Do we put the starter cubes in nursery-type starter pots or what? Will they need to be replanted in larger pots? Water from top or bottom? TY :)

These plugs are great for a starter kit...can even be put in a small dixie cup...You want to water from the top because they are root plugs...you trying to get the plant to root As far as the transplant...just transfer in the root plug to your dirt or planter n it breaks down into soil. ..love these

You could put them in nursery pots, but (depending on the size of the pot) you might have to add starter mix to fill in the extra space... in which case you might as well just use starter mix and save some money. The root plugs actually fit perfectly in certain styrofoam cell trays - the ones that "float" in a tray of water (something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Quick-Start-Germination-Tray-Dome/dp/B00D998WWC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1392693000&sr=8-2&keywords=styrofoam+seedling+trays) . With those ones you add water to the tray by pouring it along the side or by gently pouring it on top of the styrofoam. As for replanting, you will have to replant somewhere. The plugs alone are not sufficient to support a maturing plant (but they are excellent to start them in). You can put them in a bigger pot (that is the final destination for the plant) or you can transfer the plugs to a bigger pot, let them grow there for a few weeks, then transfer to the garden... but I've had success transplanting the plugs straight into the garden without "upsizing" to a bigger container first, so an in-between size is not mandatory. Hope that helps!

Sock plugs you need to put them in a cell tray water from top when needed once you see roots come out the plugs the you plant them in pots

I dont know what the use of rockwool cubes in aquariums would be im guessing to put plants in??. I can tell you they do not come apart while soaking. They root very well. But they are high in ph which can be adjusted...hope that helps..cheers

I got mine about 6-7 months ago and some have more than quadrupled in size. Definitely re-pot them. Mine are on the porch but they will do well inside, too.

I repot mine right away, plant it on the ground or 5 gal pot are the best way to do. hope this help you

Yes, these cubes are highly suitable to start from seeds. I had high percentage of growing success like no other substrate, it does not come with nutrients, you have to use soluble nutrients after 2 or 3 weeks after the seedling sprouts.

I didn't repot because instructions stated it should be planted in a smaller pot than tree. I didn't want to risk a bigger pot. Mine is still healthy and sprouting new leaves all the time.

I just planted mine in miracle grow potting soil like I always do and kept them in sun light. When the soil is dry I water it. Also when they start to droop that also means they need a little water.

The best thing to do is cut all the bottom just use top rim put insert in that. No problem with roots all tangled in basket. Just cut em leave top rim. No hassles with roots. Love clone box. Keep a eye on jets they clog .

I'm not sure if you can but I put them in potting soil and watered them with unfertalized water and waited until they started visably growing before fertilizing With a liquid fertilizer mixed with water. For me it took about 3 months for them to take root and visably start growing. They are doing great and are about 6 inches tall with 4, 3 inch leaves. I've had them for about 9 months. I'd recommend doing some Internet research and find out what you need to know. I wish you luck.

no, transplant to bigger pots! you can keep them inside, but keep in sunny windows and water as needed! love mine!

Yes, you can keep them in the pots they come in--- for a time. I think I ordered them about a month before I needed them and they were fine. Stay inside with bright light.Of course the pots are small, so at some point they'll need to be transplanted into something larger. I used them as 'gifts' for an event I was hosting.I've also seen them planted into pot saucers, so you can put several together.

Just set them to the side. Be careful of the plants when they are young as they are delicate.

You can grow from seed to finish. There is no way that I know of to remove the plant from the cube without killing the root system. As far as what types I only grew one type of plant in them. They worked great for me.

You start your seeds in rock wool cubes first and establish the seedling. After it has roots coming out the bottom or sides you can introduce it to the bucket and the clay balls. Happy growing

I would go with "When the plants start hitting the dome" The Stornger they are,the better.Remenber to transfer the plants to bigger containers,or else they will become root bound and stunt the growth of the plant.Good luck!

It truly depends on the grow material you plan on using. If your starters are in Rockwell cubes then no water in resevoir. To me it's only used with water if your starters are already rooted, then I would fill it just over the air stones, make sure the stones are covered well and check level daily. Hope this helps, check me out on u tube I teach on there everything u will ever need to know about growing. My channel is mrbigdwc73, hope this helps

It will be easier to put the stem of the clone into the cube, then put it in water. If you presoak it, the hole will become difficult to see. I don't use it to plant seeds, only for clones.
