you'd be nuts to try and remove the rockwool from the roots. you'd only do damage. i plant it (rockwool and all) in soil.

Clones in rockwool can be transferred to any other type of media without issue.

i didn't see it anywhere but i'm assuming he has clones, is a newbie, and doesn't know what to do with em. also, from the structure of the question, it's implied that if it's not good for soil, he was going to remove them, but i'm also high and might be over thinking it.

Grodan is what I use- they are the leading brand of rockwool. No matter if they are the plugs or cubes, I will always soak them for 24 hours in pH 5.5 solution.
PS- Before you ask- no, the plant in my avatar isn't mine. It is from the intertubes.

shi* then i should buy a solution too. it is another bothering new experience for me now. oh god...
1st i need to find a solution then learn how to soak and make it. but i guess that is the last step i should learn.

No, don't do that unless you just want to throw money away. What I will do is pH adjust water or nutrient solution down to 5.5. You can buy the stuff if you want, but there is no need. A pH of 5.5 will disolve any lime that has built up in the rockwool because of the manufacturing process. Sorry for not clarifying that earlier.
