So today I got a new Cutting from a friend.

I have it in my box now in about a 12-16oz dixie filled with soil/perlite.
When we cut it we didnt have clone gel so we just dipped it in water and put it in the soil then watered the cup with some water that has nutes mixed in.

I'm new to all tis so I don't know what I should do.

I have it in the cup with a sandwich bag over the top to keep it really humid, (my box is not humid at all right now).

its sitting under 8 26 Watt CFL 6500K(total 12800 Lumens). timers set to 18on/6off
It's running about 90 deg F

What should I do??

I need to get more soil still so I can move when roots take hold
How do I know when they have?

Also, best soil and nutes to get from home depot or walmart?

hmm i cant give you the most advice on cloning (never done it) but i can tell you this, 90 deg F is WAY to high. anything above 85 is not good, and still 85 is still pushing it id get those temps dropped ASAP.
as far as what you should do, is just wait it out and see if it makes it. i donno how well they will be able to grow roots without rotting gel, just keep it humid as u are doing and get the temps to between 65-85, i bought my nutes at lowes , my first grow i used mirical grow Potting soil and mirical All purpose plant food. and thats what im using on my current grow right now and have had no problems with it.
Good luck with ur little one

First, be careful with nutes this young. Clones are delicate enough, you'll nute burn them quick.

Second, make sure you're venting (removing) that bag at least once a day so the air around the clone doesn't get stale. And consider an anti-transpirant spray instead of the bag.

Third, see what you can do to lower those temps by about 10*F.

Fourth, "best" soil is a big argument...just go with the Miracle Grow or Scotts or whatever you can find, just don't skimp on cost. Spend a few extra bucks on "good stuff". Most soils from Wal-Mart will probably have some nutes in it, so read over the bag carefully, and think about it when you go to fertilize again. If you can find anything from Fox Farm, get it.

Don't stress. It's pretty easy to grow this weed, all the "advanced" stuff is for squeezing out perfection.

What a clone gel does is introduce an acid that eats at the stem coating and promote root growth. It helps alot if you guys did use some but you can clone without using it. Just takes longer to root and success rate goes down. Becareful with using nutrients on cuttings alot of people kill their babies with fertilization kindness. Good Soils have enough nutrients to sustain and promote growth for cuttings and/or seedlings for days. 90 degrees is way too hot put in a fan if you can. That is why I clone into rockwool prior to placing in soil. Once I see a healthy root system coming out then I transplant. Maybe someone else would have a suggestion for you on that topic from here.

The fertilizer is very diluted. its almost all water with just a little bit of his nute water that was already mixed.

I'll give it less from now on though. just clean water for now?

To combat the heat I turned 4 of my 26watt CFLs off, leaving it with the other 4.

I'm only growing one plant so my original estimate on lighting is way over.
I was planning on 2 plants from seed originally, but he let me have a cutting so I was like sure!

I remove the bag a few times and spray it with filtered water a little to keep it humid.

Hopefully she makes it!!

I'm doing that shortly.

I have 1 exahust fan plugged in and running, but I just have a hole for intake right now. Pretty sure thats the problem.haha

I have to rewire the fan to plug in the wall then hopefully all will be well.

But how do I keep the humidity in my box with all that circulation?

will the lower heat keep in the moisture??
