should i reapply rooting gel to clones? after a few days there is none left on them.
Sure it does not hurt them and it sure does help them root.
There is a fungiside in the gel that helps keep damping off at bay so they have a better chance to root then ones that don't use anything.
Thx zandor, would love to talk to you, headsup some day.
would love to pick your brain.
Thats entirely your call though. I understand your annonnimimitytty.
here are some pics of the clones, they are quite droopy. but once the roots form, they will revive them selves i think, hope.
I added the gel before your post, on a whim. thx alot
Do you have a humidity dome or anti-wilt. The first 3-5 day's are the most important days to clones. They need to switch from a family plant to a single plant and support them self.
My email is in my sig line feel free to contact me by email.
I live in OC part of socal so unless you are local to me I guess you need to settle with email.
I noticed your light being tilted towards vertical about 25 degrees. If you are running horizontal ;lamp you should lebvel this out...
Z, I emailed you at potdot com a week ago no reply.
Hush was down for maintenance and I needed to contact you so I signed up @pot, but you never replied.
Not giving you a hard time, but I thought you would notice if I posted here.
sorry to bust in Foxbird...goodluck with your grow, bro
np latewood, you can chime in anytime,
I m not sure if its a verticle lamp, but i would assume that they would have put alot of warnings on the box, and in the advertisement. and there were none.
You did?Quote:

Do I put my clones straight under UV light guys?
Not too much light for clones. Floro's are fine.
I don't know what UV light your talking about.
But after a few days you can not see the gel anymore on the clones. It has obsorbed into the plant. And has gotten all it can. More would be a waste in my opinion.
Assuming that all the other atmospheric conditions are adequate, or optimal.
I seems that reapplication of rooting gel slows the rate at which roots grow length wize and instead just grows outward, and bulky.
Only 1 application of the gel is enough for roots to pop out. The 2 clones that i planted are of the extra rooting gel variety. I think a stocky root base is a great way to stabalize the plant early in the veg process. also I think nutrient intake will be better. i buried the stems pretty deep, and I am watering from above till they stretch to the water level in the rez.( Is this correct or should i not water them to encourage the roots to stretch?)
they look great...I didn't wait for pik to load, because it was taking too long...must be too big...anyway, the water in a bubbler should be 1/4-1/2" below stem.
I would transfer all of them to the hydro system or pots that you are starting them in...they a ready. get'em growing. some guys put there's in sil as soon a any roots pop...I like to get them healthy like yours look and then pot them...goodluck lw
