Clones slow to root, or paranoia?
Hello folks, and thank you first of all for sharing such a wealth of information. Here's the scoop:
My friend and I have:
3 Big Bang cuttings, and 3 White Widow cuttings (2-3 nodes each) fan leaves cut in half, stem dipped in root hormone gel, and placed inside a small rockwool cube, then put inside a large rockwool cube inside a growing tray and dome (neither rockwool cubes pre-soaked... Shame, shame, I know...) The dome is misted at least once a day, and the dome is removed once a day to let air circulate. The dome is on the floor, approximately 6 feet away from a metal halide light. We water nearly every day, and try to follow a natural wet/dry cycle.
Now, being new to this, I suspect our worry has gotten the better of us, but...
The plants look good, honestly, but tomorrow will be 2 weeks in, and we still aren't seeing roots emerging from the rockwool. The lower leaves on one or two of the clones have yellowed and died.
Are we being overly concerned parents? I'm worried they are receiving too much light, and are eating themselves instead of rooting. I'm also concerned that the amount of rockwool is somehow hindering growth... I would just hate to try to get these things vegitating without knowing for sure rooting was going on... Any ideas what I'm missing with this simple process?pokechop Reviewed by pokechop on . Clones slow to root, or paranoia?
