When to transplant clones into system

[murtymaker]

I took clones 3 weeks into flower and put them in my ez cloner. They have about 2 inch long roots now 2 weeks later. When should I put them into my aero system? I want to start 12/12 asap... how long should I wait? When to start nutes? Some of the clones old leaves are starting to yellow but I heard that is what you want.

You can put them in now and start your nutes with 1/4 strength

I absolutely disagree on starting the nutes at 1/4 strength, I start seedlings at 1/4 strength
The clones are of the same maturity as the plant it came from, they can handle the same amount of nutes as the mother
Give them the same nute dosage as the plant they came from when you put them into flower

hey Tom have you done this? I have not I was just repeating what I saw on another posting. I have been reading RIU thinking about doing the same type of set up ...root to fruit

Yes I have done this, the link in my signature will take you to my journal. I am doing it right now actually
I am doing an aeroponic sog, clones put into 12/12 right after they rooted with full strength nutes in the rez
I am using 30ml pure blend pro bloom, 10ml liquid karma, and 7ml CalMag+ per gallon and have been since the clones were put in the system

how long in the cloner? what is your root size?

When they are about this big:

That isn't my pic just one I found through google to give you an idea

 

[skinnyone]

Do you put them in hydroton? what size pots?

 

[tom__420]

2 inch net cups, no hydroton just neoprene disks to hold the plants up
I cut off the bottom of the net cups like you can see in that pic I just posted
I let the roots hang down through the hole on the bottom of the net cup
