the plants get a diluted dose (that includes 3 gal. brita water, ph about 6.4, i got low concentrations of ionic grow, Fossilfuel, and Nitrozime and mist spray water when i remember. dry drip system just 2 weeks old

no im no crazy you just think in am
beautiful arent they?
Nice ones! I'm thinking of cloning my plant, never done it before but i beefed up on info and I think i can manage it.
dojadave give the cloning a try,i took clones for the first time a week or so back,dipped em in clonex rooting hormone and popped em in to rockwool cubes-put them into a propagator under flouros,10 days later(today) there rooted and ready for potting as you can see from the few pics :)
1st pic is the donor plant
2nd pic,clones in propagator
3rd pic,rooted clone
4th pic,potted :D
Excellent work! I have one plant I grew from a bag seed and luckily it turn out female. Im 1 1/2 week into flowering and I guess nows is a good time to clone. Did you take cuttings from the top area of the plant or the bottom? If I had a decent camera i'd take a picture, all I have is my camera phone and it suks.
i took the clones from around the middle of the plant but i wasnt to fussy about it,just got my blade and chopped away,im taking the chance cloning this WW as its grown from a single seed i was given,hopefully will find out in a few days maybe a week as the mother(hopefully)got put into flower yesterday so ill find out soon if this effort was worth the bother but either way i see it as a bit of experience
you dont want to clone too late in the plants life cycle(flowering). Need good, healthy, FEMALE(FIND OUT BY TOPPING, little white hairs at nodes) plant in vegging stage and cut stem(45 degree angle) of healthy branch w/new leaves at top as well as a pair jus starting to form at tip. Clip off lower fan leaves leaving just the stem and two sets of leaves at crown, dip in rooting hormone(follow directions) Put in fluoros 24 hrs in moist tray(dome) root appear in 10-15 days, then plant
Well, I just made my first attempt at cloning, I hope i didn't screw anything up.I made 6 cuttings, each cut at a 45 degree angle, cut the fan leaves and left three sets of leaves, dipped them in hormone anti fungal rooting powder and placed them in rockwool cubes in a domed tray. What type fluro should i use and how many? Right now I put one 18" 15w fluro high in blue, will this be enough? Also, should I keep the vents open on the dome or closed? How often, at all, should I mist them?
dojo you might be ok with those flouros as the plant and clones you see in my pics were all done under 2x14 watt cool white flouros in a carboard box!
keep the vents closed on your dome mostly but open now and again or even remove the lid for a bit,as for the misting i never misted the clones i just sprayed the inside of the dome with water a good few times a day as it can dry up quickly under the light so keep an eye on it.make sure the leaves of your clones aint touchin the sides of the dome as it happened with 1 of mine and the leaf is suffering a little,also try not to spray so much that the water will drip from the dome onto the clones below.if you soaked your rockwool over night you shouldnt have to worry about watering until they are rooted and ready for the pot.
i checked my WW tonight and i got myself a lady!!3 days on 12/12 and got the result i was after so the clones were worth doing.i took the clones 7-8 days before putting in flower. your clones might droop and wilt but they will spring back and head for the light in a day or 2.
take it easy man
