Cloning help 2 week journal

Know One said:

I have been cloning using the same system as reggerican's method with great results. I would suggest not using a humidity dome if you're using rockwool cubes. I don't use one and get at least a 90% success rate.
The trick is to keep the under-side of rockwool slightly moist and warm.
A rockwool cube completely soaked generally weighs 25 grams. You want to shake out the water so that it weighs closer to 5 grams for the oxygen level to be optimum. Spray the underside once or twice daily to maintain moisture level.
I simply place on a heating matt that you get at local grow shop. If they start to look droopy, they need a spray of water on the bottom (not the top leafs}. I have also placed the tray of clones on top of shop flourecent light or refrigerator which runs slightly warm for same effect.
Just so happens that I have some recent clones I just took pics of. these are about 2 and a half weeks from having been cut from moms.

sweet i beat you to it..


you need to start using your cloner liberty.. i went from 10-14 days to root conventional cloning to 6-8 days to fully root in my cloner, im totally impressed with the results..

Hey reggae I tryed aeroponics too and same results root rot Im going back to that once I get cloning it self right. Hey do you worry about your resv temp when cloning? Mine was pretty warm and it was the summertime so ppl where saying the will def die or root rot. But dame Im starting to think its my moms IDK .

nah i just set my timer for 15 on 15 off and temp stays just right...

All right guuys I just finsh cloning I use rooter plugs, Razor, and perxiode 3% I cut the clone from the mom with the razor, (Alcohol clean) then I cut the fan leaves on the steam with the razor, then I had a bowl of RO water, with a cap full of perxiode put inside the water. Then I cut the stem at 45dg angle with the razor under water scraped the other side a lil bit, then put into shot glass with Vita grow cloning solution. Then clean my razor and then got another cutting and reapeat process then when I put the 2nd clone in the shot glass I take the 1st one out and put in the rooter plug in humid dome. And repeated that process. My temps inside dome is 75f and humid is 95% I just got done cloning a hour ago about 11:45pm its 12:45 now so guys just let me know what to do during this time cuz this is the time I think I fail at so I'll update you guys on whats going on when I make a move or b4 I make a move and you guys feel free to tell me what I should do in between times. I know patients. I have a heating pad but not using it should I?

cool your on your way... did you mist the clones b4 putting the dome on them?
and yes! i would use your heat mat.

also about your rooter plugs did you use right out of package or did you add anything to it? they should have come already moist and ready to go...

Yes I did spray them b4 I put the dome on them. And my rooter plugs I just took them out the bag they were a lil moist some that wasnt to moist I just sprayed with ph ro water and perxiode (a tab prexiode) thats inside my spray bottle

should be fine then, now you just sit back, wait and dont do anything untill you notice the humidity on the dome drying up. should be about 2-3 days with them rooter plugs, but check them tomorrow anyways...

pics pics???

I put the heat pad on now. As for pics I got this firefox system I use to have windows that took a lil while to learn to get pics down cuz im not computer savvy at all, now that I got this firefox thing im really screwed if you know how to work firefox let me know I try.

your guess is as good as mine bro im a computer dummy.. good luck with that!!

Hey should I open the dome and let it air out for a few sec or a min or just keep the dome on for the humid to stay in there.What about the stale air? The temps is 79f and 95% humid

temp and humidity are good and what type of dome do you have ? does it have adjustable air flaps?? if no then yes lift the lid for a few then cover back up... do not spray or add any water to cubes!!!

Hey bro. Yeah I have a dome you get from the dro store with the air flaps. So should I open those up for s sec, to let air out? No Im not spraying anything sir. How often should I let air out, open the vents? Temps are 72f humid 95%. What should the humid be by now when I have the vents open? And when I close the vents should I let it go back to 95% or leave vent a tab open for the 80's%? Thanks alot Reggae I appreciate your help bro.

cool so you have a good dome what i like to do is crack open the flaps on both sides just a hair and leave open, after 3 days open to half, and about day 5 -7 open all the way.. by this point you may need to moisten up the cubes again, but we will cross that road when we get there..

but to be honest i never check my humidity under the dome thats good tho that you are... if ia had to guess i think @ about day 5 mine is at about 75-80%

iv never had root rot and iv never used a rooting horamon on my clones, out of the 10 i cut 8-9 root. how i do this is i cut it on no angle i dip it in water wrap some ass whipe around the stem where i want to root then i put the bottom of tissue in watter with a light light shot of 20-20-20 fert in mixed with water week as shit. no blue ting. and the tissue should be an inch to two inchs from the cut end of the clone i mist 3 times a day and at day 4-7 i take the tissue and all and put it in soil watter and they root every time.

Wow, that sounds very similiar to how snips are prepared for sending out with the tissue paper or paper towel. The only difference is the tissue is secured and then soaked so the snip can draw moisture while it's being transported. I cut thin pieces of electrical tape to secure the paper towel before I soak it and carefully place them into a tinfoil box.

Fill the rockwell cubes with a sprayer when you first put them into the cloning bin. Give them a misting of fresh water, wait for about 5-10 minutes, close the door. Your bin needs good drainage. I have a drain/air hole. I put one layer of rock to sit my clones on in my cloning bin. I keep my bin high on a shelf for warmth and I use two four foot flouresent tubes for lighting, 24/0hr. I make my cloning bin out of a large clear plastic garbage bag. You'll have roots in 5-7 days. stimroot #2 rooting agent for semi-hardwood. Never touch the rooting area of the plant with your fingers.

yes keep using the heat mat until you have visual roots coming out the bottom

Alright bro Thanks!

oh snap bro your almost @ 1000 posts by the time these clones are done you will be MR. Ganga... that would be nice if its the day you first see roots...

i might even break my fast and smoke a bowl with you for that!!

That will be cool 1k WOW! I learned alot man I didnt even know that I'll be Mr Ganja Cool + All the +rep you guys gave me this month, it was the most rep I gotten. Yeah I hope I can see roots man and use this thread as a guide to clone over and over again I'll be the happiest man on riu once I get cloniong down then I will really be Mr Ganja. lol Yeah that will be cool you can smoke a fat one for me once I get roots. I appreciate your help Thanks
