Hey all BB users!
I realize there are Cab groups, scrog groups... but is there a Bio-bucket group??
I'm curious if there are other BB growers that don't use Oasis Cubes and put there clone straight into lava rocks....? I ask as my local stores stopped selling Oasis Cubes and I didn't pick up any extra the first time around.. I know BT says he uses them, but I'm running out of ideas....

I'd go straight from aero-cloner to BioBuckets when I was running them, no problems. Make sure you keep the stem above the water level (any roots above the water line will still thrive, from the humidity in the rocks). Allow your clones to grow nice long roots, then put the roots in the water, and gently drop the lava rocks in, trying not to damage the roots too much. You might need to use a bit more lava rock to support the clone properly, but they tend to "lock" together quite nicely. I use the 6" netpot-lid combo, they work very well.
An EZCloner or DIY knockoff as I have works wonders for creating nice long roots that take to the Buckets perfectly with no transplant shock.
Hope that helps!
