Unclebergs Not true germination, as I’m attempting cloning from a mother for the first time. We’ll see if I have transplant success into the 1G coco bags and Hugo blocks… The cloning machine developed great roots, but then I had to split open the plugs to get the roots in without damage. After taking cuts from Mother, I made a 45 degree cut on the stem about a half inch beneath a node. Dipped in clone rooting gel, cut half the leaves off (half of each leaf), and then put in cloner. Cloner was filled with 0.5EC 5.8PH Athena feed (Pro line). After roots appeared, I transplanted them into coco coins and rockwool plugs that had been soaked in 1.0EC 5.8ph feed. Because I didn’t want to damage the roots, I had to split open the plugs. Not a very efficient way to do it. Next time I’m either cloning directly into plugs or I’m using loose coco / small rockwool chunks to transplant the clones into their final homes.
