Clones in rock wool, going into soil. How long till the cubes dry out? - Indoor Grows - Soil - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

I picked up some clones that are in 2" rockwool cubes and they were just watered. How long till they dry out? My tent stays between 78-80 degrees, 50% humidity and only has cfls for now. I overwatered the last clones I got since I put them into soil right away and watered them in but I've gotta leave town on Sunday so I need to do something by then.

I would not go more than three days without watering them.Never used the two inch but have buried the small round ones for over a decade.Just a bit of water to soak the cubes and the surrounding 1/2 inch of soil on the sides/bottom

Place your pots or cubes in a tray filled with 1/2" to 3/4" of water and you'll be good for a few days.

Cover the rockwool cubes with 1/2" to 1" of soil and they'll also stay moist even longer.

Thanks for the feedback guys. They ended up looking wilted by morning so I put them into soil with a light watering. I overwatered the previous clones and wanted to avoid that this time. These were purchased from the nursery, were all ready rooted and ready to go!
