hello everyone (anyone)!!!!!!
i have started growing 2 ganja dwarf lowriders and have been growing them in the small rockwool cubes for just over 3 weeks and i have read that you have to wait for loads of roots to be showing before you can translpant them bigger rockwwol cubes but mine hardly have any showing. Am i over watering hem to much or is it something to do with the enviroment and is it o.k just to put them in the bigger bits of rockwwol with only the minimal amount of roots showing.
much appreciated if any one of you guys who know what your talking about can help.

Hmm more info please... and pics. are you doing hydro? dwc? or simply watering the cubes every few hours? what about food? some root juice?

3 weeks sounds a heck of a lot for a small rockwool.

yup put it in soil, it will help the roots breath better by trasfering excess water from the cubes and protect them as they emerge.

i have been watering the cubes daily. i may have fucked up because i started giving them nutes as soon as the first leaves came through and was doing it everyday but read yesterday that i should be every other day.

I had some clones that had no roots showing and looked liked they were going to die for certain. I transplanted the cubes into soil and today they are thriving. Another couple weeks and they will be ready for flowering. I think your nutes should be fine.

sorry to bother you guys and last time today i promise but would it kill my plants if i put my plant that is in the small plug rockwool cubes into the big rockwool even though there is no roots showing through the small one.

no it wouldn't kill them. but like people said unless you really know what you are doing, you are better off putting it in soil or even coco.
