Clone ready for transplant?

[dec]

Hey!

My clone rooted after 13 days in water.
Are the roots big enough to transplant it into soil?
Should the soil be dripping wet or just moist?
Can I start to adjust them to the outdoors right away,or should it be under 24/7 CFL for some time?




Thanks!!

Yes, its ready to transplant. Keep soil moist not wet. Set the same photoperiod like outdoors, then transplant outdoor after a week or so if the weather will be good enough.

Ok I transplanted as you said and put it at my window ( no direct sunlight). After 1 week,it's going out.

thank you for helping a newbie!

Don't leave it in direct sunlight once it's outside either, take a week or 3 to "Harden" it off to direct sunlight.

I almost lost a mature plant this spring by not doing that, and actually DID loose my vegie garden starts by leaving them out during a hot afternoon almost 2 weeks into hardening them.

Nice advice,didn't even think of hardening it.Will have them in full shade for a week or 2,then put them under tree shade to harden them properly.
