    First Grow: WW, BG, Haze/Skunk

    thanks for the link for cloning LuciferN. The pump didn't stop but the air was unusually dry that night (temp/rh drop) and I left the lid off the my res so the res water evaporated faster than I thought that night. Lesson learned.

    Question on Cloning*: Which are better...1)cuttings from lower on the main stem (I am told lower, thicker side growth have a higher rooting %) or 2)cola tops 3)simply upper, well lumened, side growth.

    What should the feeding schedule be before taking clones? I have read that you want no nitrogen and should use a bloom and ST a week before then feed straight water 30 min before. I read that off StinkyAttics guide in his signature. I may have read it wrong as I know ST has LOTS of Nitrogen.

    I really have to take clones in the next couple of days...SOMEBODY please let me know what I should feed the mothers so I can take clones HOPEFULLY tomorrow!!!

    I clone right before im going to flip the light.....very High N diet......i take off the lower portion of the plants(maybe the plant has 20-30 nodes/18-24inch plant) ...the bottom nodes are more established at that size.....nodes that are usually 1/8 inch thick are good for stability.....Im gonna post my cloning technique from my log....i seem to get 100% roots when using this method:

    I use 2- 13w/ 6500k CFL over my clone tray in a 2'x2'x2 cardboard box....i hope u dont mind

    I make cuts with a normal cheap sissor which i bought at Wal Mart......I dip the cuts in Olivia Cloning Gel.....i soak the jiffy pellets in half strenght Fox Farm Nutes which the feeding schedule comes from their web site.(mixture for clones and seeds).....i spray them once or twice a day with 7.0 phed water....and i leave the dome off each day starting on day 3, and i start by removing the dome for about 20 min on day 3 then hopefully 1-2 hrs by day 7 and by day 10-11 usually they will be able to deal with the reduced humidity and no dome. I can usually see roots on day 7-9

    I have no problem if you post your link in here...I will use it.

    Question about your above writing...I looked on the Cannabis FAQ and found a feeding schedule for mothers. This is the schedule I got off of the Cannabis FAQ:

    cloning

    Care of mother plants

    � �
    What should I feed my mothers prior to cloning?

    While the stock plant is in the active vegetative growth stage, feed it with a good quality, all-purpose or high Nitrogen fertilizer. One week before taking a cutting feed the stock plants with a low nitrogen, high Phosphorus flowering fertilizer.

    The flowering fertilizer will lower the amount of stored nitrogen in the plant and increase the amount of stored carbohydrates necessary for the production of roots. Spraying the foliage with water daily will accelerate this process.


    1) So feed a HIGH phosphorus LOW nitrogen a week before
    2) Feed plain water 30 minutes before cutting clones

    ...does this sound correct for a synopsis for the feeding schedule? THEN...what's the best mixture to put in your cloning tray (ST and water ph'ed out)?

    KILLA: you said you take clones before changing the lighting...are you talking about before you change your lighting schedule from 18/6 to 12/12?


    As for the cloning procedures off your link...a cup of ST and water to put the clones in directly after I cut them will keep the edema air bubble from forming?

    Also, should I put the cutting in the ST water then scar it real quick and then dip it in the Rootech and place in plug? I don't know how fast that air bubble creeps in there.

    THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP...I APPRECIATE ANOTHER BRAIN ON THIS.

    by the way...the above question is in regards to what to feed the plants being cloned before cloning.


    ALSO, do I have enough time to take a cutting and scar it before sticking it in the rooting hormone (without getting the air bubble)?

    Try that one. Im sorry Im not better help on this one. I dont feed my mothers anything different than normal vegging, I cut one, scar it, cut leafs, dip and stick in the cube. Then take the next cut.... still keep well over 85-90% rooting clones. I do lose some leaves, lol....So I would love to see a sticky on moms.
    Anybody wanna give that a whirl? Mom maintenance and cloning guide?

    whats the feed for clones? Do I use ST and only ST for the cuttings? Do I give them a any water at all? Any other mixes?

    PS: I suppose I have plenty of time to cut, scar, and dip before an air bubble forms?
