I think I might do that. I have a question: My clones did not take in the average 7 day period that I get if they do succeed. So I think I figured out why. The Rapid Rooters were too cold and I didn't keep the humidity dome on. (From the recommendation of some other dude) Either way the dome warmed up the RRs and brought humidity back. My question is: If my cuttings are still green and perky after that period of potential "nongrowth" will they still be able to take root now that I've changed my setup to be more accommodating to root growth?

I was just posting this to see if there were any entrepreneurs that would be willing to do an interview either tonight or tomorrow about your entrepreneurship. I don't want your trade secrets it's just a simple college paper, really basic stuff. I'll be writing a paper on this. I don't need your real name if you don't want. It also doesn't have to be a cannabis business. If anyone that would consider themselves an entrepreneur of any form would like to do this just send me a Private Message as soon as possible. (ASAP seams harsh) Thanks a lot in advance!

Meh. I'm going to try and contact my cousin and see if he won't do a quick interview. If he doesn't have time then I will just make it up...

So one of my cuttings was dying from the black death so i said fuck it and took it out. I dicected the Rapid rooter only to find that it isn't even considering roots at the moment. What, the, fuck? My first clones were cool as shit, now, I can't catch a clone for the life of me. What's going on?

Cloning is easy if you’re a soil grower, throw all that extra shit away, get rooting powder, cut the clone the right way and water it the right way. Stick it right in the soil, ask Matt water and too much of it is going to slow the roots from forming. Press the soil around the stem and add a few drops of water, if the cutting droops, add a few more drops of water. I’m going to try to describe the appearance of the soil during watering in the first week. The soil should be dry on the outside edge of the beer cup the first few days, and then switch to watering the outer edge of the cup at the end of the first week. Put the clone where the temps are warm and in 7 to 10 days you’ll find yourself with new roots and in 14 days new growth above ground. I’m telling you this will work and your success rate is going to be 90% or better.

Dos and Don’ts, first the don’ts, no feeding, no soaking, no cuttings that are already too big, no trimming the leaves in half, no other additives, no mister, and no extra unnecessary water. The dos, take small cuttings leaving as many possibly ends for root development, taper ends and split them ¼ inch, use powder, stick in dry soil, add as little water as possible to keep from drooping.

Now if you have her wet and she still drapes over then the soil is not tight around the stem, just give her the finger and put it in tight. Before you know it you’ll see her bush.

Try this and post pics for me would ya so others can see how it’s done, I don’t have any pictures that I can upload or I would. The only bad thing about this method is the $2 for the powder, the 90% plus success rate and all the extra clones you will have to give away or kill because of the lack of room in your tent.

Thanks a lot man. I nailed it with the rapid rooters last time but there must be something going on. I'll give your style a shot. I was hoping to put the plant I have vegging in flower soon but it's looking like I'm going to be taking clones again.

I do have like 300 seeds. BUT they are the product, not of a nanner thrower, but that of a full blown 2 sex hermie. It makes me nervous to use them.

i wouldnt if it was a full 50/50 hermie then the seeds are pretty much going to be hermies......i mean you could plant 20 of them and maybe hope 1-2 dont hermie and go either male or female but a majority of them i would like to say will hermie...

my 2¢

Yea that's what I figured. I've got one going right now I couldn't resist letting my offspring go on but damn. I think I'm gonna let it go and then when it flowers if I see any sign of male flowers it's gonzo

I agree with Matt on not wanting to risk possible hermie. My opinion is why would I want to love and care for something to only have it turn on me, although that sounds like what I did with my first wife. I would hate to waste the time on a plant that could be worthless, it makes a lot more sense to take clones off the mature plant you already have going. I’m a firm believer that plants should be allowed to mature before switching to flower but I sure as hell don’t want to grow 6 footers indoors after 6 to 8 week of vegging, so the cure for that is to take clones from a mature mother. Clones are truly the way to go ONCE you have the right genetics that you are happy with and the turn around from harvest to harvest will be a lot quicker.

Do you have a picture update for us?

I can get some pictures up. The mom looks incredible. Happiest I've seen her, same with the clone that worked. She's trudging along great. I just cannot seem to get my last batch of clones to root. It's only been 13 days but the one with the Black Death that killed when I took it out of the rapid rooter the bottom part of the stem was hard. It was still green just nothing coming out as far as roots. I'm not sure if they're getting too cold. Or if they are too wet. It might be too wet. They were pretty drenched for the first 4-6 days. Idk. The begging girl is in a 5 gallon smart pot so I'm not sure how long I can keep it there. I'm also growing with super soil. The just add water type of organics and it will use all Ira juice if I let it go too long. The good news is that she is superbranchy so finding a clone won't be a huge deal but I just hope I get it righ. I need it to be right. We were so excited about this plant man. Jillybean (from what I'm told). Seems to be the mecha of weed for the wife and I. Super up and creative and happy without that IMF I'm so ducked up feeling. If I can't get it I guess I'll have to get more seeds but at 10 bucks a seed I might have to punch a butch in the face if my shit doesn't work. Send me all the good vibes you guys can muster.

Good news and bad news.... Good news: WE HAVE A ROOT!! Bad news: they were just about bone dry this morning and about 95 degrees in the clone box, 2 were virtually dead, 1 (the one with the little root showing) was holding up. To wrap up the badnews I got the one with the root a little too wet so I was gonna squeeze out some moisture and I felt a very distinct "give" that of a root being broken. I seriously need a collective of my family, friends, and the RUI community to send the most overwhelming amount of good vibes you can muster. Thank you in advance for the good vibes.

But in the same hand I've a vegging plant that has just about hit the point where I could take some more clones if I need to.
