Ladies and Gentlemen,


This is a cloning attempt using Root Riot 'tray/dome/cubes' and
Mastodon, a real short Indica strain from Iran by way of ogs.

5 days ago {November 1st} I started 15 Mastodon clones.
Too early to comment but I put 12 oz of water in the bottom of the tray with 'a bit' of veg nutes.
I only spray inside the dome once or twice a day and so far they are looking fine.
I am using my 175w fluorescent light and 'new' root riot cubes.
I expect 15 live and rooted clones in 11 more days...

Thank you... bow,

October 8:
I checked the cubes and only one had many roots.
Of the others some were almost dry and others were too wet.
I squeezed the wet ones out and soaked up water in the dry ones from the lifted edge of the tray.
I evened them out 'water wise' and replaced the top.
All were alive and healthy, doing fine.


Thank you...~

And there are 10 clones well rooted and 8 more that are alive but without roots.
I expect them to root in a day or two.
{ I had 18 clones rather than 15}

10 out of 18 so far and I'll bet the healthy, un-rooted clones will survive for a 100% success rate.
10 days so far and 8 rooted clones, when I expected roots in 11 days.
Give them another few days.

Nov 12: of the remaining 8:

3 showed roots and were transplanted to 2 liter 'hempybottles'.
2 are showing 'sprouts' and one looks like it's stem is broken right at the cube.
I expect the two showing sprouts to be alright and the two other as well,
the one with the broken stem... I dunno.

That would be a 100% success rate but for the broken stem.
I didn't notice it I guess.

There were 5 clones left.
Two with stubby roots, two without roots and one with a broken stem
so I just planted them all in 2 litter hempies to save 175 watts my fluorescent light was using.
I have enough clones {15} but we'll see if they survive.
If all but the broken stem plant lives I will still consider it a 100% success rate,
if the cripple lives it will be more like 105% -106% success rate!

congrats..looks like you have the cloning down
 
Fellow growers,


I just started 18 out of 18 clones!
They are all alive and doing well, even the weak one!

{18 lived, the success rate was 105-6%}
