i took about 15 clones off my hindu kush plants about 5 days ago and theyre not showing any new growth. i used some cheap rooting powder from canadian tire "stimroot". i am thinking this is most likely my problem,however i was looking for some input. please help
Not knowing how you cloned or in what medium is hard to say. The clone powder was alright. Our clones take from 7 days to 14 days and will not show any new growth utill the roots are showing out of the rockwool cubes real good. Most times no growth untill put into hydro system for a few days and let the nutes kick in.
yes mate i am having the same problem. they have been in the rockwool for just over two weeks, the plants are still alive so, going on that they are still alive, i am assuming that something is obviously happening, although it may be a little slow.
if i were you i would just keep doing what you are doing and hopefully before long you will have some excellent looking girls.
Without knowing how you took clippings, from which part of the plant you took them from, and what you put them in, it is hard to determine the issue.
One thing you should know is that you do NOT want to give clones too much harsh light because they are not trying to grow new foliage growth, they are trying to establish new roots.
But really, 5 days is a very tight time schedule to expect new growth from fresh clippings. You will not get new growth from clippings from ANY plant (in my experience) in just 5 days.
Hope this helped,

the plants i took them off are being grown in a drip system using hydroton. i cut the clippings off the upper portions of the branches. i used the powder as directed and put them into rockwool in a humididty dome. i have only watered them once as the medium was still wet. they havent died but it doesnt sem like anything is happening. its my first time cloning so i might be a little impatient but i have to be sure
Clones take patience. It takes about 2 weeks for them to get enough roots to start growing again and about a month before they start putting real growth on. Keep them moist and they will be ok

How's that for impatience!
Happy growing,
