Looking for advise..i have some clones that have shot out some badass roots and I'm looking to transplant

16oz solo cup
Promix hp
Remo nutrients- grow. Micro. Velokelp. Magnifical. Nature's candy. Bloom. Astro flower
Clones in small grodan cubes

So what I mainly want to know is should I use plain ph d water or a low nute solution to give these girls the best start I can thanks a bunch everyone

Do you have a picture of the clones? Depending on the size I'd suggest a very low concentration nutrient solution just to get them going, but overall I wouldn't really bother with the nutrients until they are transplanted out of the cubes.

See personally with those looking like that I'd be banging them straight into their final containers, sod the cups. I have never been one for re-potting beyond seeding/clone transplant the one time. I just don't see the benefit to continued re-potting and the often extra risk of stress and stunted growth.

At that point I expect they can take nutes reasonably well without burning up.

What's the rationale for putting them into cups as opposed to their final containers (assuming you are not on hydro?)

Well need smaller cups..still have a couple weeks of flower before the tent is available and still waiting on a bunch of clones to root of another strain...was hoping to get them into solo cups and leave in the tray with the others inside the dome until the roots pop on those as I don't have a whole lot of room under the led light I'm using to clone

Yes, wet the soil and root area with a weak nutrient solution (1/4 regular strength), preferably one not too high in N, with more emphasis of P and K such as a flowering nutrient.

How light are we talking? I have a batch mixed at around 350ppm right now....also what ph do you recommend...i usually water at 5.8-6 But these have been living on 5.5 since cutting
