The cuttings were from a friend of a friend, delivered with the stems in folded paper towels soak in water and placed in a gallon sized zip lock bag. Lasted a few days at room temp. Cuttings were deep bright green with young, healthy stems and clean sharp cuts on a 45 degree angle. They were immediately placed in room temp h20 with a splash of h202 and put under a 30 watt led shop light directly over head for 48 hours.
Each clone was then roved from the water, generously dipped into rooting hormone powder, and planted directly into 80% FFHF and 20% perlite. Watered with mist bottle until substrate was soaked all the way. Careful not to wash off all of the rooting hormone.
The solo cups were all prepared by cutting off the bottoms of the cups and placing them onto an perforated aluminum tray inside of a second tray. I placed the bottoms of the cups that I cut off between the trays to create space (create space... am I God???). Then I filled the bottom 1/2" of the solo cups with pure perlite, which when wet will lock the cups into place. Then I filled loosely with premixed perlite and FFHF. Still mostly dry. I only used enough water help the perlite hold down the cups.
Using my finger, I made a divot in each cup to place each of the cuttings. As I gently inserted the stem into the hole, I carefully packed in the soil around it just enough to hold it upright. I used a spray bottle to water each one slowly title saturated- once daily. On day two I started using FF Nutrients as listed each week.
I put the two trays into a large clear storage bin to act as a humidity dome. It had a big crack in the top to let some air in and out. It worked very well. I opened it and let it breathe once or twice a day each time until the sides cleared from the condensation. They loved that box and the lights in the tent. it was about 85% and 85 degrees.
@Hammerhead420, CLONING IS SO SIMPLE. There are always little shoots you can clip from a plant without reducing yield (it can often increase yield if done right) I make sure they are young but have at least three or four nodes already.
Just stick em in water and reduced intensity light for 24/7 for a few days or so and then some soil. They should root in a week or two. Keep humidity up around 70% and 70degrees F. I have already pulled clippings from these plants and have new clones ready to root. If you have the right type of plant, you can just grow one mother pant and pull clippings to veg and flower. No more seeds. Root structures are a little different but it's still pretty much the same after that. Plus it shaves about two weeks off of your harvest date as opposed to starting from seeds and vegging to same size.
heyyyy...
chopped one biatch MAC 1 down cuz she was looking scraggly... just tossed some of her 2-day dry at 45% popcorn in the volcano... not bad flavor and her terms were so ripe and tangy and soooooooo smooth... nutrient flush my-ass... cool heady buzz.
