Cannibis Clones

I've recently cut some clones off my plant that is currently in day 40. I'm just wondering.. what will happen to this mother clone? I took 6 cuttings from it.

And also, I have the clones outside in a shady area, I live in Florida where the temperature is regularly around 90° and the humidity around 80% and 90% at night is this okay for these clones to survive? I could only find information about putting them in a humidity... box.. thing with lights until they develop roots. however i do not have these items lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated

bugged, Junosurf

Its worth a try. They will love it at night and in the mornings but for the first week they should be misted twice during the day or they'll dry up on you.

Indoors not an option?

so misting would be good? i misted them tonight
and yeah it is just got no clue what id need and how expensive itd be

Not very expensive at all and it takes hardly any space. I clone using simply soil, a CFL and misting twice a day for the first week. They all root within 2 weeks. Simple, easy and CHEAP. No humidity dome, no heat pad(unless it gets cold), no pellets/rockwool none of that. I do use a rooting hormone (Shultz TakeRoot) its a powder, but i'm sure its not needed, probably speeds things up a bit though.

As long as you keep the soil moist and the cuts from drying out you will have roots in 2 weeks tops.

Also, keep the CFL at least a foot away. You don't want the cut to try and grow without roots, just need enough light to maintain life.

awesome. thanx for the help i cant wait to see how they turn out

but what is to happen of the mother plant?

bumpppp
please someone help is the yield of the mother plant going to be affected? and do the branches that i cut off grow back/split or what??? assistanceee

the plant should grow a stem on eitehr side of where you took the cutting from, so as long as you are doing it slow and allowing the plant to recover, taking clones is actually goign to increase your yeild...just like pruning a fruit tree. You will however want to put it back on veg light cycle until the plant gets to be as bushy as you want it to, probably another month or more, just for it to get some good "growth" to it before putting it into flowering, that way your yeild will be higher. Just remember to keep your lights really close so the plant doesn't stetch.

I mist our clones 3 times a day, and the first set of clones i took had roots grown out of the peat puck and out of the soil in about a week. There were a couple that took a little longer but thats typical.

Thanks for checkin out our grow, hopefully you keep checkin in, I'm subscribed to yours! so keep me updated lol i need some good reading materials!

Took clones from a plant 40 days into flowering? Go ahead and read this: http://www.420magazine.com/forums/seeds-clones-strains/56864-what-flowering-clone.html

The mother will likely yield less because she was already pretty far into flowering, but I wouldn't worry about it too much. Hopefully you didn't cut where the colas were going to form.

thanks for posting that link, it was very usefull. I haven't had a problem with my mothers yet as i have been taking clones from the bottom smaller branches.

hey thanks man actually theyre 40 days into veg sorry i wasnt clear but i fucked up the mother pretty hard today.... totally over fertilized em all the leaves look burnt but the stem still looks strong. i flooded them this morning.. hopefully they survive


oh and im doing this outside. 3 of the clones look healthy today, 3 of them their leaves have started drooping and the stem is fairly weak. will post pix tom. thanx for ur help in advance

Dont worry about droppy clones, keep em wet and they'll bounce back when they begin to root. I also like to mist mine with 1/4 str nutrient solution twice/day, they really like it.

Same with your mother plant, I prefer to take 2-4 at a time, but if she's good and healthy 6 will do fine. Leave her alone for a couple/three weeks before you decide to cut anymore. Also, when you go to flower, take off the lower nodes and use the best cuttings for more clones.

i don't know about misting them with nutes, i've never tried it though either, i'm to skeptical about it i guess. just plain ol'h2o for my babies. Your mother plant will bounce back, after all, plants survive evolution everyday.

very true. thanks for your help. i might try misting them with a very mild nutrient solution and ill update with pix in a bit

look forward to seeing pics

2 of the clones are realllyyyy droopy and the stem feels weak. they have a bit of yellow/brown on them ne thing i can do to help them?

have you watered them lately? my guess is they are overwatered.

at this point it looks like 2 of them are probably done but the other 4 look pretty good. heres some pix

you need humidity domes on them, this will help them to develop roots faster. use another plastic cup, this time clear, and cut a hole in the bottom, turn it upsidedowna dn put it on top of the cup you are using as the pot.
