Question about Cloning in late flowering. Need advice
Sorry for no reply for a few days, been very busy.
Yeah CGI it worked for me. Yeah I took cuttings about 2 weeks before the harvest, and 2/3 of them rooted(I took way more then I needed to be sure to have a full crop). I had a white skunk and a blackberry, and the sativa actually took root faster. Yes the skunk is great for sleeping, as I have insomnia and the blackberry is quite an upper for me. My cloning method? I take a cut off the plant as low to the base of the plant as possible, then a 2nd cut on the same stem under water at a 45 degree angle so no air bubble gets into the stem. Not sure if that can even happen, but have read it and it's easy enough to do so.. I then use a powder root hormone "Green Light" Rooting hormone, which is just a generic Lowes or Home Depot bought bottle. Dip the cutting and place in a rapid rooter plug, then regular tap water to soak the plug and under a very low intensity light with a ziplock over it. Gotta make sure the plug doesnt dry up which it will 1-2 times a day if you have 75+ degrees F. I don't use super thrive but some do at this stage. 24hr light. There were small buds on these clones, but I chose the stems with the littlest buds formed. It took about a week for a few to show roots, and another week to week n a half before they were ready to transplant into my net pots. It took another 2 weeks before they started to veg again, and in another week after that they started to explode. Some had up to 4 shoots in different directions and the growth was so compacted that some leaves curled and looked mutated. I LST'd and now I have up to 8 colas at canopy level. So as for the health of a plant after such a stressing, you just need good conditions for it to rebound in. I will say though, this is a slow process as if you had 2 rooms or more space, you would just keep mother plants.
Before Ga chimed in saying it's possible to reveg for years, I had never heard of it and always had Rob's opinion. (I have no experience doing it though) Just from what I've read. I've read that revegging pretty much ends a plants life, and the yield is half as much as I posted earlier. But that's very interesting Ga, you got me thinking about trying it. But it may just be strain specific, as some have great resistance to stress. Yeah with Hydro, the ladies prosper like I have never had before. I ran soil for years and could never get it right. Soil pH and lockouts, root bounding etc.. Plus transplanting so often, I just could never keep a healthy girl an entire grow. But if I do reveg and have success down the road, I'll revive this thread and post my success haha..
