first clones from first grow

hi guys decided to chance cloning, the mother plant has been in flower for the last 8 weeks but in the last two weeks new stems have grown out from the top buds lots of them so i have decided to take 3 cutting s from them i dipped them in root powder and put them straight into pots going to feed them a mixture of water and root hormone for the first couple of weeks and see how they do, pics are of mother and clones. have them about two feet below a 400w hps ,hope im doing this right this is all new territory for me, if nothing else i can put it down to experience!:thumbsup: these pics are an hour after potting looking pretty droopy but ill keep ya posted

ok mate im no expert on these thing put i ve had pleanty of healthy clones
ive always been one for takein small clones
i was under the impression the larger the cuttin the more water and nutes it needed and with no root system to feed the poor bugger it would be strugling to sustain its self from day one
heres a pic of my current clones i just took another 4 today the rest are 5 days old thers a few little roots pokein out of the cubes so theyll be ready for pottin on mon/tuesday
your already have the upset of being so late into flower but you could be lucky and they'll pull through

Well, it will take forever for those clones to root, if they don't die. Generally, you should take clones no later than the second week of flowering. Even then they take a long time to root.

I'm curious as to why new stems have started growing from the main bud. I've seen little stalks of flowers shoot up but not with leaves like that on them. Are you sure you have not inadvertantly reveged them, possibly a timer malfunction or light leak?

no light leak and the timer has been on 12/12 for last 8 weeks there are loads of new shoots all with leaves and all of them have plenty of bud sites the plant is 5feet 10 inchs tall and quite stringy the light doesnt penetrate the lower branchs properly would she be producing these new stems to get more light? i havent a clue but i cant think of any other reason should i get rid of them as they now are blocking the light from the maturing buds?:thumbsup:

Well, I would stop cutting them off, they won't root and it's probably normal growth for this variety. It looks like your plant is highly sativa and it will probably go at least 3-4 more weeks of flowering. Let those shoots develop and see what happens.

cheers perp ill just go with the flow ill let you know how it goes :thumbsup:

just checked on the little ones and i dont know but it looks like one of them the biggest one has perked up a bit heres a before and after pic?

Thoes are WAY too big of cutting for clones, It was extreemly late in the flowering process to be taking clones, u should have done it weeks and weeks ago, and now You have stunted the growth of your buds and your yeald is going to be small compared to what i could of been, u dont cut ANYTHING during budding it stresses the plant, more stress = Less Bud. Sorry About your Luck, nextime research befor u go hacking away at a flowering plant....

every post i read of your's, bongo, you seem more and more upset at the general population.
