clones

CiderSpy · Sep 13, 2009

I just cut 3 new clones,

I consider all the other 15 odd clones I've been cutting over the passed 8 weeks dead,

let's hope these ones live :leaf:

What is your method?

cut 45, dip in clone gel, stick in a ph soaked rockwool cube, ?

oh this time a scraped the wall a little to encurage roots

CiderSpy · Sep 13, 2009

maybe they get too hot 31C in the dome, at times. or I mist them too must the rock wool gets heavy wet.

Sounds good. Are you cleaning your razor blade in between cuts with some rubbing alcohol?

CiderSpy · Sep 13, 2009

yes, I been using new razors wiped clean with rubbing alc.

I seem to feel they wiggle after being put into the cubes, never been able to pinch tight.

What medium are you growing in? Maybe try something besides rockwool for rooting.

mate im pretty sure people over complicate cloning.I cut 6 last week just cut them with clean sissors dipped it in water straight away then into some basic compost mix and there all doing fine ,not got them in any humidity domes or anything just a greenhouse,oh yeah and cut the leaves to roughly half what they were.

Intelligent first post man. I always say people over complicate 90% of growing. I have a homemade cloner $15 to build and this thing works wonders with just an old knife I use to cut with. I don't even use clone gel, and have a success rate almost 100%

ya i think people over complicate the process way to much

LOL...Man I've actually pulled off clones before and thrown them into tap water to see if they root and believe or not they do. :joint:

CiderSpy · Sep 14, 2009

I'm just looking to see if I can have my cuttings grow some kind of root before all the leafs wilt. like the others.

It's been 20hrs, is the normal ?

CiderSpy · Sep 14, 2009

oh sorry if I was going to say it was 28-23C last night, my t5ho are 20" away

When they wilt that badly I usually recut about 1/2 an inch and put into a cup of water for a couple of hours then redip. That usually takes care of the problem.

CiderSpy · Sep 14, 2009

Ok I did what you said, see where it goes from here. :leaf:

yeah mine wilted pretty badly in the first day or so but just keep the stems watered regularly for a few days and they should be fine

CiderSpy · Sep 15, 2009

Maybe 2 are all right,

Keeping one out side of the dome, 2 in the dome.

Have one with a neck brace or it was going die faster. like the other bent twisted.
just let them be?
And I'll show you in another 24hrs :leaf:

I'm looking at this branch, Ive marked them with red lines where I think should be cut, the Yellow aslo where I think to cut. bongsmilie

Hehe, Or if a pro window paints there own cut lines.

This time I'll stick it in this peat pellet.

Just take a 3-4 node cutting, minimum. Cut off the bottom most set of leaves. Immediately get the cutting in some water. I usually let mine sit in the water with a little bit of rooting hormone for about an hour or 2. Redip into your rooting gel if you haven't already and put it in your medium. Some strains can be more difficult to clone. You may have one of those strains.
