My friend who started to grow his own (difficult and expensive to find kind bud around here) is having some problems with propagation. The mother plant (White Widow) is vigorous and healthy. Clones were taken with clean equipment and dipped in a cloning gel. The clones were then placed in rapid rooter plugs and placed in a humidity dome. The clones were sprayed a couple of times a day with a cloning solution mixture as per directions on the bottle. After a couple of weeks the rapid rooter plugs had roots growing through them. The clones were then planted in organic ocean forest potting soil. Once planted in the potting soil the leaves immediately became droopy and started drying out. Although the plants are not dying they are not showing any kind of growth. They are under 2 40W florouscent lights.
I suspect the droopy/dry leaves are from the shock of transplanting and reduced humidity. Why haven't they bounced back? Should I be using straight Ph adjusted water and not the cloning solution for watering? Plants grown from seed seem to do just fine. Any help would be appreciated.
