couple more q's for ya!:

What should i do about large droplets of water forming on the leaves? should i dab them off with a peice of tissue or are they harmless?

Should i be watering the rooting cubes too? or is the misting INSTEAD of watering?

My clones leaves are quite shrivelled now, only 5 hours after cut is this normal?.. i cant help thinking ive gone wrong somewhere?

Would i need high temps for the cuttings? 27 degrees C like big plants? or do they just need room temp' like seeds? i just have them in a heated propagator which is just warmish, and its in a cold room...
I don't spray the clones, and just spray the inside of the dome itself a couple times a day, or when things are starting to look a little dry. About the condensation, I shake it off the leaf when I notice it... but I've also seen people keep clones pretty wet, and didn't seem to have much problem with it. They aren't kept in these conditions for much longer than a week, so I don't think it's anything to worry about.

I've never used rockwool before, but I'm sure you don't want to let the cubes dry out. Don't keep them soaking wet, but make sure they're evenly damp. Also, I've heard that you're supposed to let RW soak in water at a certain pH for 24 hours. I'm not sure the specifics, but you should be able to find out pretty easily. Just head over to the hydroponics section, or do a keyword search for "rockwool".

Wilting is common in the first few days, and will USUALLY resolve itself as the cuttings take root. And 27 degrees C is perfectly fine, it's the extreme temperatures that you want to avoid. Good luck my friend, I hope all goes well for ya! :jointsmile:
Mr. Clandestine Reviewed by Mr. Clandestine on . cuttings in veg idea I know that some people take cuttings from plants in veg and then force the cuttings to flower so that they know the sex of the older vegging plants, but... i want more plants than i currently have so i would rather just keep my cuttings in veg (say one cutting from each plant so that my number of plants is doubled) without flowering them, and then when the original set of plants flower and have been sexed i can throw away the cuttings from any males. I was planning on labelling my original Rating: 5
