 A few hydro questions...
Hey everyone. As you can see from the pics my Neville's Haze clones are doing well, with roots getting about 1-2". The ph is kept about 6.3-6.5 (and is continually adjusted because rockwool likes to raise it), along with a few drops of Superthrive. The rapid rooter plugs have small roots starting to poke out. The other plants you see are a Neville's Haze mother, a Neville's Haze soil clone that will go into flower soon, and 5 of my soil Chocolate Thai seeds (which are coming along very well).
As you can see from the pics, the clones are in small rockwool cubes in a very small mesh holder. My question is at what length of roots should I transplant to my larger mesh (as seen in 5gal lids in other pic)? Neville's haze takes a long time to finish, so I was told to put rooted clones directly into 12/12. I want to keep the clones in the veg chamber for a little while longer to get them going first of course. Should I take them out of their little mesh pots when I transplant to the large ones with hydroton? (Will this hurt any roots that might grow too big in those little mesh things?) And when I do transplant, should I plant them at the bottom of the big mesh pot so the roots go into the water, or should I put them farther up, so the roots have to grow through the hydroton pellets?
The rapid rooters are not growing as fast as I've heard, and I've also noticed something weird....kinda creeps me out. On the rapid rooter plugs, when I pick them up, little tiny....things....move. They almost look like baby slugs or something. Anyone know what these are/how to get rid of them?
