Clone along

[FunkyButtLovin]

The ones in the shot glasses were cut 1/7. The bowl cuttings were 1/1 and 1/7. I only did them for this thread and the solo grow, I had no plans to keep and use them so I've been lazy, they have been seriously neglected and not potted but probably still growing roots. I'll go snap some shots and post them in just a bit.

Hey everyone! Did some trimming on my photos and ended up with a few small cuttings. Me and cloning are like oil and water.....i have terrible luck for some reason. Thats how i ended up on this thread..lol, see what im doing wrong. Then i saw the bubble bin pictures..(smoked a Gelato dube)..and went hoarder MacGyver:embarassed:. Here is my homegrown homemade bubble bin! No idea if this is gonna work hahaha.

Great job homegrown

Hey, nice! I have a Holy Grail Kush for you, too. JDU is coming down next weekend with his wife and some Thai Skunk. We all should go out to dinner and exchange genetics. But in a totally not creepy way.

 

[JDU]

Sounds like a plan to us. She did remind me that she said weather permitting

 

[DingusKhan]

Very nice! I can't wait to see how it goes.

So far so good my recently cut clones of GSC & OG are sitting by the woodstove get toasty again. I potted them yesterday had tiny root hairs put them in my indoor soil mix lots of coco peat and perilite with some vermiculite seedling mix. They were cold I think sitting near the window and wanted some heat, they are going along side the Mango clones under t-5 & 54w CFL. I'm going to try and keep these vegged till mid June and up pot as needed. When it is at least 50f overnight temp I will put them in my outside 3x3x6 porch tent with the 450vipar just blue light and a CFL to add extra heat. I don't have a bloom on that old vipar it burnt out but it's usable for a veg light.

Hey guys, sorry for the hiatus. Water heater shat on me. From the attic. What dumb muthafucka puts a water-heater in the attic? The one I bought a building from.

Here's a very delayed, minimally detailed review of my cloning results from starting a ridiculous number of clones starting New Year's, just because of this thread and MrFurley's solo grow.

I cut a bunch of Mango, Holy Grail Kush, and Girl Scout Cookies, dipped them in to the end of an aloe leaf with a sprinkle of Miracle Grow Fastroot powder on the end, and poked them in to Earth Plugs and Jiffy pellets which I stuffed into the little holes of aa Rapid Rooter tray on a seedling warming mat, with tap water in the bottom to keep them wet.

And I mean soaked, dripping wet. None of this "moist, almost dry" shit. I mean they were sitting in a little bit of standing water. I kept the humidity dome on, and didn't have to spray anything since the heat mat set to 81F kept the dome pretty steamy. Got roots sticking out of Earth Roothers in about 8-10 days.

I also followed one of alltatups hacks and turned some Earth Plugs upside down, and set them in a Costco Rotisserie Tray on a seedling heating mat visible roots in about 8-10 days.

Strains seems to matter: mango and girls scout cookies clone like tribbles.

More later. hammer time.

Home made bubble bin update.....4 days in....no roots yet. Everybody is still upright and sturdy looking . i only mist the plants once a day now..should i mist more often?

 

[JDU]

They look great! I only mist mine the 1st 2 days & from then on only if they droop. The humidity of the dome is enough & they'll work harder to grow roots.

 

[alltatup]

I say it's a delicate operation of getting enough water into the plug to get roots to come down and spread without over-watering.

i just monster cropped my legal canadian bagseed from quebec (the pink one) at 9+ week of flower.

i have a gallon jug cut lengthwise and just the cap open as a humidity dome and its in some rockwool at around 70F.

if it roots i'll take some pics.. i didnt snip the leaf tips and they drooped pretty hard. it's on 20/4 now but i heard always on schedule snaps them out of flower quicker.. i just figured a bit of down time cant hurt tho.

hope it does root.. genetics look pretty incredible.

I'm going to cut some more Girl Scout Cookies and OG Kush again I've got 2ea of the strains now in clone but I want more to give away so giving plants a rest before I snip again. Then flip them to flower in 2-3wks depends how much my autos have filled out. Still not impressed with how I grow these autos they are so small for me.

Ok not a real good pic, MD clones went to soil yesterday

 

[WizardsNThings]

Funny just took some clones a few days ago from a CBD Crew Spliff Berry just in case it turns out to be a great low THC strain (7%/7%). I did this over the summer and had 100% success rate using cloning gel/powder, and rapid rooters. But, the summer is more humid and hot here so that may have helped. This time I put them on plates on a heating mat, with cut open water jugs over them. It's not really airtight but hoping at least a few take root.

 

[DingusKhan]

Hey nice! Can I get one of those OG cuts? I've got one from my seedling, too. Kinda slow grower, still. I've got something for you too. Are you free Sat?

 

[JDU]

Yeah those plugs look like they could be a pain in the ass.

 

[wibe]

ahhh! my monster cropped cutting is starting to turn yellow.. its day 3 and the humidity dome is off with it still perky since this morning.. but the leaves are fading in colour, first noticed in the morning and slowly worsening now.

i had 100w LED on it at a decent 3ft or so above.. but read that its probably failing to take nutrients via root so early so its taking from the leaf instead since the brighter light isnt working for it. i have since decreased to 20w of LED 4 ft above.

watering twice a day to keep rockwool wet.

is there anything i can do or is it a race to new growth and proper roots vs consuming the leaf and having nothing left.

 

[wibe]

obviously put the dome back on though i hope its not related to humidity..

every bit helps though to nurture it back.. i nudged it trying to balance a temp probe in the mouth of the makeshift dome and think maybe it disturbed the new roots.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

DingusKhan I sent you a PM. I just today took 2more GS cookie cuts, OG Kush is next but she's sad so waiting another day will take 2 more.
