When to transplant from Ez Clone

I use a bubble cloner and transplant when roots have side shoots sprouting. They look like fish bones when they are ready. I've found if I let them get too long they are a pain to get in the medium (soil for me).
Second Lobster, if you wait too long you also get root bound issues. I have transplanted clones out of cubes as soon as one single root has poked out, and I am sure they were not as developed as some of the fishbone roots I have seen in my aero cloner...
Absolutely. I think the transition is easiest with fully rooted, but shorter roots, around an inch or so. I am also experimenting with trimming the longer ones and it may have sped up the transition.
Interesting experiment... cutting the roots down shorter. How is that working out for you? Pics?
Mountain High I have only tried it this last round and it seemed to me to cause them to hit the ground running. What i did was let the longest roots in the cloner get to about 3-4 inches, average length around 2 inches, then trim down all the roots that were longer than 2 inches, down to 2. Also cut off the tips of some of the 2 inchers. Its could not be less scientific at this point, but i can say for sure that it did not slow them down or stress them. Instead it seemed that they may have started popping out the sides of my smart pots a day or so earlier. Now that I think it may have helped, next time i'll do some side by sides with the same strain and same size clones, cause really when in a haze of dank ass world class cannabis genetics, i may just be trippin'. No pics, but maybe next time
