needing clone help?????? (what to do....)

[ronjohn420]

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 female plants. ive only grown from seed and do not have clone knowledge, should i cut a "side stem" or the top of the plant or what? i have a idea, but just need someone to verify... im thinking of just cutting a side stem and putting some clone powder on it and stickin it in the dirt???

ps. pics are of it while indoors (07.26.06)

Clones need to be taken from side branches. The branchs you want to take them from are the lower branches as well. Gel rooting solutions work best for inducing rooting. You need to get some Jiffy Pelets and put them indoors. Trim the cut stem down to a few leafs and cut the tips of the remaining leafs. Clones also need at least 18 hours of light to root so indoors is the only way to go for clones. It will also be harder for you to take clones because it is in the flowering stage as well because you must shift the hormones entirely back to the veg. stage.

Also, you can LST your plant to give it a lower profile.

Happy Toking :rasta:

Is that just one plant in the pot?

[ronjohn420]

ive got 2 plants (which are the 2 im ref. to). I know that gel is the way to go on the root stim. but all i have is wal-mart and they only stock powder there... other than that, i went out and started "training" the plants by hanging a weight from the top to curve its growth to the sides and im gonna cut the clones now....

cut clones at 45 degree angle from a side branch.

put clone in cloning gel as soon as you take it to make sure no air gets in there..

put clone in propogation dome for 2-3 weeks till it roots, spray 3 or 4 times a day.

anymore questions lemme know

thanks alot (so far) what i cut last night was 3 leaf stems (will they work..??), and today i cut a branch off the bottom and took it inside, inspected it for bugs,etc. and made another stem cut on the clone (the outside cut wasnt as clean cut as i wanted it to be) so i mad another cut with a "xact-o" blade and sprayed water on it then dipped it in shultz "take root" powder and planted

ps: in the first 20 minutes my clone started to look saggy and dying, is this normal? ill post pics after work

When you say 1 & 2 are the leaf stems, did you just cut of the leaf from the plant? If so, thats not how you clone and they will most likely die. piC 3 seems to be right. You cut off a branch that has a couple leaves on it and the powder works fine, you don't hav to worry about that...

well, i'd use the take root. I don't think superthrive is for rooting, mainly for transplanting. THats what i have gotten out of this. i dont think you want to put too many nutes into the little clones.

Get one on those little green houses at wal mart. Try for the 10 inch high one.

Even though it looks wilted, it might live. Keep an eye for new growth. Ours loked like they were gonna die, but they are strong.

It looks like you put the clone pretty far into the dirt. I'm not sure how deep its supposed to go. maybe L0r6dIN6faM6ous can answer this.

You should look into getting rockwool or something to clone in. I think its better than soil. I've read a lot of these posts about cloning on here. I could be totally wrong.

All i know is it looks like 20 out of 20 of mine are gonna live. Fingers are crossed
