Full Version: Transplating Rockwool To Compost.

Any of you guys got an opinion on this? I want to take cuttings and thought rockwool would be best for noticing root growth in time for transplanting. Peat pots would be used after that? Should I mix and match mediums? Worried that I won't have room in the propagator for starting in the pots.

Once they've rooted they won't need to be in a prop. wink.gif

How long would it be till I can test for gender? Would the cutting have to grow a little while or as soon as it takes root? I was hoping I'd be able to go to 12/12 while in the peat pot to find out which batch is what. I have a few smallish Voodoo plants going and want to take maybe 4 cuttings from each and put one out to flower so I can throw the males away early.

"it's good to grow them until they are mature enough to flower, if you want to show sex early and still carry on vegging them, then you put them into flower for 2 days(for the Swazi). it's usually 3 days depending on the maturation times of the strain) and then revert back to 18/6, this allows you to see a few preflowers without the plant going into flower or reducing the leaflet number, usually you can see sex 5 days after going back to 18/6. wait until they are around 4 weeks old or have three actively growing internodes before doing this, you then have the choice to use the seedlings as mothers without the risk of having males or just to give you more space for the remaining females."

Just found the "genefinder" method! This sounds most sweet but will there be problems taking clones after going back to veg?
