Okay, your clone size is sufficient, although one more node would be nice.
The idea in cloning is to put the green, above-ground part of the plant into a sort of suspended animation and let it do its thing BELOW the soil surface. Light encourages photosynthesis, and also vertical growth, which uses up water and stored nutrients. You need the BARE MINIMUM amount of light for the plant to photosynthesize JUST ENOUGH to make energy and grow roots, but that's it. I clone under either a small tube flouro 1-2 feet away or a single 13w CFL. Not that my way is the ONLY way, but it is one way that definitely works!
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . 1st time cloning problem I have just tried cloning for the first time on some white rhino. have no pictures yet. Using clonex and some riot root cubes. After misting them for the first time i come back and everyone of them has fallen right over so the leaves are touching the propagator floor. All the stems seem to have gone soft. Is this normal? will they pick themseves back up? Or have i just done something wrong? Rating: 5
