clone experiment (basic)

[downundadude]

i had taken many clones of a healthy chick, used a softwood rooting gell (gel) and planted them straight in to potting mix... after 5 days i decided to do a bit of an experiment which i am sure sombody has tried befor but hey we are all newbies at something,

i took a teaspoon of rooting solution (gel) and desolved it in 100ml of hot water then added 350ml of cold water, so i started to water the soil of 3 of the clones every 3rd day for the past 3 weeks and the results are very good, as i pulled up one of the clones i found allmost 5 times as many roots and it had advanced the upward and outward grow a great chunk.

i think this process is a great way to give you clones a push when putting them straight in to soil as the sucess rate is lower than using a rockwool type product..

i just hope the faster root growth will not effect the qualitly of the plant... guess i will find out in a few moths hey...

Nice.
More roots is never a bad thing!
I guess I will be adding some hormones the the water in my wick setup from now on... thank you for using your plants as guinea pigs!

this is the difference at 2 weeks on my dodgy clones... on the left is the one i have been watering with the solution... the smaller single pic is when i planted it..at the same time as the others, but this stem seems to be turning a bit purple slowly, oh well ill just let it grow normally now......

[downundadude]

oh yeah and it survived repotting....i was too curious i had to check the root growth....

[youngcity]

so is it still doiing pretty good? would love to see an update of how things are going.

lol hahah yeah its going ok i think...l the stem turned red and stoped growing for a while so i basically tiped it, ,yes at this age i know not smart but these are just stuff around clones. and in 2 days after that new sets of leaves and shoots came out straigt away and is taking off wildly on the window seeal now, i predict males... when its a little bigger in a few weeks im gonna tri and take cuttings of my flowering female and join it on to the stem of this clone... i have also considered getting another strain and trying to brranch that.....and i have to repot soon as the roots are just sticking out the bottom of the pot this thing is gonna take off... man i this is gonna be one fucked up plant hahahaha poor thing

[downundadude]

well this little sucker is flowering now, it was taken from the mother 32 days ago , this is the one i used the rooting gel solution to water the roots in the first week the roots are just out the bottom off the pot, and it the 32 days of it own pot the stem went redish and only grew 2cm higher, im guessing this flowering is bad because the plant is so small and probably wont grow out much now, or hahaha it will hahaha just grow one bud like a stick of fairy floss, i wish...hahahah or the most likely outcome will be death!!!! so im just gonna leave it on the window seal and see what happens,

or option1: what would happen if i cut the flowering bits off? would it grow more bud sites?

option2: sell it for 50bucks to a no brainer telling them its the best strain going around hhahha and go buy a baggie with the profits

option3: give it to my sisters cat

kick ass.....
