SUCK n SEE CLONES

[HippyInEngland]

My wit and speed are negligible.

Is this how you make clones of other plants too?

I always trimmed the large fan leaves in half.

Taking the large fan leaves completely off is a better idea. It takes less energy from the plant to heal the small area where the leaf was cut off with a sharp pair of scissors. If you cut the leaf in half, the plant will waste energy trying to heal the leaf.

good thread mann, hey im using cloneing gel and its my first time so far all 4 rooted neglected 1 that was just in water and nevr changed the water... it was a experiment for me too... i saw a youtube video sayin cut big fan leafs in half and trim most of them off, i did this with the smaller one and not with the bigger one but my bigger one showed roots faster, and growing faster then the other one could this be cuzz i left more roottone on one? ill have pics 2marrow..

Also, in my cloner that uses a fine aeroponic mist to wet the cut stalks, after 14 days, I have a string of roots about 6 inches long.



Thanks

Sounds good Potus

Do you have any pics of your aeroponic setup that you would like to share with us?

Sounds very interesting.

I myself have not ventured into hydro, in any shape or form.

Sure man, here's a link to one exactly like mine:

25 location Cloning Machine

The Clone Machine 20 they refer to is what I have.

Please us know how it turns out....I am deing to know....they look pretty good.
good luck..I always have a hard time cloning....out of 20 clons I will only have MAYBE half come out.

No worries TC

1week in and they are all looking aok

I must addmit I am a little surprised

In the past I was very regimental in my cloning process, which led to a very high sucess rate.

When I finaly had to close my basement grow room.

(I didn't think perspective house buyers would have liked the idea of a basement cannabis farm)

I had become rather blasé about the whole process.

For sure more pics will follow

Good or Bad

You know what mel

untill you mentioned it, I hadn't even thought that far ahead:doh:

errrrrr

So having a quick think about it....................................

1gal pots sound ok to me.

which will be kept out of doors

and what do you mean

IF....................

 

[HippyInEngland]

How old now? any progress?

 

[Melissa]

sorry bud:giggle: slip of the keyboard i meant WHEN :48:

 

[bud.uncle]

Ok

So

Looking good, as in they don't appear to be dying.......

Yet on the other hand no signs of roots..........

Yet............

I have, I think, changed the water twice since the last update.

 

[HippyInEngland]

Is it natural to see the leaves start to droop?

 

[bud.uncle]

The picture may well be deceiving

but

believe

well

they are fit and well

sometimes my pics may not be the best
but they are real

 

[HippyInEngland]

Reality is in the mind of the believer.

 

[bud.uncle]

Ok

So we are 18 days into this now......................

I decided to place all the 4 clones in separate containers now.

Still no sign of roots but the clones look pretty good concidering.
There has been a little leaf curl, in an upwards direction.

I have just realised that the 5th is in the patch, gona take a look see now.

 

[HippyInEngland]

Looks like its an over watering issue.

 

[Dubbaman]

IMO the problem as to why you have not seen any roots yet is the container. Roots need it dark to start take some electrical tape and wrap it around one of them small glasses and you should see some here in a few days a piece of paper on the top to keep the light out would help too.

 

[bud.uncle]

Thanks for popping by Dubba

This is no way a cloning method that I would recommend to anyone.
There are much better methods of producing viable rooted clones, this really is just a "suck n see" thing.
I do keep looking at them n thinking

Ok

time to get the gel and pots out

but

I just wana see what happens, if I leave themselves to themselves
