I was successful in rooting my clones from a topping in the grobo but I donāt have a system set up to keep it alive from there. Can anyone/everyone list/pic of a soil they can grow in so I can find homes for these clones until I can afford a solid grow tent plan that doesnāt zap my pockets in electricity or cause mold issues in my mold prone basement.
Fox farms ocean forest, or pro mix!! Only two I really like

There is some tiny hints on nute burn. I got a little heavy handed. I forgot autos are so bitchy.

Question: @Mcmanis, How does your method ( not sure what its called) is it still considered a hydroponic system? How does it compare to a soil grow? Is it cheaper in the long run? Is it easier to maintain?
Question: can I top a day before transition?

Its similar to the grobo except I only change the water every 3 weeks. Iāve topped before transition. Itās still hydroponic the plants are sitting in water.

Is it hard to change the water? I will be lugging my choice of soil vs water to the basement if I tent grow.
Changing the water isnāt too bad. I just disconnected the feeder hose and let it pump in a bucket and empty. The pain in the ass part is the end of harvest clean up. Itās hard to get all the water out without taking it apart. I had to buy a shop vac.
What I like the most is the money Iām saving on nutes and water.

I donāt have any drains in my basement so I will have to take everything up and down many steps.
So you use water and nutes but not as much?
I only have to change the water every 3-4 weeks because its circulating. Before it was 20gals every week now only 3-4 weeks. I only add nutes when I change the water. Even if I add more water I donāt add more nutes. Itās working so far. I have my chiller connected to my res. My roots are snow white and big.
