Transplanting Rock Wool into Soil

5 days ago I got 2 clones of super skunk. They were in a large rock wool block (about 5 x 5 x 5 inches ). They're under a 250 hps (don't have any cfls for vegging) . I was told that I could put them immediately into the pots, but now I'm seeing conflicting information on this. They seem to be doing well, growing fast, and I have a lot of ventilation so I can keep them about 15 inches from the bulb. So what do you all think. Can rock wool be transplanted directly into your soil mix (My soil mix is 2 parts soil, 1 part perlite, .5 part sand).

heres an image of one of the girls.

As long as the plants grow healthy you can do whatever you want

Yes you can
I freshly cut clones into rockwool when they root I put them into my soil pots when no problems

You sure can. I do it all the time.

cool. I was just watching Jorge Cervantes "ultimate grow" dvd and during the transplanting clones section he mentions that you should always transplant into the same medium. Basically just freaked me out for a second (as I'm sure most noobs are easily skittish cheers for the info.

Hey, I just joined the forum. Great Sharing!
I plant rockwool directly into soil and get great results. I have noticed that my clones don't need to be watered as often as they would if planted directly into medium, because rockwool retains water well, so if your not careful you can over water for your first 3 or 4 feeds or until your roots out grow the rockwool. Has anyone else noticed this in their rooms?

your good br0

Thank you for posting this thread. I just transplanted into soil and started worrying about it, and as you said Zhuleni, I am just a little skittish. I've grown lots of other plants, but I wasn't even sure what Rockwool was. I feel better now.
