CLONING FOR PERFECTION

we are attempting to clone some plants, my clones are all wilting and dying. I think I would like to try one of the suggestions I read, cutting and leaving in 1in of spring water. What is the humidity suppose to stay at for the week that they are rooting? Also, do you use any additives or wait for them to go into the soil. Once they are transplanted do you keep the humidity around 75 or 85 or lower? help

is it okay to water my plant with h202

Why are the nodes of my clones rotting?

jiarocketco and HELP. sounds like you have spider mites. all hydro stores sell sprays to kill most cannabis pests.

can you help me how to clone in a soil.

by the way this is just a two foot starter plant so the branches aren't that big, -1/4 inch

i have a big plant that split to two big branches, each growing a lot of leaves on each. the smaller of the two cracked off but isn't completely broken off. looks like it's wilting. how do i save it without ruining it or my plant? has lots of good buds starting.

What temperature range for that oside?

hey lude...if ur plants too big, clone that bad boy. Use "Vita Grow" rooting compound, dip cuttings for 10 sec. 5 to 6 days u should have roots. Remember if ur tap water is to hard use disstilled bottled water, and a couple drops of "Super Thrive". Adjust ur Ph between 5.8-6.0, and good luck.

I have A primo plant and have to move, can i dig it up or what should i do? Is cloning an option? If so how do you clone?

ive got little black bugs on the leaves that leave webs in my plant what do i do?

buy a tent like structure to keep the air as humid as possible. as long as your rooting solution was kept dry, you should have no problems. simpily cut your clones on a 45 degree angle, keeping them as wet as possible before putting them in the rooting solution. dip clipping 1.5 inches in. make sure there isn't an excessive amount of rooting solution(causes bacteria build up and cause stress the new clone).
DO NOT TAKE MORE THAN 6 CLONES PER PLANT AT A TIME- this cuases too much stress for the plant and it may die. wait a week and start again.
If you're using the dirt puck like soil, once you're able to see the roots its ready to be transplanted. happy growing everyone

this is my friest plant and me and my friends just grabed some dirt off the groun and i stool seeds from my brother and its ben like 4 or 5 days know and just yester day i found out it sprouted and i looks like good stuf cant wait till my plant gets biger gonna take care of it

ive got little black bugs on the leaves that leave webs in my plant what do i do?

you can buy rockwool at http://www.greenacreshydro.com they can deliver rite to your door. i recomend gettin the bcuzz brand they work the best. trust me i work in the hydroponics industy. you can get everything you need from there to start growing amd get the max yeild.

where do u get rockwool cubes from?

when you clone just take the cliping and cut the end at a 45 degree angle then put it in spring water.NO root hormone!! only put the end of the stem 1 inch in the water.leave it under a florecent light for about a week give or take.you will see it starting to root then transplant it into dirt.ihave had a 100 percent sucess rate doing it like this.

wot room temp should i have for my cuttings

my electrics got wet and had no power in my grow room for a few days they were 3 weeks from harvest but never got any water or light will this destroy my whole crop

when is the latest you can take a cutting from a plant?

how can i start clones in soil ?

this is for scott it's real ez..............................go get a tupperware bowl what ever size u like.you need a fish-tank pump and air stone plus tubing.use whatever type of rooting hormone you like,i use power clone and powder,mix it in your water turn on ur pump.place clones in whatever you think will hold them upward.and in 7 days you'll have healthy clones.this way is a 99.9 this is the best way to go. try it and let me know.

I have a question. After the first few days under a plastic dome with heat mat below, the temp gets high, as does the humidity. I tried turning off the heat mat abnd let it 'cool down' for a few more days, but the heat stays in there, probably from the lights.
Here's my question....how and when do you start to 'wean' the plants of the high humidity dome, and all that heat....
....I've tried really slow, after the first week take the dome off for just 30 minutes before putting it back on, then again in 2 hours....this kind of thing.
But my plant cuttings wilt. How do you guys get the cuttings ready for regular room temperature and humidity...just prior to transplanting in rockwool block ?

They always seem so tender and frail, then wilt on me.

