Default Help with cuttings.
my question to you all is......

Straight after you take your cuttings what do you all do with them..
I need info on what you do to them and how n where you keep them till they root.

last time i took cuttings i got 90% sucsess rate but this time i dont think its going too well.
i took my cuttings 10 days ago and have them in a small propagator. i mist twice a day n make sure the rockwool aint too wet. the light i have placed on top of propagator is just a floro tube light with homemade reflector. it worked really well last time so dont understand wots goin wrong. all was well till the other day when i noticed there mostly all yellow but there are a few thats not that bad..

no signs of any roots yet n im just worried that im not gona have anythin to grow when my current grow,s finished.

First, mixed results wih cuttings is often due to water ph.
Cutting absorb water through their leaves at first, so they need misting every few hours, with 6.0ph water.
Be sure their is always a quarter inch of moisture in the bottom of the propegator box (6.0ph).
Make sure the temp inside the box does not raise above 80F.
Always use a rooting hormone on the cuttings.

the first time i made clones i never misted just let the moisture and humidity in the dome do the feeding,and i had a 85% success,the second time i used a heating mat and t5 light that slid through top of cover they got to hot and died,next time i had an improper ph they died,next time i misted while in the dome and they died,went back to not misting and letting the humidity in the dome feed them and i had success again.

One thing to remember is this, different seed strains behave very differently. So you will have to decide what works best for your strain. Water ph is a crucial issue in success or failure in all cases.

Depends on the strain and the conditions that are present. A few days to a few weeks. About 10 days is common.
