    Default new to cloning.... thus.... stupid question #1

    recently bought a small jar of clonex... Sannie provided me with a flat of spongepots...
    long story short, last time I did a little manicuring I decided to attempt a few clones. It's been about 8-9 days and they aren't dead....lol. the small amount of water I put in the tray is absorbed every day...so I'm guessing that maybe.... just maybe.... I have roots???

    I'd say keep providing water then. The cuts still look good, no wilt? What color are the leaves? When roots are about to start you will get some leaf turning yellow and brown. Just keep at it

    very slight wilt.... but color is fine... I have them in a makeshift humidity chamber with minimal light.... but DEF not dying.... so they must be drinking.... I hope?

    Probably. I took time off from growing and having to remember how I got stuff to work the last time and how long it took. I suggest detailed notes as you go for next time

    Im usually crazy with journals and notes, etc.... but this was very spur of the moment so I never even thought about it. In the back of my mind I just figured they'd die and I'd forget about cloning again for a while...lol~
    But... we're definitely in the 10 day range now and they are FAR from dead... so I'm thinking I may have snuck in a beginners luck clone.... Barney's LSD btw.... beautiful plant... which I why I was inclined to give it a shot

    Never hurts to try. I'd hate to flower a plant, love it and find out it's an uncommon pheno and have to grow a lot more to get a similar one. Much easier just to clone. If it comes out great you can repeatedly grow it. If it is subpar then those it. Clones need little light and little nutes to make a mother so nothing much wasted.

    what is the medium underneath the dish ..... there's a few tips and tricks you can use for your first time ....especially if you don't have a heating mat or cloning chamber .... cloning on top of a fridge for a heat source underneath is a great idea ....also in your case ...with only a few clones .... if you have a gas stove with pilots ..they can be placed atop the stove with the overhead stove light on ... a few saucers with your clones on them ... covered by a plastic cup and an overhead lighting has had 100 percent rate practically with me... i also use jiffy pellets ... seem to work best for cloning???

    Thats just a sterlite tub with wet perlite to create humidity. Heat doesnt seem to be a problem as I have it outside my veg tent and it is getting a decent amount of residual heat coming from inside. Brief update.... I saw what appears to be a "taproot"..... much thicker than I expected to see.... so probably good news ty for the great response!!!!
