of the box(abut 7-8 day`s ) NO ROOT`S !
what is going on ?:(

could be strain related; blueberry can take up to six weeks to root. if they are green, they are still alive and well; clones are very hardy and can take loads of abuse. just hang in there until you see nubs poking out of the rw, and then you're all set.

[xxxhazexxx]

stick with it they will root ,you should have put them in a dome strait away they can take 3-4 weeks to root but if you put them in a dome mine root in 10-14days .peace keep misting day and nite.:thumbsup: :stoned:

yeah a dome is great to keep the humidity up around the leaves, thats important because the leaves is where its taking in the water now, until there are roots.

[bbc]

you do not ned a dome , is not needed if you use Anti Wilt !
but i cut some more clone`s lase weekend and they have bin in a dome....18 h on 6 off
ye i got the seds last year from canada but i do not know what strain they are (i`did oder some blueberry i know i can`t sleep after some smok) is this common for blueberry ?

[dusto2k3]

Dude, a dome helps, anti wilt is not 100 percent. A dome increases humidity around plants. Anti-wilt does not.

[xxxhazexxx]

yeah bro you need a dome its much more productive you will get much better results use a dome dude with a heat mat clones like the temp to be a little warmer than the temp around the leaves :thumbsup: and they like freash air

[stinkyattic]

I use a dome AND wilt-pruf.
What is the actual heat UNDER your dome?
Were the clones taken of a plant that was already in flower?

[latewood]

You do not need a dome if you use anti wilt. period!

I have cloned for over a year with no wilt, or mg leaf shine, similar ingredients.
and have never had a clone die or wilt in that time. 16 hours of light and 8 hours of darkness has been proven to help a plant root faster. Peace

[dusto2k3]

we dont need anything, but stuff helps.

[green_gardenr]

is that true 16 hrs of light an 8 dark help them root faster??

[stinkyattic]

You do not need a dome if you use anti wilt. period!

I've been having problems with heat under my dome... one of my heat mats is like a blast furnace... I'll try going without next time...

[bbc]

the heat under my dome is 78 - 81 F
the clones taken of a plant that WAS in flower (12/12) just to sex it BUT THAT WAS ABUT 2 MONTHS AGO !
So the mom has had 18 h of light for abut 2 months
and they are in dirt !

[dusto2k3]

you dont take clones from a flowering plant. You clone the vegging plant and flower the clone. Then you know if your vegging mom is m or f. Yeah clones from a flowering plant will take a long time to root.

[bbc]

Ok well I just have to watch and see what happens to the clones......but I did start some seed`s (got abut 10 so far)....and I will not flower this !
Do you think I shod just flower the old mom`s ?

[dusto2k3]

do it, if they are some nice bushes, you will get some nice nugZ!

[bbc]

Well the clones that I did take...if thy root can I use them for a “new mom” or will I have the same problem all over again ?

[dusto2k3]

They will be fine, just take clones from the plant, wait til they root, then flower the clone to determine the sex of the mom. If you do what i just wrote, you'll never have this problem.

[latewood]

you can clone from plant in flower, but a couple things...1st, It has to revert from flower to veg, dying in between...basically.

It will work, but bigger chance of hermie due to high stress reverting to veg.

Your optimum time for taking cutting is when a plant is at least a month old & a week or 2 before 12/12...clones take age of mother. one month old...does not mean from sprout. It means from 4-5 sets of nodes & seedling placed in veg, nutes added. Peace

Well I was hoping to get one moor grow in before summer get`s her.... I`m using 2 24"x48" tray`s , room is 6'x5'x7' and 1000 W air cooled light I like to grow in the winter to utilize the hot air from my light to help heat the house and I do not run the A/C in the winter so the electric bill is not to bad !

[bbc]

Well it has bin 20 day`s since I made the first cut for my clone`s , abut 22 of them 1 dead......I GOT ROOT`S ON ONE ..:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :) :) :) :smokin: :p
