Successful clones

Experimentgreenstarted grow question 4 years ago
How do I get this plant to let me clone her? I've tried everything, clone powder + clone gel, just clone gel, just clone powder. High humidity moderate light! No success! Maybe this blue monkey strain just doesn't clone well?

What's up my friend? Hey I saw your posts on someone else's grow page and seems we ha e similar Intretests by ur name. What are u using for plugs? And what products have u tried to use so far? My experience, and I was a die hard rapid rooter groupie for a while, root riot/ clonex with about 1/16" of 1/4 tsp clonex per 2 liter PhD water at the base of the prop tray is hard to beat. I've pulled some late late growth of the very bottom of a few girls on auto runs ( I mean late late flower) in order to reverse the small cutting to reverse and save the genetics and this combo has almost 100% success actual it's 90%+ but still great great success... When u take a cutting to you scratch you cutting before u dip? As some recommend? I've even found I've had just a good success with this combo w/o cutting any fan leaves to promote root growth just cut dip and ride out. Almost everything I do has been some sort of mad scientist experiment for the past couple yrs...I ha e a shitload more to say but DNT wanna leave a dictionary on ur pg. Lol I'll be watching what I do man I find it fascinating as well

Try to crush the stem a week before cuting. Crush at the point that you plant to cut the branch very early in the morning. Or just before lights would come on. Also stop feeding nitrogen a week before cutting. Then have the soil a little deeper than usual. Some strains are just harder to clone.

1 tablespoons of unpasteurized honey mixed into 2 cups of boiling water, let cool ,dip your stems into the mix and your ready to go. Home made stim root that works everytime for me. It will last a couple of weeks if you keep it dark. DIY Bubble cloner and you got it made

oh, i do a gently, very gentle scrap of the outer layer of the stem in a few spots around it -- do not cut into the vascular tissue, if you do this. I do that before the powder. 45-degree angle and such.. below node, don't mutilate nodes! keep it out of strong light, and you'll have more success i bet. if you dn't need a humidity dome (some contexts do). By end of 2nd day my leaves are standing up, not droopy without one. after 10-14 days slowly acclimate to light.. if it flops, you remove it.. if it recovers later in day, try again or wait for tomorrow. If you nested your tranluscent cup, you can see a root and that's a good time to start... they also get extra perky when the roots are more than a 1" nub. This process takes 2-3 days... then within 1 week you'll be tranplanting, if not sooner.

Age of the plant can impact this. Younger plants are harder to clone, but your nodes are asymmetrical so that denotes some maturity. Don't over do the powder. Dab and tap it off. Less is more. Throw out the poder that's been contaminated. Weak light.. Like a 7.5W 500lumen LED is enough... you only want to prevent the hormonal balance from flipping to bloom -- i.e. provide more than ~15 hours of light. 16-18 hours to be safe. This will take ~2-3 weeks for the plant to grow roots before a transplant. don't touch it, don't fiddle with it, don't tug at it checking for roots during this time. Leave it alone. Water as needed. Keep it simple. Just plant it in a cup of soil or coco or whatever substrate you use. If you use a transluscent cup, nest it inside an opaque cup as darkness is good for the rootzone. Cut on more off the plant than you intend to use -- the entire limb. From top count to at least 6 nodes. I like to find 2 nodes close together near bottom, but that's not too important. You'll bury the bottom 1-2 nodes. Snip off any axillary growth near soil. Trim leaves up to reduce loss of moisture. Reduce solar panels, but leave axillary growth that can be worth somethign later, or it takes forever for those axillary buds to re-develope. Check out my 4-plant grow split into 4 diaries.. you can see the progress of 4 clones taken from a plant that was only 40-some days old. By 16-18 days they are all transplanted and now vigorously growing in a 3-gallon pot. Aeroponics are probably faster, but don't bother with pellets or rockwool unless they are integral to something -- like a dwc can have soil in it, for example. If you plan ahead a bit, you can get clones ready even if they take "2" days longer. The first 10-14 days tehy don't even need to be in your vegetative area.. They can just sit on a desk somewhere collecting ambient light. first day may need a prop of some sort, but by 2nd day they will stiffen up if the substrate is moist. Water after you plant it, it helps seal the soil around the stem -- important for water uptake. Fun fact: You can wrap a node in some wet paper towel, deprive it of light further so it is pitch black, but you can still wet the paper towel. The node you wrap up will start to grow roots. You can take a cut below this root growth and have a head start :P Seriously, this would work.

Take cutting dip it in gel and leave it in it for 10 min. Then dip it in powder. Put it in your substrate and put it in a dome. Keep it in the dark for 24 hrs Then give it 20 hrs of light for the next 10 days and keep humidity at 70-90%

Take cutting 6-10 inches. Put directly into water after making your cut. Make a new 90 degree cut inch blow lowest node. Than clear that node out giving u a cut on bot side. Plus ur 90 degree to get much more surface area to take in water and produce roots. Put ur cut into a container of rooting gel to take a minute bath. As shes bathing...Get a root plug pre moistened. Get a humidity dome and mist the walls and trap the moisture in to get ur rh up. Than get ur cut out of her bath and put her into the plug. Than put plug into ur humidity dome to marinate. Everg day re apply moisture to your dome. Every second day clean your dome, than mist it back up. You dont want pm to take over it dome at such high humidity. When u take the dome off to clean it... it also gives time to allow fresh air exchange for ur clones. Should see roots quickly. Happy growing and stay lit fam.
