Is there a % of clones that just dont take? Id like to get a diff side to this as I have done many and am just now seeing the down side of cloning. Some dont root/take. Ive done 5 in the last 2 weeks and only 3 have taken. I know thats my per but should I just leave the limbs alone or take clones.

I know for a fact this strain is very very very good and want to keep her going, Let me know what you think.

Ill be over here:rastasmoke:

I get pretty much 100% with just cfl's and a humidity dome. It takes a good 2 weeks though before they start looking good.

It only takes one to get big enough too make a mother out of her, then you can take more clones from her to flower. She will still live in 18/6 so use her and abuse her till your done with her, then flower her up and start over with a different strain or breed her for more beans.

This is my plan:thumbsup:i have 1 out of 3 for my first attempt at cloning so dont feel bad. Its something i think some practice is needed and a humidity dome would help too.



Good luck:rasta:

i use T5 flourescants and get similar results.

Ok, so Im not the only one. Cloning is like having children. Pain in the ass, sometimes. A real joy the rest:D

me and a buddi used to make up trays of 30 at a time and 27 would take root we always had 3 that wouldnt take at all , not a single proof of a root starting to grow but if we made trays of 25 they would all make it , we were thinking it was a space problem jamming to many on a tray and the others towering over them takin most of the light or just stress , i use Wilson liquid root stimulator and its awsome works 95 % of the time for me and thats with a 2 by 6 box with tw0 4 foot flourescent grow lights from home depot and a small fan to push the air around and trays filled to the top with water as the fan will evaporate alot of the water and have it so the air can be drawn in from one side and exhuasted out the other, i find they do alot better but again man glad to see you cloning its sooo easy

Yea Diso, I took 5 and got 3 to root. Not bad in my eyes but at the same time I want buds, not flowers.

I bought 4 from the Shop and 2 died, 2 are going.

I took 3 more from my big girl and those did very well. Im wondering if the club is selling me boagus clones. My bad, I dont remember checking for roots.

we run about 95% or better with rapid rooters dome and cfl's. See roots in about 8-11 days
