Mothers Durban Poison (DP), Café Racer (CR), Wedding Cake (WC) & Pineapple Express (PE): This week was disappointing for my PE clones x3 to turn into a mother. This was my first attempt at cloning and my technique was wrong. I cut, shaved the stem, cut again at a 45 angle, & split the end thinking it would help root before placing them into soil. No cloning gel, no underwater water cuts, & over watered them causing all of them to mold up and die. Only 1 actually rooted but full of mold. Threw them all out to contain contamination. DP, CR, & WC all exploding with growth and was able to easily able to take clones from them. Took the following clones: DPx2, CRx2, & WCx1. Could have taken many more. We will see how they take to rooting with Cloning Gel, 45 Angle cut & one side shaved to white all underwater. Placed Mycorrhizae in the premade hole in the soil for a root boost as well. CR mother is drinking its 2-Gal pot dry daily. I can't seem to water it enough. I've also decided to only Perma Veg WC as a mother. I will perpetually clone the other strains instead. It is far riskier to bank on perpetual clones, but it saves room in my tent. I understand Genetics break eventually as well. I'm hoping I'll get 20 generations before this happens. Due to this decision, I will be ending this grow diary. 😟 I'll be Flipping to Flowering DP, CR, & PE ending their Motherhood. 😁 I've prepped them for the Flip with some defoliation and LST. Thanks for following the grow.
@Jaked, Thank you I wanted a bit of variety. Durban Poison 100% sativa, Cafe Racer 70/30, Pineapple Express 60/40, and Wedding Cake 20/80, Sativa/Indica ratios. One to keep me up and one to knock me out and everything inbetween lol.
The purpose of high Rh is only to keep the seed shell moist, the minute you see the cotyloden leave is when drop Rh, the back of the leaves have small mouths called stomata if the water content of the air is above 70% the stomata will start to close to prevent suffocation.
Bacterial growth explodes above 77f, throw in moisture for any length of time with a Rh of 70+ is asking for trouble.
Good luck.
Put a wet towel. This will keep up a much more stable RH. As the plants will such in that mist, u know what you're doing so. Whatever works. Good luck with your strains some nice 1
