Took my first clones ever! I almost fumbled the labeling on these ladies and mixed them up. Now I have little flags on each clone. I took two clones per plant to account for error and failure. On most plants, I took the bottom two branches as cuttings.
Went the aeroponic route and made a budget cloner. All cuttings were dipped in rooting gel and put into the cloner that sprays 1 min on, 3 mins off. I am trying Jack's cloning nutrient at 420 PPM (2.5g per gallon)and giving a foliar feeding of FOOP mist, about once every other day.
A few hours after cutting, these ladies perked up towards the light and seem happy.

The smallest clones are suffering from lack of humidity since I havent been spraying them as much as I should.
The smallest clone of #1 is showing spikey roots!!! ON DAY 5. Damn

Day 10 since cutting. The clones dont look all that happy but have explosive root growth. I will be planting these ladies tomorrow. Most of the new leaves that grew in the first few days after cuttint have taco'ed and/or curled while turning yellow. Idfk what I could have or should have done to prevent this, but I know that I left way too many leaves on these cuttings.
The #1 clones are chucked since the mother hermed. She only threw a few balls but I would rather keep the phenos that don't have this trait, so I kept the other 4 phenos so far.
Note: All of the little baby cuttings that I figured would not make it for being too wimpy, ended up throwing roots first. And SO MANY ROOTS. The thicker cuttings that were more established took two extra days to throw roots. These thicker cuttings also swelled up like crazy and had roots sprout from the very inside of the stem, pushing the stem flesh away. I'm new to this so I thought this was gnarly lol

Just threw these babies into soil and they seem to be handling it fine. Planted them 10 days after cutting and the roots were just INSANE. From day9 to day10 the roots doubled in length.
Had to toss the clones to #1 since the mother hermed pretty badly. #5 might be on the chopping block next if she gets worse too.
These ladies are going to take a while to recover and revert to veg, which is why I took extras incase they got really shocked and didnt recover.

I transplanted the ladies yesterday into their final pots and then topped them. They are already getting dangerously tall, meaning I may need to flip soonish. So far, these ladies have been way happier than their XXX neighbors. This sucks because if anything, I need these ladies to stay smaller while the XXX ladies explode. Smh
--8/5-- D14 since planting
These ladies are shining!! The structure on #4 and #5 is impressive so far. All four phenos are growing vigorously and look much healthier than the XXX ladies in the tent. Undergrowth is exploding and I'm thinking I will need to flip very soon!
Root development and overall vigor on these plants are extremely impressive. Im excited to see how these ladies turn out.
