The third rooted late the second day (yesterday)?.the fourth never really recovered from the cut. It was the smallest and a little marginal in my mind anyway.
So I??m pleased with 3 of 4 taking root.
Same thing I discovered with fog, marginal cuttings don't grow marginal in fog...they seem to die off. But I've had cuttings go completely dead, or seemed to be dead, start to throw new roots, after an extended period.


Interesting?.because I didn??t actually toss it?.I put it on a styrofoam raft over a bubbler?..It hasn??t rooted, but it??s looking better. The problem is actually in the domes for the specific netpots?..getting the right vapor flow and humidity in each dome. I??m diddling with it?.but finding the perfect flow for each takes a little time.

I removed their domes for a while today to see if they could stand on their own?..nope not yet!
Not unusual when in a dome. When you remove the doom try playing a bugle revelry loudly while yelling "get up you bitches"; sometimes works for me.


??Get up you bitches? is politically incorrect in Calif?.I??ll look for a bugle! :jointsmile:

Present thinking is to let the roots develop some?.and then bubble splash some to begin to acclimate for transition to soil.
Sounds like a decent plan.


Thanks for the affirmation?..I put these thoughts out hoping for affirmation OR correction?much appreciated. I put three rooted cuttings and one unrooted on the bubble chamber (the other chamber just fog) on Jan 2nd?.we??ll see what happens!

One of the things that I like the best is having development so consistent throughout.
??? 3 made it 1 did not, consistent....oh you talking about the growth!


Talking about timing?as opposed to the dome rooting one in three weeks and others in five weeks. A day as opposed to weeks. Isn??t that the trademark of Americana?to want it fast, like in yesterday. I??m a young man?and I??m in a hurry!

i did have an issue with hardening off, but it was nothing that wasn't to be expected.

Again?.saw palmetto.

as far as the feeding, i think they like it as soon as the roots hit the soil. they've been burning up their food stores during the rooting process. hit them with some low dose nutes, a blend of grow/bloom if you are running a two part system as phosphorus helps with root and stem development and increases vigor and potassium is necessary for all stages of growth and aids in creating sturdy and thick stems, disease resistance, water respiration and photosynthesis.

Much appreciated?..will do. What I do have is Foxfarms GrowBig at 6-4-4. The strains that I??m fiddling with are very light feeders, so I??ll be gentle?as it??s their first time.

I had an exciting last week?.I lost power for five hours. I immediately fired up the generator?.which ran for an hour, and then decided to take a little rest. So with little alternative I flooded the grow chambers with Dihydrogen Monoxide for about two hours until the generator came off ??union break?, nobody complained.
I have yet to see any difference whether I fog 24/7, or I ??pulse fog?, or flood, or fog/splash?..perfect for a guy who doesn??t know what he??s doing.

Thanks for the input,
