Hydroponic Vegetation!?

[strike]

Hey guys. I know that Weed will vegetate much faster in a hydro set up as opposed to a soil one. The question is; will it speed up the flowering process? I was hoping to have 6 mother plants in a hydro system, and to gradually clone them into a soil set up for flowering. [once the roots have developed] Sound good? Thanks guys!

Also, If i were to grow the seedlings in rockwool cubes prior to hydroponically vegetating them, how would i transfer them? Do i just wash off all the soil from the roots, or do i put the cube in as it is, and cover it in hydroton rocks? thanks once again!

no mater which way you grow them, they'll generally take about 8 weeks or more to finish flowering.

and yes you are correct in how to transfer them

the flower cycle will not become shorter but they wil grow bigger, faster, in hydro in all stages. My advice for the trasplant would be to put them in 4x4 rockwool cubes(maybe smaller, depending on how big you want them in veg) and veg them out. When you want to flower just drop it right into the soil. IMHO i would just complete the cycle in hydro, but to each his own

Agreed. I would suggest against the hassle of a transfer. You'd be better off letting them continue in the hydro setup in the long run.

you can transfer them no prob once there in the cube. just put them into your next meduim once it has out grown the last one.
