That reminds me of something I should have expanded on above: I don't think this is the time to be air pruning roots Of course this is true with the little 2" rockwool cubes as well. The roots quickly grow out of the rapid rooter and then slow down when they hit air. I like to use a bigger area for roots to grow.

There are several tutorials on this site about cloning in rockwool, and my method isn't much different than most of them, but I'll show you DETAILED step by step how I do it (and why I do this or that), from start to finish.
