These Ol' CLones

[dusto2k3]

Hey quick question. I have these clones. Just cut them last night. DIpped in clonex and into rockwool. Now, they are hanging out in the dome. Should i cut holes in the tops of the clear plastic to let in fresh air of shuld i close them to keep humidity in? Please help and help quick, twenty little girls are trin' to survive. Thanks

u need air ventilation or theyre gonna die man

[dusto2k3]

i do have holes in the domes, but i checked the humidity and it's sitting at 42%. Should i just keep spraying the lids and keep rockwool moist? I thought humididty was important to the clones.

keep the lid on and cut no holes, u want to make it humid . if u cut holes in the dome they will die!!! for sure ..... after 10 to 14 days u'll notice the roots coming outta the RW at this stage lift the dome and set itback on so that air can get in at each corner , keep it like this for 24/48 hours( if u don't do this they will turn yellow and die ) when u have done theis u can tranplant them into wahtever u are going to use to grow them in .

my clone dome has got 3 holes in the top,

keep florescents above the clone dome about 5-10 inches above

cut three holes about 2 inches wide on the top

SPRAY with distilledd water three times a day and keep top on

regular water = BAD PH

i get my roots in about 4-8 days, let em get about an inch or so long, then transplant those fuckers :)

[dusto2k3]

sic dude, i have about the same thing. I use regular water cuz the pH is OK (i've tested it), But maybe I'll give distelled water a go. I clipped 'em last night, so we'll see how it goes.

Thanks

L0r6dIN6faM6ous, they all just kinda sag, will the leaves perk up once they start rooting?

i posted this thread a few monthes back ...... if u read it u will have no more trouble with ur clones . the clones u have have wilted cuz u didn't keep the dome on ur propagator between placing clones in . i bet i am right . anywa this is the link to the thread i posted

your clones are obviously gonna sag for the first 2 or 3 days..,

i mean common you just cut them off from a big ass plant they were being fed from...

A N Y W A Y Z

the clones are gonna be in shock for a couple dayz, but if it doesnt go away and they die you are doing sumthing wrong..

it doesnt make that much of a difference if you open your clone dome to put the clones in, just keep it humid in there the way i said b4.

and if they keep sagging and die,

they are either too not big enough (skimpy clones have a hard time making it)
,
or the root gel u used onn them was noo good..

we'll see tho..

them babys look week try this next time i quit using rockwool to fucking unstable to much work started using peralite and coco fiber only with rooting gel and a heat pad underneath set small plactic pots with clones on top keep em a lil wet heat pad gets warm and with dry em out so watch em i use jump start folier sparyed and small amout of root excelrt, in medium . no dome works for me

[dusto2k3]

the main little stalks look good still. Those are not bending or leaning, however, the leaves are drooping. I'ma just keep the dome on and spray water on 'em in hopes they will survive.

L0r6dIN6faM6ous, we'll keep ya posted. Thanks alot for the feedback.

First time cloning, and, as soon as we see the clones rooting and surviving, we are gonna flower these...

L0r6dIN6faM6ous, we'll keep ya posted. Thanks alot for the feedback.

[L0r6dIN6faM6ous]

keep a grow log of those babies when u flower them :)


the leaves will defenitly perk towards the light when u get roots

[dusto2k3]

i'll do that. there are 6 purp. erkle and 3 ak47. I wanna veg the ak's a week or so longer so i have to build my veg in the closet before i can switch out the floros and put in the hps. heres a look at my setup if your curious.

Here are some earlier pics. The first is a while ago, but the other two are 4 days ago. The link is my setup from another thread. Its pretty cool. This is our first grow.

It's about 11 pm here in San Diego and the clones have survived about 18 hours now. Fingers are stilll crossed. I can start flowering as soon as these show some friggin life.

I'll keep this thing updated...tomorrow sometime. I have no job so probably early in the morning as tending to the plants is fun.

[dusto2k3]

Damn, life is great.

1st try @ cloning and its good.

After 4 days the clones look great. Somne leafs are yellowing and dying, but new growth has come out and the leafs are looking better, stalks are standing straighter up.

Looks like 20 out of 20 are gonna survive.

CLONEX works

Lord6, checkout the other post by ronjon420 about clones, he has ??s
