new dude grow

[budbro28]

i was suprised at how they looked this morning i was sure i would see some signs of wilting or stress of some kind but they look identical from the time i cut them....so far so good.

Of to a good start, half the battle. Be ready in say ten days to put them somewhere, so they don't slow down.

and his ego was stroked....thanks man....what should they transplant into...pot size? some more death on the big plant but some nice fresh green growth at the bus sites...i keep having to trim these leaves down (cutting the tip off one day and come back the next to find out the same leaf has died a little more...???...) im following chromorphe on not messing with em till mid weekend or after..and suggestions updates ideas/ HIGH-deas are all welcome at this point

Oh you don't need to listen to me on the cloning stuff. I seem to be at odds with most people on that. But different methods work in different people's hands. I don't cut my leaves in half either. I will say that over the years I have propagated many different types of plants by cloning, and they were all very different, some you can snap off a branch and chuck it in a glass of tap water and voila! roots! Other times it's like open heart surgery. I'm very much still learning with Cannabis just like you.

yea with the clones i followed ranger and cervantes' method...but as for the other burnt to a crisp/deepfried plants...im just letting em battle it out...gunna water here tomorrow with just plain filtered water from the grocery store...or should i used distilled? can we get back on the proper water topic again?

[catbuds]

Chroms right on the distilled water thing. Water is the universal solvent. Use tap or spring, just check pH.
-- On the oil slick from your run off.. don't know exactly what it is (Weeze or Chromophore can chime in here), but it ain't good. Dude. After you let the plant sit in water, you should have run more water through it to rinse away what you just disloved. Next time, just let it dry for now.


P.S. I like Jorge, but don't always agree with him.

Wonder if this solvent stripping action is why I so little mold or disease problems since I switched? Bout the only time I lose one is because I get lazy and wait passed the two week time.

I don't pretend to really know squat, but I think people make cloning harder than it needs to be. I have gone from all the fussing and domes to a much easier method.
Cut it, split it, add root hormone and stuff it in some cutting mix. I don't bother with a dome anymore, I just put 'em in the loving shade of the mama plant and mist them a couple times a day.
The one on the far right in the pic was a low plant cut in only 2 inches of soil that sprouted roots in a week just like it appears. The others were cut, stuffed into a cup of water for a couple day's then planted as stated. Everybody looks fine and my blood pressure is lower this way.
Just my newbie .02

OMB, the domes are really only needed when the RH is low. Which it can be even here once the heat comes on for the winter. Misting is a great thing!


I even clone tomatoes! Put out a 3' clone first thing in the spring & be the first one in the county to have ripe tomatoes! Bears heavier & faster than planting out a seedling. A clone is chronologically as old as the mother plant, more mature & ready to produce!

I wonder if anyone has ever tried laying a branch down on the dirt and clipping it there til the roots grow…..that is how I propagate hydrangeas….
I know it's easier to take cuttings but it sounds like a fun experiment….
