Clones

oh, i leave auxiliary buds.. don't take those off.. they are fine.. if they have little leaves, clip them back a bit. the clipping also helps recognize new growth later that isn't clippe doff... time to test some vege lights for 30-60mins.. likely wilt and repeat process over 2-3 days.

Is this a multiple attempt? If from a young plant, it won't root very easily, if at all... After about 60 days give or take, often less, you can get a viable clone off a plant-from-seed. When i kept it simple, i went form some failures to nearly 0. In fact, i haven't had a clone not root since i've kept it simple. Hve all your tools ready and sanitized. a cutting board of some sort etc. good to have your hands washed too. Take off more than you intend to use. you will cut it to size later. place it in water immediately (properly pH'd water). Make a 45-degree cut just below the lowest node you keep. Do notmutilate the node. Don't cut into the node. You will only slow the process down. Remove all but ~3 leaves. Clip those leaves back to 1/2 or 2/3rds or so. This helps reduce photosynthesis (good i nthis case) and loss of moisture (i don't even use a humidity dome... ever). improves airflow, which helps avoid bad microbial growth. upto you -- gently scrap the top-most layer off stem below the lowest node (the one you are burying with a 45-degree slash underneath it) Do not damage the vascular tissue. Scrape, don't slice.It's a different angle so you only take off a tiny tiny layer. upto you -- use some root hormone. do not pay for a brnad name. This is like generics at a phramacy. Less is more. If using powder, coat and immediately tap off before it turns to caked on mud. throw out all contaminated root hormone. do not dip into the container, that's retarded. optional -- i like to find cloning opportunities that offer 2 nodes i can bury. they need to be close to gether. I also want 4-5 or more above ground. The larger the cutting th emore you have to be concerned it cannibalizes itself while it has no roots. Anyway, this isn't neccessary, but nodes are going to power root growth when deprived of light and moist. bury it in the soil you use -- assuming it inst extremely "hot" andi sn't devoid of something akin to perlite. It does need nutes, but it won't be drinking much without roots. So, initial fertilization of the soil will be good for 1-2 weeks. When it dries, give pH'd only irrigation. The main key is keeping it moist. Unlike other times, i would not let the soil go dry on top.. certain not 1" deep anyway. maybe a centimeter deep. Within 2-3 weeks it'll have a robust enough root system to transplant, if you used a solo cup or similar to start. The only benefit of that is it is much easier to water. Big pot / small plant is bad.. even worse with a clone. After all that, i bet it was age of the donor plant... try some root hormone if that is the case.. i'd be curious. I'm going to attempt an early clone soon myself... i never had root hormone before with my initial trials and tribulations cloning.

Hello.. Hope you are well.. Personally i keep my clones on 24hrs..i have a mother/clone cupboard (diary's on my homepage).. If ur mom is a healthy mother her clones will take quicker.. Keep them moist,keep them warm and just b patient.. For example.. Lately i took 2 clones from 3 different strains.. 2 came thru within 14days and 2 have taken 25days..the 25day clones came from a very poorly mother.. Open ur propagator every day to get fresh air in and empty stail water condensed but keep the vents closed until u get roots.. If ur medium drys out then just slightly dampen them with plain ph6 water and put bak into propagator.. Ur clones rooting medium shud not feel cold to the touch.. U also want them under roughly the same light intensity (slightly less maybe) they wer take n from.. Take a look at my mom/clone diary n hope this helps.. Stay safe n gud luck.. 👍🍀

Another piece of advice is to make it 90 degree cut about a half inch below a node. Than clear that node as well. That will give u much more surface area to take in water and to form roots. Check out my grow. Lotz of good info about running clones.

Thank you good sir, I really do appreciate your advice. Puts me at ease, as I learn I will pass my knowledge down as well.

Next time look into making a DIY bubble cloner. U can open and check for roots and plant once roots have formed. Usually new growth In atleast 10 days... some strains 5 days. If u do a light tug at the main stem does it seem to be anchored by roots? Or does it lift freely. Good way to tell if ur rooted. Cloning and propagation just takes practice and patience. Ull figure out what works for u and ur environment.

Yes I did us rooting powder and cut them on an angle. The roots should be doing their thing. I put some into dirt and the rest in the juffy moss pucks, just to see what works better. All are green and pretty sure the roots are growing, when should I see growth on the plants?

I prefer an 18/6 light cycle for clones and or from seed. those little girls need some rest.. Did you dip them into a rooting solution? Did you make your cut at an angle? or straight across?