Thanks for any help.

true DJ, but.....you want to transplant the plants as little as you possibly can.....plus, im a firm believer in organic compounds, miracle grow adds chemicals to the plants that ive personally fuck people up....and not in a good way!!

i found that if u let a dro plat grow in a hrydopontic kit for the first half of flowerin then transfer it to 75% poting soil and 25% merical grow it makes the plant go on a growing frenzy my whole plant turned white withe crystalz all over it.

how do you root the seed?

dude just buy some super thrive from walmart and some hydrogen peroxide , ok heres what you do mix 8 drops of super thrive 1 teaspoon of peroxide 3 % and one gallon of water soak your peat pellets in the solution , clip the clones to 3 or 4 leaves stick it in the pellet put it under a cake box with a big plastic lid and put a small styrofoam cup inside with it for extra humidity , when the water evaporates it has nowhere to go but in the air , i have like 100% success the super thrive makes the plants root and the peroxide keeps parasites and the roots from rotting becuz of the h2o2 in it . good luck if u do it this way u will have 100% success.

ima 18 year old newbie grower from N.B haha got some growing but not sure how long its gonna work :( making some new clones to try out for the summerlol

i grow in the wilds of alaska, i grow indoors with a 400 mh for budding and a 4 ft fluorescent and a 150 hps for vegging. i've grown northern lights x hash plant, very potent strain, gotta thank RS for that 1, i also grow skunk#11 from dutch passion seed company that my friend from germany sent me via usps,8.1% thc, another potent 1,when i say wilds of alaska i mean wilds of alaska, in february when it's -40 degrees below 0, it's 75 degrees in my grow room and it's green inside, even when it's white and frozen outside. even in the wild's of alaska weed will grow. keep it green & keep on growing. alaskanMnM

my 5 mother plants have now reached the point of sexing and then on to cloning. I've performed this procedure once prior with satisfactory success. Where is the best place on the stem to make the cut with the blade? Should it be a verticle or horizontal slice near a stem node? Does the root hormone formula go bad after a couple of years? Power vs. liquid formula? Should I dissect the Mother plant like a Thanksgiving turkey or keep some of it intact? These are 2nd generation Bubblegum seeds that I cross pollinated from last yrs. crop. Only one outdoors plant fully developed with a high resin content and the smoke was very delicious, but alas - it went quickly. The best dope around here all comes from my sons high school buddies but what is this about selling by grams. I just throw them a C-note and tell 'em to bring me back the smoke. I have grown every single fucken year since 1968, when I was 16. I'm 55 years old now, bought a house, started a business and have raised my family and been married to the same woman for 26 years. Have I gone nutso or ready for rehab - not even close. Praise the THC gods and keep it illegal. Otherwise we lose the "undergrown mentality" and the fellowship that we share. It's a seed, put it in water, some good soil, under a couple HPS light and a brain-dead monkey could make it bud. Keep it simple - If all the leaders of the world got together and smoked some bud, there would be no more problems in this world. Throw down the weapons and pick up the pipes. Let's smoke some "nuclear" instead of bombing people with it. Freedom to all the bothers and sisters of the green bud and may 2008 rid us of that facist George Bush and his facists group of supporters. Elect Obama, he smoked and did inhale (pardons to dumbshit Bill Clinton) As B. Dylan said, "The times, they are a changing.." Just make em change.
Peace out - grow big!

MY seed have just popped and they don't look like weed starts did someone rip me off just kidding

I have found that putting a little vodka or gin in the water helps clones draw up water. And has increased my success rate. Just a little...

what would happen if you crossed a indica strain female plant with some sativa mail polin an would the seeds come out super bud or big bud

man i envy any1 who successfully can clone

Go to Ace Hardware and look for "Greenlight Rooting Hormone." It should only be about $4. It has worked well for me. I usually take my cutting and lighty shave down the stem 1 1/2 inches from the base of the cutting. I rub that into the rooting powder then cut the stem again at the bottom so the stem isn't clogged with rooting powder... works good for me and its cheap. I still have the same stuff so it last a while...

