I am pretty positive you can put them directly in the coco. The rock wool is nice cause you can see when they root but you just have to watch for new growth in the coco.

Best of luck to you.

the clones are 2 days old, in rockwool ater dipping in rooting hormone for 30 seconds, slpit the cutting in half at the 45 degree cut, placed them in the soloution at 2.5ml (house and garden) and rootX. the cunes are about 1 inch sq, maybe 1.5. they are in a dome and the dome is spayed for humididty.

should the cubes ever get dry or constantyl moist? thanks for the help, first time with these girls and stoked to have em.

the cuttings range from 3 to 5 inches....they have stopped the droop read about and are getting straight. under flouros...blue / green spectrum.....kinda, ya know..

thanks again, please, keep this going, as said its all new and hard to find credible info.....

You know I think I can help you out. I just took cuttings myself actually on the 13th. I took a total of 12 clones ranging anywhere from 4-6 inch tall. They were put into rockwol cubes and I keep the cubes moist at all times not drenched. If you drench them it will take much longer for them to root due to lack of oxygen, maybe even die out if its real bad. Keep that environment at around 90% humidity or just do what I do spray the crap out of my dome and cuttings every 2-4 hours depending how fast the dome dries and how much air flow you have going in and out. I will post some stuff up about my clones over on my thread if you wanna check it out. Should be up by tomorrow.

Happy Growings to you!
