Also I didn't position a node properly so that it was down in the wool. Anyway, the point being that I'm going to take new ones today and I'm going to try your twig method. But while I'm on this topic, I'm curious what you and everyone else thinks about taking clones off of a flowering plant. Have you done it? Is there a trick to getting it to work?
You can do it Chromophore. The original Mother of my plants was cloned 4 weeks into Veg. The individual cuts were done like any other, but each one was bagged/domed individually. Took 3 "twig" cuts and all (eventually) rooted and returned to veg. The Mama plant I have is one of those 3. The rooting period was long though, like 3 weeks.
I believe they were hardy enough to root and turn due to the location of the cuttings. Note These were in soil though,and just kept moist with misting.

I think I know what you have in mind and that one is pretty far along, but give it a shot! Not much to lose and experimenting is good. :thumbsup:
OMB Reviewed by OMB on . Will 150w HPS outperform 372w of T5HO? Well, I'm going to Find out! Only really applies to me and my particular grow, but a worthy effort anyway. A couple day's ago I put two under the T5's, and two under the HPS. I think the HPS at 150w is about 18,000 Lumen?...and the T5's are pushing 35,000 Lumen. I will throw a couple pics up when the "wakeup" tonight, should be interesting anyway. Predictions? Rating: 5