Yiou can use plain water just change it a couple times, if not several times a day. You can build a cheap bubbler system with a tupperware container I seen on sale for 1.97 at wally world. Het a aquarium air pump. long air stone, cut a couple hole in the top to let the stem hang into the water just a bit or right above the water. Never let the stems dry out!! Put a couple drops of peroxide to help stop rot before it can even happen. Add a couple drops of superthrive to speed it up.

what the fuck go for it u bloody english fools start the big one.www 111

can u clone with only using water in a cup?????? i am cheap

dude that good peoty

Thanks Idiot Proof! It sounds like a great procedure you have. I'm just and old fart trying to grow my own meds. Since I got my "card", I've started my crop with seeds and just before flowering I tried cloning. The reason is I had to throw 7 great looking plants away as they males and I didn't want to go through that again. Since I'm on a budget I bought a clear outdoors plant dome for $6.00. Then I got some cheap root powder at Wally-World and also some 2" square peat pots. I mixed vermiculite 50/50 with standard potting soil. Since I am limited by law as to how many plants I can have I took 3 cutting from lower sections of the plant and did what Jorge's book told me to do. After I stuck the cuts I put water in the bottom a round pan, put a spacer in the water so the containers where supported just over the water level, and covered them with the clear dome under T5/FL tubes. I did mist them 2-3 times daily as I live in a super dry area. They did show some stress signs like wilting but they came out of it. The upper leaves stayed green but the lower ones slowly yellowed towards the end. In about 18 days roots came out of the bottom of the peat pots! Yippie! I thought it was supposed to hard? The clones look just like mom and they are super vigerous. They even showed sex before going into veg stage. It's turned into a fun hobby for and old guy and keeps me off the shuffle board courts.

My humble apologies.

The water level is adjusted to 1/4 from the top before you pop in any clones, not three days later!

This sytem is cheap, easy and has worked faithfully for years.

Back to my roach.

Dump that water using a piece of air tube as a siphon. An ear bulb works great for starting an air tube water siphon. A wooden clothes pin will hold it in place as is drains. Add a very weak level of the hydro-nutes of your choice to your fresh water and adjust the Ph to 5.2. Your clone bed is ready.

Note: DO NOT use the Oasis cube factory hole, but make your own in any mid-corner. Poke a deep hole with the toothpick and draw it back out, do no widen it.

Cut the 6” clones from the tops for the best babies and dip them immediately rather than making a pile to do later. Cutting them to size on a clean wooden clothes pin chopping block, works for me. Either a straight or a diagonal cut is okay and dip them deep.

Place each clone in ALMOST to the bottom. If you poke through just draw it back up 1/3" or 1/2".

Cover with the clear dome and leave it alone for three days. Leave town if you like.

Remove the dome and leave it off. Cut off any shriveled leaves and leave it alone another three days, then change the water to the new level, 1/4 from the top. The clone-cubes live happiest in water up to their necks.

Your babies are spared the shock of wilted dehydration using this method.

Change the water every three days, clip off the dead stuff and leave it alone. Enjoy the show as they root unattended!

loveandblessings!

and we're off and running!

A gift to my brethren. Idiot-Proof Clones

Parts: 18 each 1 1/2" oasis cubes, new razor blade, toothpick, rooter-dip of your choice, tray with high dome cover, aquarium pump, line, air stone, 18" 20w florescent light, 2’x2’ photo plastic sheet or white paper.

Set up your light 12-14' over where the tray sits. You can use any wall shelf for this. Mount the light to the bottom side of the upper shelf securely with screws. Set your tray under it on your working shelf. Use a sheet of photo plastic to cover the front. Constant air circulation is critical. Enough to influence a match light is enough. A little more is better. Use a small fan indirectly if in closet.

Place up to 18 cubes in the tray and fill it with enough water to cover them. Set the air stone in center and weight it down with a stainless steel nut or a glass rod to keep it submerged. Use nothing that’ll rust. Clip, strap or clamp the hose into place and don’t let it obstruct the on-off of the cover. Let it stand overnight.
