Question about clones with long roots

[oglovinlife18]

ok so i just got some og clones in the mail ......i kno im excited to get this one going lol.....but the thing is that the roots are super long and i have to put them in rockwool should i trim the roots down or just stick em in and kinda spiral the roots around will the get root bound if i do this?

 

[mitsu.one]

You can do either,as long as the cut is happy it will keep producing roots...mitsu

 

[oglovinlife18]

what do you mean by happy is it better to cut em tho tho wont get root bound if i just put it in

 

[rounders02]

either way will work in my opinion, i would not worry about rootbound, cause your going to end up planting a pot or growbag etc. but to make it easier to fit them in you can cut them wont hurt them may stall them a bit but wont hurt them...Goodluck...happy growing

thanx guys for the help i think i am just going to leave em i am going to clone em as soon as they get bigger ne way

Not sure why you say that you "have to" put them in rockwool. It's very possible to place rooted clones directly into your medium and they will do just fine without any rockwool.

Here's how I transplanted some Arcata Train Wreck clones this week, hope it helps.

Happy= healthy. I would do the same, plant it, let it grow, take some cuts etc...mitsu

yeah but i use rock wool as my medium and the hydroton would need more watering and it would mak my others not balanced kinda wanted to keep it all the same nice and simple

makes perfectly good sense, I have in the past taken a sharp knife a split a rockwool cube, placed the clone inside then gently tied a string back around it. Just an idea my friend, hope your clone grows strong.

they are doing ok i guess now ...i dont kno about the ppm tho normally i just have it at 1200 wen i get a fresh batch of clonesd this time i dont kno some looked nute burned is this to high?

 

[punkadc]

im no expert, but 1200 ppm seems pretty high for a young clone to me

just my thoughts, i hope you get everyhthing worked out! :)

 

[oglovinlife18]

[TheMadHatter]

[oglovinlife18]

if you don't mind me asking, how do you get clones in the mail? Are they rooted in an aero cloner and them placed in ?? for transport? I always thought the only way to get them was through a club in a state where it is legal or through a friend...didn't know you could mail them reliably...
