Cloning with dry amendments. Using root riot pucks, gia green, pro mix hp, ewc and mykos

Haven’t really been able to find much in this but would I be okay to transplant a clone into a pot with dry amendments? I guess my question is would It be a big deal waiting for the nutrients to break down ? Or should I have the soil sitting for a week or two before I even clone?

You can do it asap, or let it age/ferment it will work. when the fertilizer label says 444 on gaia green its whats available immediately. then it will breakdown more and provide other things slowly. might not be the same ratio but it will break down. The surface area is very high as its such a fine powder and it tends to get spent within 3 weeks. In short you can 100% put a clone into soil with amendments.

You can but in order to start rooting plant needs to find no nutrient at first, forcing it use whatever last energy it has stored on "re-rooting" and not on "growing", Most dry ammendment can be mixed with water and applied, thay way you can still use ppm as a guide if you so choose. It's not much that you can't its more the need for the stem to make the decision to reroot, once she has roots to uptake then you apply. You do not need to add nutrients until the roots are formed. Then, you'll add a diluted amount, which is usually the same as the manufacturer's recommended amount for seedlings. Remember that nutrients are taken up by roots. If no roots, no need for nutrients. And a nutrient solution can rob the little plant of water. Water wants to move by osmosis from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. Plants take up nutrients as ionic salts dissolved in water. So, without the roots and their associated active transport mechanisms, water can tend to move out of the plant tissue, which has no solutes, to it's harm. When a plant has produced roots, then it's time to give them nutrient.

1 if your referring to an established clone with solid roots yes just mix up the soil how the nutrients at 50% of what the container says just to test it out always can give more and not less. Your fine to mix the soil right before your transplant. 2 if your talking about actually cutting a new clone and then putting it directly into something with dry amendments I wouldn't suggest that

I like to have my soil mixes brewing together for at least 3 weeks (minimum), but generally aim for 6-8 weeks as a preferred time span.
