They didn't make it. Was just a crazy idea thought I'd try. Several aspects go against cloning Knowledge I guess, the turbulence, high nute level for clones, and to much light. Guess the water could have been warmer to. Was Interesting to at least try though!

do you leave them right there next to the mother?

Thanks Daas.
Yep! Only during the day though, moving them next to the seedlings and the closer to the heater at night. Checked the spot under the mother plant, and stays pretty close to temp and humidity for clones. Waiting on the smaller Black DOG to finish, then will move them to that grow tent, and probably put a light on them along with the seedlings, autos, and CD-1, at least till days get really long.

The newest addition to my mini ecosystem. I have had problems before, of them running off and finding a nice place to die. They still seam to be happy after all day in there new home.
The difference is that I refrigerated them overnight as soon as they arrived, the cold is supposed to settle them down. Just before I released them, I sprayed all of them down with water and molasses. I also watered the vegetation where I planned to release them, so they would have a drink after transport. I let them out in the morning of a cool and overcast day, which helps keep them where you put them, evening is also a good time to let them out.
I had a aphid problem starting out over in my Vedgy bed, none on the cannabis though. Will do my best to give them a good environment, so they become a permanent part of the garden, just like Frank.

Ok, I really like what I just saw. Eight mating pairs of Lady bugs, maybe some I didn't see. I guess this would be a good reason to release large cluster of them, so better chance for more eggs.
Larvae eat way more pests then adults, they look like little orange and black alligators,the egg cases look like orange clusters stuck to plant leaves. They need either pollen, or a sugar solution, as a food supplement for laying eggs. I have a couple Pac Choi plants in flower, for saving the seeds and to attract benifficials, hopefully pea and bean flowers for lady bug forage, soon.

I tried putting them on plants in the house a couple times, and it didn't work to good, they went everywhere. Drove my roomate nuts( which actually was kinda funny, they went in his room, never bothered me, right across the hall!) I think having a place for them, to hide would help, also mulch, I can't help but think that it has an appeal to them, just someplace they can crawl under in case a bird is after them or something. My postulations on lady bug Physcology at least, Lol!
