Does root rot pass from mother to clone?
Thanks for the help, guys, definitely glad to hear that.
They're in soilIf you are in hydro have you tried H202 in the rez?
I'm pretty sure the mom's did, few roots sticking from bottom of pots looked brown + not healthy, but hard to tell.GROW.. do yo have root rot....?
O.K. here's the whole story: Made some clones from a bunch of mom's that were in so-so health. Don't know what I did wrong but they took almost 6 weeks before 70% of the tray was rooted, the rest I threw away (some that hadn't rooted were molding).
By then of course the clones looked like shit, and the roots did too, brown and soft in many places. I'd wanted to grow them for my next crop, but as I've heard rootrot just keeps advancing 'till they're dead, I didn't. Instead I put 'em in small soil pots, hoping to save the strain by vegging then cloning (although I didn't actually know if you could do that).
In soil the clones grew, but reeealy slow; I assumed it was because they were sick, being from such sick-looking clones. When they got about 10" tall, I went to top/clone them all and one plant just fell over, at the soil-line. I examined it and the stem just below the soil was mostly rotted away (looked just like dry-rot in wood), with a couple nice white veins still intact, showing through. I was amazed that the plant looked as good as the rest did on top -- nice and green!
Anyway no others were that bad but I figured they all had 'the rot' and that was just the most advanced one. So I cloned them (except for the stem-rot one) and 10 -11 days later they're showing roots.
Another adventure in gardening
grow4fun Reviewed by grow4fun on . Does root rot pass from mother to clone? Hereâ??s one for the experts: if you have a plant (say, in hydro) that has definite root rot but itâ??s still green and healthy-looking up top, if you make clones from it will it just be a matter of time until the rootrot infection overtakes the clones (or the plants the clones grow into)? Or can the plant â??cheat deathâ?? by being cloned and grown again in a good environment where it wonâ??t get rootrot? I was wondering if anyone has cloned from a plant with roootrot and then Rating: 5
