Let the cloning begin

[LetsSeeYa]

Yeah, ah huh, these babies, all eight of them are rooted and starting new growth from all the nodes, even where the original leave yellowed and sacrificed themselves for the good of the whole!!!

New photos once the new growth is really visible. I used my loop, and the new growth is a lush, normal green just millimeters in size. Lookin' good though.

Cool man, im a few days away from trying my cloner. Never really tried to clone but once, which is 3' now. I used the clonex powder i got really cheep at a local hardware. Il be watching man, i got real lucky i got my NL clone so this will help. I thought about some sort of medium so i just dont get a plant with roots>

Good luck man:rasta:

I use the rockwool because I'm growing in pots with FFOF, and the last time I grew indoors, I grew in litter boxes and an orchid medium (bark, pebbles, etc). And the rockwool was great for that type of medium. I pre-soak the plugs with a dilute nute solution and then keep it wet. No dome, (RIpatient had a great idea, 2 liter bottle bottoms for domes). I got a few of them. Clear too. But I'm going to try four using the dome(s) soon but with everything else the same. :thumbsup:

I like the square 1 gallon water bottles as domes. I can easily get 4 clones under each bottle. I've also used a disposable turkey roasting pan.

Christmas update. 100% success. I took three photos, two were blurry so I'll load one. I put them away after cleaning them up so, what you see is what you get!!! They are all going to do well though. Now that they have all rooted, and I look back, I may have had them too close to the light. I think 6" is too close with no dome. Next up, some with a dome when I get my T5 SB 24-4, and can put some others into flower with my SB 48-6.

Now I can track these two ladies progress too!! and we all can see how they do! :thumbsup:

Congratulations! Nice Christmas present!

Im a dirt dude myself gypski, i was just thinking about putting the cutting in rock wool cubes, then put them in my cloner holes. Then my clone's would be connected to the cube, which id just plant in soil. Just thought it would be easier to handle for me, i dont know why it wouldn't work, but iv never used a cloner before so not sure what i can do with it. Its only a 5 site cloner, but thought i could get more then one cut in each hole if i wanted to.

Id luv to see those after/when you flower them. BTW when are you planing to do that, veg time? They look like if you put them into flower now, you would get big colas. Iv seen people do a bunch that size, which grew out big nice colas. But nice yield for such short veg time. I think cutting up the middle of the stem would help and even speed up rooting:thumbsup:



Good luck on your next batch bro:rasta:

The round rockwool plugs should fit your cloner. I'm planning on vegging them for at least a month once they have rooted fully in the cup and I put them into bigger pots. That way, I can take more clones or I may keep one I have as the donor. I split the stem on the clones too so it helps rooting. It was what I read from the tutorial I used in 2001. :thumbsup: I also only place the end half way in the plug so the roots can grow down. I don't bottom it. Gotta have room to move!!!

Great info for what i am planning on doing, thanks man. I had a thought you might veg for a month. Im working on getting my seedlings big enough to tell sex, then clone from. I have 3 strains growing, but still young and with the cold weather, they are not growing as fast as im used to. But just cant wait to see my purple in bud, so its killing me waiting.

The half way in the plug makes sense too man. Great thread as im close to trying to clone and have been reading tons, but picked up some great knowledge with this thread.

Thanks for that gypski, it will help and il do just as you did. I saw it work right in front of me, just will be using the cloner. Thing is after reading a thread like this, i question the purchase of the cloner. But i think once im more stealthy, it will come into play to make things more easy for me.


Thanks again bro:rasta:

I think the object with the cloner is to keep the end of the stem area wet. So, if you use the plugs in the cloner, I'd put the stem all the way down. I find the way I do it, or even with a dome, and you've worked out the optimal conditions with temps, distance from direct light, etc, things will be 100%. Cloning without a cloner works just as well as with the cloner IMO. Patience, and don't be stingy with the cloning gel or cloning hormone. Good luck, and glad I've been helpful. :thumbsup:
