I am doing a few BONSAI mums and need to transplant. The thing is the cubes my current plants are in are 6 inches and have some algae on them ,so what I would like to do is cut the cubes, roots as well down to smaller cubes so I can put in smaller pots. The plants are about 5 to 6 inches tall frow clone. They have strong root systems. Will I fuck my plants if I cut about 2 to 2 1/2 inches from my cubes ????? I know it will slow growth for a second but thats fine.

 | I think that's the way i've heard to keep bonsai "mums". I haven't seen it in rockwool, only in soil but I would think it couldn't be much different. Basically what I saw was transplanting into the same size pot (kinda) Say you have a 6" pot of soil (or 6" rockwool), you would cut 1 1/2" inches of soil and roots off from each side and put it back into the pot and fill the sides with soil. 2 1/2 inches seems like a lot but that's the way i've seen it done, i don't think you will fuck the plants up, most likely stunt them for about a week.
