Hey Guys I hope I have this cloning thing down pat. Its day 3 and I am still not seeing any wilting or other dying symptoms. Comment on the pics if you like. Just one quick question I have heard 2 different stories about watering clones, Spray them with a mild nute solution 2-3 days and have a tray of water underneath the plants to encorage root growth, and another is to water the cubes directly so they are "moist" any opinions on this? How do you guys water clones?... I am due for a watering soon Im thinking anyway the cubes are getting lighter.

Cheers kwaka

As far as i know, you want damp but not wet cubes, and mist them as well. Im not sure you want nutes in the mist..maybe a drop of superthrive and maybe some special rooting nutes, but not standard nutes i dont think.

The damp rockwool will keep the stem soft, and encourage the plant to seek water there. It will do this by growing roots. You mist the plant, and keep humidity up as until roots are grown the plant has no access to water.

Im sure you dont want things too wet, just misted.

Im still new, this is what i understand from reading threads...please let me know if im making a mistake.

yeah cheers... The local hydro shop guy said a B-1 Solution... superthrive, rhizotonic, etc

cheers kwaka

Oh for sure, b1 is anti stress and there are a few other compounds that really help the little clones get going. Definitely use them as directed. Sounds like you are gonna have some success! congrats.

Do you have a grow journal on here? Id love to pop in and see it if you do...

keep the rockwool damp.. don't wet them.. as for watering, do it whenever the leaves are dry. i give mine a good spray 3-4 times a day, keep the rockwool moist by spraying it as well but never wet!! dont be shy, as Prot3us1 said, folier feeding is the only way the plant has access to water until the roots grow..

Your clones are quite big as well..... you could have had 4 clones out the one you got in there...

Yeah I had to top the mothers anyway, I thought I would have a good start if they were big enough to flower straight away. Well This morning after I posted I waterd my cuttings with a few mls of ph'd water on the rockwool for dampness and I also gave the area a quick mist for humidity. While I had the dome off I turned the fans off *BIG MISTAKE* with my stoner memory I forgot to turn them back on and cooked my cuttings room was 32 farenhite when I checked them at 6pm, My mothers have a few more good cutting sites on it atm I may have to try again, This time with smaller cuttings and more of them.

Cheers kwaka...

P.s. This was a noob error, caused by getting overexcited and overlooking BASIC protocols... Lesson Learnt.

your clones arent big.

they are quite nice sized.


and they look good....however, i would cut some of those leaves in half to help root faster

how do you guys take your cuttings?... I have a fairly decent budding space, I would like to either Scrog/sog on a few clones of the same strain or LST 1 plant per strain per bud cycle. The option is open for both.

i use either my aero cloner or just use rapidrooters in prop trays
