Time to grow our own

YEE HAA,I got roots on some of the clones can't believe how happy it made me feel success. First time i ever cloned 2 out of 10 look dead but others look great roots on 4 that i looked at so check them again tomorrow afternoon.Will post pics for you as well some root porn.

Ha ha root porn, wierd what turns you on when your growing innit?
I'd say 8 out of 10 is pretty good, you using any rooting hormone? How did you take your clones? I'm gonna be doing some soon, so any tips you got would be helpful. If you wanna check my thread and let me know what u think of my little grow its at http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?p=1014243

Hi all well nothing spectacular but roots all the same.

Hudson. I cut my clones at a 45 degree just below the 4th node.Then dipped them in clonex rooting gel.then put then straight in rockwool cubes.then straight into the propogator which has a layer of hydroton clay pebbles to stop my roots hitting the bottom because i dont have a heating mat.I misted the dome three times a day then once a day after a week so they get use to less humidity to prepare them to come out and into the system.
Hope that helps.:thumbsup:

Hi all,

I'm impressed by all the greenness as a non-grower. Very parched around here in South Wales......it's enough to turn your fingers green!

But one thing that bothers me, do those HPS lights get very hot? They seem to be something of a fire hazard.
Cheers

Hi jess,

Yeah they do get red hot but the one i use is aircooled.no fire hazard really if you do your grow room properly.if your thinking of growing you could try fluorescent lights like the T5 are great for seeds cuttings and vegging.

Take it easy jess.

Thanks for that floyd, only tried cloning a couple of times, my success rate was only about 50/50, but i cut at the 3rd node so i'll wait for the 4th and hopefully more should survive.

no worries m8 i will help if i can.I just learned you should use superthrive before and after cloning to help the plant develop new growth. As well as foliar feeding for about 2 weeks before cutting as well so i got my additives today (superthrive)(nitrozyme)and(liquid oxygen)So i know i still have a lot to learn.This was my first go at cloning suppose we have to do to learn.

Goodluck with future attempts. :thumbsup:

here's how the clones are today good healthy roots. put them in the nft in a day or 2.And will update again once they have been in the system and show change.
