Like a little clipping, or taller than 6 inches? How many sets of leaves? And how big of a pot is it in?

The roots on young clippings are very sensitive and can be burned by fertilizers/manure/humus.

We never fertilized until the clones were strong enough to be transplanted into big pots, and the first nutrients they got were from humus mixed into the potting soil.

I was a closet farmer in college, many years ago. I do remember the best reference book was the Marijuana Growers Bible, I think it's available for free online.

Since it's already rooted in dirt you are ready to go. Buy a bigger pot, some potting soil TeamPooka Mar 2019 #7
