I am hoping for a high success rate. This is my first time taking cuttings but I believe i did everything right. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

Ok... we're down to 11.

1 clone died today. It appears the stem rotted away inside the rapid rooter. Which is odd because all the other plants have firm stems.

I'm also still bothered that I don't have a single root yet, but my clones aren't dying/wilting away either. I am so confused about this cloning thing.

Ive had clones take 7-10 days to root all the time, your only at day 6 man, lol...Sit it out homie, your fine:greenthumb:

Actually technically I'm at day 8 or 9. I actually took my cuttings on Nov. 4th but didn't post about it until Nov 5th.

Bleh... root bastards root! lol :hippy:

Hey D any pix of your cuts bro...

Oh god....the cloning thing. I HATE this part. Dai I had the exact same issue as you......nothing nothing nothing and I was jumping through hoops right and left. Make sure your dip and grow is good.....Stinky suggested that brand over others and it works well for me.

Are they changing color...as in getting lighter or yellowing? If so you could foliar feed them lightly.....I swear I've stared at clones FOREVER and nothing but once you see the plant starting to pull nutes from the leaves you can foliar feed a grow nute (I ph to 6.5) at 1/4 strength. It really seems to help the plant and I'll usually get roots within a few days of the foliar feeding.

That is the strange part. They really are just not dying. They are not yellowing, they aren't getting limp. Nothing seems wrong with them aside from the fact that I have no roots.

I'm glad WT had pointed out that it's only been 6 days (really it's been 8) because it made me realize it hasn't been that long. If I go 3 weeks and still no roots then I think I am doing something seriously wrong.

My dip and grow is fresh. I also got it on recommendation after reading a few of threads Stinky suggested it. :thumbsup:

I'll take some pics tonight. I keep putting it off because there are no roots but I guess I can go ahead and snap some pics.

Stay tuned later this evening.

I'm also new to cloning but have had some sucess. I made a bubble cloner like the one made in the sticky and bam! I have roots! lol. However, they almost died, they did wilt, and the stems did turn purple. Do you score/peel a part of the stem back after cutting? I didn't see roots until 3 days after i re-cut the stems and quit peeling back a sliver of the stem, I also placed the stems 1/4in in the water instead of 1/4in above. I think the big determining factor was the switch in air pumps, crappy walmart pump for an industrial sized pump pushing 70l/min

The last clones I did were doing the same thing, even growing with no roots. I was using a bubble cloner. I don't know if this is what helped, but I laid a piece of carpet on top of the dome to reduce the amount of light they got and they started rooting in a day or two. This was after no roots for 2 weeks. I was foliar feeding.
