clones in peat pellets

[dr_green]

My clones are starting to root, and I still have the netting on them. Roots started to penetrate out of the pellet. Should I take off the netting or just leave them on, when transplanting? And when do you know when you can put the clones into soil, like how many roots are supposedly coming out of the pellet?

As soon as I see any roots coming out, I transplant into soil. I don't remove any netting, or anything. Just pop it into soil, give them 2 or 3 days in "clone level" light to acclimate, then off to veg they go.

I work under the assumption that when the roots acclimate to being in the air, they have to reacclimate to being in soil/substrate. I may be wrong, but thats what I do.

leave the little mesh nets alone........They won't mind and I think it helps the roots grab on to something anyways.

I use peat pucks all the time, I have done both, i have seen no difference between the netting left on or off, so I just leave them on

thanks everyone for your comments. I think I'm going to transplant them today, but do I still have to provide a high humidity level while there in the soil? Also what lighting schedule should I give those little girls?

definately leave the mesh netting on- as for time schedule of your clonies... they look like they hav been taken from something that has either been flowered or was in process of auto flowering so you should def give them 24 hours of light under a fluro or distant 400- use losse soil when transplanting and then give them water and a light nuit solution if youd like.... not neccesay to keep the high humidity levels after roots are showing that means they are ready to transplant hence they have become there own little plant entity and treat them as you would a seedling of the same size... best of luck to you...peace..

I had a plant with stunted growth before. When I went to transplant it one of the main roots was tangled in the thick part of the net at the bottom where it all comes together.

I have always cut off the netting ever since.

I just transplanted the little girlies this past saturday and gave them some superthrive for the transplat, and they been on a 24 hour light compact flur light schedule. They are still standing, and today is monday so I would be thinking they would be joining their mother tomorrow (18/6 light sched, 400W HPS CMH). As of now they are perked up fine, but I have one of my clones leaves are light green, probably a N def. and the other one has a one finger of the leaf is bending up like showing the middle finger. But other then that, I was wondering I can start giving them some nutes?

 

[Dr Dog]

no nutes yet man, wait till you get them in their new homes, roots will be very sensitive now

Once roots start popping out the sides, transplant them into their new home, wait then until you see some new grow, and start with a low dose, work your way up
