When would you move to more traditional soil? Are certain nutrients required for the grow blocks? Was trying to figure this out before ordering

Maybe I'll try and get a picture of my JBPs I got from @cmeg1 a few years ago and dig down a bit to show the base.
Like nursery soil or bonsai substrate? If bonsai substrate - requirements are basically the same - both are essentially a hydroponic medium.
Correct - as it develops, the roots with basically engulf/break it down.

I have done it both ways. My kabudachi I left the block and moved into bonsai inorganic soil after removing the grey tape. The root ball was very dense when I repotted it 2 years later. The last 2 JBP I bought this year were cleaned up entirely, given they were received in the window for repotting. The plastic tape works as a pot, and the roots were circling around it and air pruning at the bottom of the block. I was able to detangle the roots and spread radially with minor root pruning moving them into a Rootpouch.
The kabudachi took off immediately, the other ones were obviously slow as root work was done, but they are bouncing back as any other JBP repot I have done. In my opinion, I think that removing the tape and cleaning the root ball to spread out the nebari is the way to go, but you will be receiving this batch in leaf, not optimal time to repot.

Was supposed to have said just not familiar with grow blocks.
Couldn't figure out how to edit the previous post if that is possible.

I like these….stonewool is basalt stone.The black lava rock on volcanic ground…..Its spun into this fibre and will never decompose….soggy yes if overwatered too frequently….when full of roots,not at all a problem.
I get them full of roots then take plastic off and plant into a volcanic bonsai media.
Ph is way more important with these…..5.5-6.5 with some ph up or ph down every watering……no chlorine either…..very inexpensive ro filter is fabulous…..makes water pure too and more room for quality nutrient instead.

Is JBP suitable for desert climate? I'm trying to stick to natives or indoor/tropicals until I become more confident, patient and proficient. Easier species, until I better understand this magnificent and challenging art craft.
They are outdoor trees hardy to USDA zones 5 to 9. They like sun, but not that much! I have one here in Michigan and it loves the winter and fall seasons:

A beautiful specimen!* sigh*
That's what I was afraid of. I'm realizing that many of the most popular species are much harder to keep thriving in the desert. I really want to find or meet some artists nearby who would be willing to mentor an old beginner.
The majority of the people I've encountered here (so far) are in the north, the coasts, and the Midwest. A few people are as close as a three hour drive.
Do you have any suggestions how to find artists who are more local?
