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

[ronjohn420]

hey thanks guys... i got some misleading advice from someone about how you can use leaf stems and cut the tips and they will sprout....????


here is my 2 new clones, you can see the first one (old pic 3) still wilted and dying (but im tryin to save it)

and as far as rockwool or jiffy pucks go... i cant get them here unless in drive like a hour away so im stuck with wally world

tell me what you think

you did it rite that time, thats wat i tried to say b4, i shouldve should u with pictures or sumthing i guess..

you need domes.

cut the bottoms off pepsi bottles, put them over the clones, and keep florescencts above them all, and spray them with distilled water three times a day. this will give them humidity.. do it for about 2-3 weeks till they start looking better.

njice, well you'll know if they take.

Give it like 3 days and you should see improvement., If some yellowing occurs, dont worry, just look for new growth.

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
!!!!!

[dusto2k3]

dude mine did the same thing. Are there new leaves growing. It seemed to me that the big ones fed the clone until the roots got going or something close to that.

here's what mine looked like...or they still look like this but i see roots now.

Ron, do yours look similar?

[dusto2k3]

Ron, scroll to the bottome of the thread, you will see my latest pictures.

I saw the pics dust but it should be noted rockwool and dirt act a bit different.

Just like Dusto2k3 implied clones with yellowing leaves are often a sign they have sprouted roots. With some cuts I have seen roots in as little as 6 days, but with others I have waited over a month before seeing roots.

I hope they are being covered by some sort of humid-dome yes?

Also I noticed when cloning in dirt cuttings take slightly longer to root. As long as they are alive just give them love they should take. On a positive note, dirt rooted clones will be less susceptible to nutrient deficiencies.

FYI I too have cloned just one leaf and got it to root! So that is what I had for a while, one big fat leaf with a huge root structure.
