How long do clones take to root and grow lush

[Chefbjy]

First time trying to clone here had some in make shift bell clothes and some look like they took but aren't growing so good had them in the same room as mother plants with plenty of light maybe too low of humidity but there are a couple that look like they could do something. Just wondering if I need more patience or just a different grow environment. Just switched the Mama's over to flower so now they're just chilling with some LEDs and out of the room.

Yes you are correct in thinking patience. Some can only take a few days some three weeks. Your humidity if it was low that will cause a problem in the rooting process. Humidity is huge for clones. Too much light is bad for them too. If they're still green and not dying you can up the humidity and make sure the LEDs you have on them aren't blasting directly on them they should take. You also wanted to be pretty warm for them. The Roots need a good temperature to form

Thanks I really can't get the humidity up in the room they are in but I'll try my patience is been three weeks for a couple I put water bottles cut in half for bell cloches and misting them every once in a while just gave the ones out of the bell cloches some rapid root and the LEDs aren't very powerful with blue spectrum. Ocean Forest soil used clonex and a guide from gwe to start. They were off to the side of a1000watt hps with around 50 percent rh now with same rh and less light.

How old are they?

From the mother plant? The mother was 30 days or so into veg when I cut the ones out of the bell cloches and that was three weeks ago when I put them in my medium. A couple others are recent but in the bell cloches... I took quite a few but don't know if any of them will grow lol.

So the first ones you took are 3 weeks? Are they starting to yellow?

 

[Chefbjy]

No they are just there I got some over spray of neem oil on a couple the lack of a fan on them caused a bit of a burn on a couple. But yes it's been three weeks at best.

Correction 25 days

You can always do the tug test. Give them a slight pull up. Not hard enough to yank them from the soil. Just enough to see if they hold. If they do you have roots and you just need to give them more time. If not you can decide from there what you want to do. Leave them and let them keep trying or kill them an invest your time elsewhere in your grow.

 

[Chefbjy]

Haha well they seem to have rooted so I'll just be patient thanks.

 

[UrbZ]

You're welcome.

Update... First time cloning looks like I have 4 that took root. I took a couple more cuttings and they are in week one and looks like they're doing great.
