Here's a thread on how to upload pictures

 

Me personally i like to get my rockwool cubes as rooted up as much as possible before adding them into the tanks, i find the more you prune the roots first the better they explode into the tanks

 

 

As you can see the mat of roots is thicker than my thumb and goes down into the tank all the way to the pump. They don't always drop into the res but these plants just went beast mode in the root department. Had to unclog the pump many times and the roots would grow right up into it

 

You don't have to go nearly as far as i did with them though just make sure you have a healthy layer of roots on the bottom of your cubes before adding to the nft trays for best results

Lovely roots BTW

With autos i'd probably prune them less than in the photo to be honest as somethng like this would be a good starting point to add to the tank
