Current batch of clones. OMB you can see the two pheno 4 flowering twigs in the rear. After one day they look ok. I'm wondering if I should remove all of the flowers from them and just let the small fan leaves remain. Also note the offending rockwool cubes. I don't like the fact that there is a plastic wrap around each one because it seems like it would suffocate them, but nowhere have I found instructions on whether to remove them or not. :wtf: The heat mat is keeping things up towards 68F this time as opposed to 55, so hopefully that will stimulate growth a bit. The tray is being held away from direct contact with the heat mat by some wood blocks. I may remove them and see what my temp reaches. I'm in a basement office space and it's cold in these parts, so that may be the way to go.

Also, I was careful this time to apply rooting hormone to the lower node area first. I then lowered the twig into a glass of water until the water level was just above where I wanted to make my final angled cut. I then made the angled cut under water. There are two reasons I wanted to try this. First because it keeps rooting hormone from coating the fresh angled cut and possibly blocking water uptake. And also to prevent an air embolism from forming at the cut site, which will prohibit capillary action and starve the cutting. An old florist's trick.

Onward and forward.
