rootone?

[brookerosebud]

thanx bear,

i'm not going to flower off the clones until they veg out to maybe 12 inches tall? i cloned 2 of each so when i kill off the males, and male clones, i'll have two each of the females; one for flower and on for a mom. if i end up with more than three females, i'll pick the best to make moms. i only have the room for three mother plants so...

as far as the nutes, i'll take your advice and flush lightly tonite (they were flushed decently just b4 switching over) and wait until the 11th day of flower to give phosphorous based nutes. have you ever heard of a product called super bloom (aka to feed and seed, super phosphorous)? it is like 10 55 8 or something. supposed to make flowers "explode" with growth. don't know but i might try it on two of the bagseed clones if no one has tried this stuff (yeh, i'm a sucker for scientific experimentation!) thank you much, bear. you've helped tremendously.

i am going to clone the other four this evening. i have the pots set up out in the rain to get nice and soaked (free ph balanced water! lol) should i follow rootone directions again or would you have me try something different this time?

and to knowm, sorry but this pic is almost 2 years old, and the only one saved on the computer. sorry :P

b back soon, guys

love, brooke

With the cloneing, I would do what worked for you the first time. With the Super Bloom, I have herd good things about it, I will try to get some more info, and se if we can dial it in for you, or it may just be as simple as following the directions off of the bottle.

i've heard the same about difficulties cloning bb. do you have any other thechniques or advice that could help me get these off the ground

Big fan of this method, check out the thread - lot's of people who couldn't clone are now happy cloners

cloned plants 2,3,4, and 5 got them back in the veg box in a dark corner (well, shadowed corner i gess) i'm going to see if they do better in a cooler, doarker environment. i topped one that had not been topped and accidently got a clone and two mini clones! new branches with only 2 leaves and no nodes to bury, but they were cut directly from the node....

will be interesting to see if the mini's make it.

as to a previous question of yours bear, i'm cloning in bacto potting soil (starter soil) i just read a thread about a clone box built for under 10$ i'll try that one next time.

talk atcha later!

bear, i turned off cfl's over first eight clones, figured i've been cooking them (and i have) they are kinda yellowish green. still misting, but i don't know. they aren't dead yet. new eight in the shade look excellent right now. no wilting, discolour, ...

let me know what you think bear... you too knowm, i had lights low on them as you said. rooted clones are doing great but the blueberrys... like i said, at least their not dead.

help guys, is it too late for the burned out clones?

love brooke

Clones that are not rooted need very very little light. One 42 watt cfl is enough for 20 clones. You can keep the light 6 inches or more from your rootless babies. Once they root, you should lower the light. I apologize for not being more clear earlier.

I was just going to say the same thing as GK about the low light need for unrooted clones. Clones can be very hardy and I wouldn't give up on them yet.
I had one clone that I abused beyond belief and she is holding on, and looks like she is going to be a mother for me.
I just took about 15 clones last night, and they are doing pretty good so far, but I am sure I am going to play the worried parent act for the next few days.

i've remedied the light prob. clones are looking kinda worse for wear, but they have picked up a little in the last few hours. if they don't make it, i'll take more clones; plants have been in flower 4days.

i'm almost finished with the new lights for the flower box. lights are hung through the cieling of the box, now i have to wire them to the main lines. the way i have the cfl's placed insures that not one square inch will be unlighted. it looks impressive even without the lights being on!

i'll be back and forth tonite, so i'll let you guys know when everything is finished. i have until 7:30 tomorrow to finish the box (and then the lights go off)

love, brooke

ps i have mixed up safer's to spray on outdoor but it is still raining, i'll have to wait until in the morning. buds are starting to get heavy. i'll also have to feed tomorrow as she has been extremely and thoroughly flushed.

have you found anything about super bloom, bear? i'm going to get some the next time i go into town. i've some roses that would like it regardless.

be back soon

[brookerosebud]

arrrrr!!!!! ran out of electrical tape! still have 4 lights left to go. oh well, it'll just have to wait for tomorrow. i'm putting the other four plants in the box in a few minutes, i'll fix the rest of the lights when they come on tomorrow evening.

love, brooke

ps its like the sun in there! IM BLIND, IM BLIND! lol
good night
