I want to transplant my young plants..3 weeks in veg..into Atami Bcuzz Roxx's similar to Rockwool, as I am now going hydro :)

I do have some that I am keeping in soil, but also others that i want to transplant into the blocks to grow with some others i STARTED in blocks.

Help?

soak your wool in 5.5 ph water to bring down wools ph and split in half vertically wash ALL Soil off your young plants gently and put between wool halves tuck em in and spiral em up if nessesary important thing is t keep em away from light if yu want you can trim the tip of the taproot to promote root branching tie up with a little kitchen string and keep MOIST not soaking try to water from the bottom of the cube ie dip lower half of cube in ph 5.8 plain water or very mild nutrient solution for 5 seconds to promote downward root growth wait till roots are showing through and transplant to your hydro setup

ive done this with a few bagseed i was experimenting with and seemed to work after being started in seedling mix i had laying about i transplanted when seedlings had about 3 - 5sets of true leaves not including cotyledons seemed to not hurt em at all

ONE question... Soak then split? or Split then soak?

I would think splitting after the soak would be difficult...
