cut 7 new fems 6 days and no root system at all. They are still alive and looking great sitting in the dome with 100% humidity. Plant the babies were cut from was at least 3 or 4 weeks into flower. Had to take them off because friend could no longer take care of plant. Did not use gel or powder, I have them in the little gel cups that are made for cloning, just cut and pop right into the gel cup. Why do I have no roots at all? Is it because they were cut so far into flowering.Photo on 2010-12-12 at 08.19.jpgPhoto on 2010-12-12 at 08.20 #2.jpgPhoto on 2010-12-12 at 08.20.jpg

6 days is not a long time. Typically it takes a week or two for them to start showing roots. If they look healthy then you are on the right track.

Cloud9 ...Did u just cut the bottom at an angle because you get better results when you abraise the sides with a sterile razor.....?

I clone in 2" x 2" x 3"h rockwool cubes I cut from slab and I use a #2 powdered rooting agent for semi-hardwood trees. I usually have roots in 5-7 days. I have found that if you are cloning from a immature seed plant the roots will mainly go straight down, but if you are cloning from a mature cloned mother plant the clone roots will grow more through the sides of the rockwool than through the bottom.
