a little planning, and only take a few minutes!

"
- Water your cannabis plants 1-2 days before transplanting. This will help the growing medium stay together (since it’s moist), but still slide out easily (since it’s not soaking wet).
- Before you get started, fill your new pot with potting mix. Don’t fill the pot to the top, instead leave about 2 extra inches (5 cm). That way you can easily water the plant without all the water running off the sides.
- Water this new container of potting mix before you begin the transplant so it’s nice and moist. If you don’t water the new soil first, it can have a hard time absorbing water after the transplant, and your roots won’t like that!
- Since you will soon be adding a new plant, you want to dig out a hole in the middle that’s about the size of your old container.
- Take your plant, and carefully slide a butter knife inside the container all around the edges to help separate the rootball from the sides of the pot. Avoid grabbing the plant directly by the stem. Try to grab the whole top with a flat hand, and turn the container upside down so you can gently pat the rootball out and catch it with your flat hand. You may have to gently pull the plant out of the container, but go slowly and be gentle!
- Plant the rootball directly into the new container, placing it in the hole you dug out earlier. You may need to add some extra soil to ensure a nice flat topsoil.

That's what I told him yesterday.
thanks for all the responses and suggestions! really appreciating the feedback. yah i decided to go against taking her out of the soil since shes already in. i noticed some of her leaves are browning and dying so this go along with suggestions that i should water her...i gave her 1 gal of water...hopefully this does the trick...good amount of runoff came out

And listen...if it doesn't end well, look at what you've learned, what you'll be able to share with someone starting out like yourself years from now and how much better of a grower you're going to be on the next go round. Find your silver lining if need be....good luck.

I flush lots of water through fresh FFOF if I'm gonna transplant a clone into it. I fill the pot with fresh FFOF and then water until the runoff starts looking more clear. At first it will be dark brown and loaded with available nutrients which is way too much for a new clone.
