well, darnet, i gotta stop being soo aggressive with my training method..... noticed yesterday afternoon that one split at it's at it's lowest bend..... re adjusted the tie downs to hold it up..... this morning it seems to be hanging on, top has gotten bigger and bushier
yeah just tape it up. the plant will send extra hormones to that branch and when it heals it'll be bushier than ever!

well, i desided to wrap it with a strip of burlap for the air movement and wraped it with some thin strips of tape, so here's to hopin! 
took my first batch of clones, they are for sexing, got 2 off all but 3, and they still gave one each. 
hope my cloner does it's job well, first real test! i put Dyna-Grow K.L.N. rooting concentrate in the res at a mix of 1tbs to a gallon, 9 total. also added 15ml super thrive to the jug aswell, ph'd perfect... fingers are crossed now!

i just did it the old fashioned way, cut the 3 + 4th branch's off cleanly, then a 45 angle cut bout 1/4" below the last cut, gently scraped the ends to the white centre, then gave each a vertical cut down the centre about 1/4" to 1/2" long. then into my neoprene holders.... didn't trim many extra leaves off or pre-soak the stems, hydro guy said i don't need to with the aero system and that rooting concentrate, so here's to trying!

everything goin nice today, got my last 3 clones off to make 2 each for sexing, then i procceded to tie down more branches and FIM'd all the tops, and a few extra secondarys that were real nice too. i got 3 or more weeks till they need to clone again, so time to baby them even more. the first pic is the "fixed" plant, seems to be doing just fine.

well, all my clones still upright, so hopin..... left the lid off the cloner while i filled my water/fert/clone resevoirs, gets frigin warm in that there cloner! 
i really gotta run a water line into the room, frigin pain in the ass filling res's via small jugs! why did i not think of that before! 
the "fixed" plant doesn't seem to have any adverse affects, growin nicly it is! you can just see the "band-aid" in the pics mist'd all the clones and the plants, the plants looking real good.

the big plants are in SunMix4 with extra perlite added, the clones are just in neoprene plugs, but sexing gonna be done in same mix, then its all gonna go aero phonic or ebb & flow... havn't desided yet, so might do first bunch batch's in soil. i'm using G.E.T. Power Thrive, G.E.T. Lets Grow(18h) and G.E.T. Lets Bloom(12h) for the soil as per the chart that came with them, in the cloner it's Grozyme and Dyna-Grow KLN rooting concentrate mixed as labels say. i mist the plants every night and keep a fan on them steady, the grow room sits 75 with lights on and 65 with lights off, not sure of the humidity, but did just get a big can fan and filter because my unused flower room wuz dripping wet! nice and dry now tho. the clone room sits at 90 with steady lights, and the moister is higher in there, it's also ware the rez's are..

lmfao, ya lights, lol, got 4' T5's over the clones, 400w MH with perabolic reflector for veg (the one on) and 2 x 600w HPS's with batwings for flowering. i always keep my lights bout 12" off the canope, bend and manipulate the plants to equal sizes about. had a problem with leaks outa the cloner, so solved it with rubber under it, put 3 new rez's in too, i hate small rez's...and here they are tonight, they lookin good, question tho, what is that stuff... on my clones? roots starting? they the screwed up ones.

Looks like to much nutes. I have done some experimenting and found that VERY low (200ppm) or no nutes encourages the fastest root growth. What happens when they have more than enough nutes available they can feed off of just that one stalk and there is no need for them to grow more roots. When ones like yours is a good thing to do is when going into rockwool cubes, they can be placed into cubes without roots to break off. They then grow roots rapidly in search of the nutes they were reciving.

thanks for the advice 4:20, i just put those old clones in rockwool with straight water... hope this works, gonna change the res for the cloner out to just water tonight... or tommorow, let them new clones suck up the nuuts first. i'm so lucky that my plants arn't getting burnt by the 400w, it's still 12" up, they look soo nice and like the light there, the osculating fan pointed at it works good for disapating the heat.
