I got 3 questions:

Can I transfer my rockwool grown clones in soil?

If so should I use hydro or soil nutes?

And should I PH in range for soil or hydro?

Sorry for the silly questions.

I've done it in the past when I was preparing clones for transplant outdoors.
I started them in 4 inch rock wool cubes, and planted them directly into the ground(soil) when they had a good set of roots. If your soil is rich, with a fair amount of nutes already in it, I'd avoid fertilizing until a week or so to see how they're doing. Then fertilize at about 1/4 to 1/2 strength. Then take it up from there. Most hydro nutes can be used in soil, as long as they have the proper micro nutes in the formula(and most of them have this). Just don't use soil nutes with hydro! Goodluck.

Im going to do the exact same but mine will be an indoor grow Id just like to know if I should PH it as if its a soil grow or hydro grow as the RW contains alkaline & raises the PH. What would you do?

thats the beauty of rockwool, it can be in hydro or soil...put it in the soil and give it organic soil nutrients, low dosage (usually half recommended) at first then building up.
