Potting a clone in coco

Mossyman88
Mossyman88started grow question 3 years ago
Hi team, I have a mate that grows photos in soil that says he can give me a clone or some cuttings anytime I want. I grow autoflowers in coco. My question is can I repot a cutting/clone in coco if it has already grown in soil? Regards, Mossyman88

The fact that the plant from where you are getting cuttings is growing in soil will have no effect if you want to grow the clones/cuttings in coco. For ease of cultivation, I would be getting rockwool cubes to plant the cuttings in to, however, if the clones are already growing in soil and you want to plant the cuttings with their soil into your coco system, there should be no problems what-so-ever. In fact, your coco would get a microbial boost from the soil. Any soil started cutting should not suffer from nutrient/water build up, as these will just be "sucked up" into the surrounding coco anyhow, coco being quite "sponge" like. Hope this helps,....

If he can give you a clone anytime then he must be cutting it fresh off the plant. In this case all he has to do is root the clone in a rock wool cube or something similar and your good to go. If he uses a cloning machine just put the roots in a cup of water to get them to you and transplant directly into your coco. There are a few different ways he can get you clones for coco. Lol not sure if you meant the clones are coming from a plant in soil, or if your getting clones in soil...lol but if you get them in say a small starter pot of soil just or something just wait until she is ready to be transplanted and transplant her soil and all into your coco, the roots will grow out and into the coco. Only thing is that the soil will retain your water and nutrients in it a lot more then the coco, so if there is lots of soil you are transplanting then maybe it’s better to do what the other grower said and leave it in soil till it can be cloned itself and make some new ones that way. Hope this helps, cheers 💨

Sure but keep in mind the soil has microbes and nutrients and fungi to help the plant get food and what not so i would leave the dirt around the root zone because of the micro rizho around the roots and put coco around it. Or take it leave it in dirt all the way and clone off of that into coco or root cube then coco
