nirvana top 44 clone rooting problem please help

Hi i have a top 44 mother plant from nirvana seed stock, i consider myself an experienced grower having taken clones from many different strains in the past. I am however really having trouble getting top 44 to root successfuly, i have got sterile equipment and have good quality in date rooting hormone gel, the clones stay alive for around 3 weeks then die with no roots i have noticed that the wood is very soft on the mother plant could this be problem i wonder? i am using nutrients with a cf of around 5 with a little superthrive to spray the leaf with. and using root riot blocks which are like black sponge cubes... very good normally. i would appreciate some help from a person who has cloned top 44 as i normally get around a 99% success rate and so far a 99.9 falure rate..... really wants this strain!!!! please!!!

Some plants just arnt meant for cloning... this may be one of them. I personally havnt grown top 44 altohugh i hear good things about it.

Dunno about cloning tho, maybe im rihgt,.

How's your humidity in the cabinette?

Some plant clones need a whole lot of effort too root. Sum up the Humitidy, day/night temps and show me a picture of those cubes you root in.

I agree with britewire on this one...sometimes you just can't root them...I have some strains that root with no prob's, but I had this one favorite, hybrid...and, I could not get it to root.

some will root easy as you have experienced, others will be next to impossile...

In my case, I just flowered the bitch and moved onto another MUM. lw

mate i had the same problem with sensi skunk .... i found i had the cut the N down about 5 days before taking cutting and a good flush of the pot about 3 days before. cut ur cutting square off and straight into cold water , then 45 it and into the water again , then into ur rooting hormone and into ur rockwool or soil. when u put it into ur propagator cover the prop straight away, only take the lid off to add another cutting . i found this was the only way i could get them to take , i also use a small biece of carpet on the bottom of the prop which i would wet , i think this helps the cutting look for moisture.

howdey bro..

ide say your keeping the clones too wet.as they only should be moist..and fed water...a heating mat is the go ..
