im starting my grow from seeds so i used rapid rooters to start my plants. im about 3 weeks in from germination and thinking about moving to cloner from dome. i have a recycling timer and was thinking that if i have this thing on 24 hrs cycling 1 min on 5 off will my RR get too wet at this early in the stage and cause probs? should i wait on moving to cloner and just cont to hand water? whats a good bases to use when i do decide to move them if i do need to wait. also im using 3 clfs at the moment. when would the plants be strong enough to handle my 600 mh?

i mean the roots but mostly the rapid rooter...it already hold in moisture and with the cycle timer coming on every 6 min and the roots not being that well established would im thinking it would be overwatering..i'll go snap a few pics real quick of my seedlings and let me know what u think please

Yeah I have used the RR on occasions. 
I would just continue keeping them moist. Although you dont want them "soaking either". Know what I mean 
Damp is a better word. When I was growing in DWC I would let just enough water on my roots, like a "mist" just enough to keep them wet, not soaked. That worked really well 4 me I might add.

Yeah I would go ahead & move them by the looks of your pictures. Just make sure you keep a steady mist hitting them & they will do just fine

YW.. Me personally I would set it to do a quick spray every once in awhile, just enough to keep um moist bro. Like you said, dont wanna drawn um.. They will feel that water misting on their roots & start searching/growing trying to tap down into the water before no time.
