dusto2k3 Reviewed by dusto2k3 on 09-02-2006. needing clone help?????? (what to do....) okay heres my dilemma, i had started some plants in my room (around 6.25.06) and they did good for about 4 weeks. Then some shit came down and i had to move my grow out doors. well i have 2 plants outside that are about 52 inches and are flowering and i can see that its a girl (pistils visible)....Although they are growing very fast and starting to be possibly visible (its outgrowing a fence behind a someones house) . So i would like to clone it so if it gets stolen or killed ill still have Rating: 5

hey everyone!!!! bads news and i dont think its normal.....

my clones leaves are yellowing and starting to shrivel (no pics, im at work)
I CUT THESE ON 8.27.06
here are the conditions: closet space 2'wide x 2'long x 6ft. tall
my temp ranges 79'F-86'F and humidity is around 34%-41%
i have a fan on top of the grow box blowing in at 55-135 cfm. (depending on fan speed)

and im misting them about 3-5 times daily and keeping the potting soil damp, i have a 1 dome for 2 clones that i switch between the clones every 6-12 hrs. (the dome has 1 1.5 inch hole in it)

why are these things yellowing and shriviling????? but the stems still green and so are 2small leaves

is it humidity (what %should i be at)

by the way lighting is 6 48" floro tubes (2 of 6 are grow tubes) and 1 13watt cfl over the clones


WHAT TO DO
!!!!!

is there anything i can do to save them

pic 1 was them at the beginning
the rest are of today 9.2.06 5.30pm EST

I know NOTHING about cloning... but I am going to try it very shortly, so I am watching your thread carefully.

That being said, common sense states that as long as they root, you can let the leaves keep dying. In an instance like this, your plant "COULD" be using nutes from the leaves to grow roots.

I had a plant where every single leaf fell off after turning yellow, then bown. I swear, I had a stick...lol there were some VERY VERY tiny green bumps (leafs). I mean you really had to look to find them.

It came all the way back and was beautiful.

This does not answer your question, but... just hope the roots are there, if they are, these plants can take a hell of a beatin'

The humidity should be at 60% atleast and a fan shouldnt be blowing on them. First off people claim clones going straight into soil doesnt have a very high success rate anyways so you should try to buy some rockwool cubes and work with those. Secondly you should try to keep the plants as humid as possible but let them breath for a few minutes everyday. Also do you have any opening on the top that your putting over the clones?

thanks oj man...lol anyways, yeah i know the humidity needs to be higher. but its dry climate in florida, how can i bring it up????

and i cant get jiffy pucks or rockwool because i dont have a grow shop or anything where i live so im stuck with wal-mart

i was considering putting a "simmering pot" with water in there to bring humidity up.... what to do

btw... the mother is 2 1/2 weeks into flowering and is looking very healthy.... i cant give pics because my dig. cam broke and all i have is a web cam

ill keep you posted

link doesnt work phillykid.....

ill see if i can download it on limewire

ps.. and orangeman... the only reason i have a fan going is because its my main room and the heat is too much.... ie: no fan = 95-105'F

Okay, First I hope your open to my advice.

Second, Your plants that you moved out will probably do better outdoors. Remember to harden off first or their going to get off to a slow start.

Third, about your tall girl, LST her either by anchoring the base (shouldn't need it at that stage) and then pulling her down, ever so slowly (is key especially durning your stage) the opposite direction from your anchor, until she is parallel to the ground. Or below the fence line where you want her. Or you can LST with my method which is tieing off at the first few nodes down from the top and then tieing off at the first few nodes up from the bottom. Making A 'S' hook type shape. This method in my experience, works better and creates a more sturdy, bigger plant.

Fourth, take your clone(s) from the oldest growth. Meaning the closer the branch is to the ground the better. As these plants have the most hormones, to increase chance of clone survival and quickly rooting, reverse foliar feed with plain water about 5-6 days ahead of taking the clone(s), this will do two things reduce the amount of Nitrogen and building the amount of carbohydrates both of which will improve clone rooting time. I suggest that you keep your clones in high humidity and out of direct intense light, meaning that I would not recommend putting them outside in the dirt. You want as much of as stable clean pest free, diease free, humid enviroment as possible.

Well I hope my time here hasn't been a waste. Good Luck and Happy Growing, Stay Safe!

Love and Peace
