.
The optimal pH for cloning according to highly educated agri-brains is 6.3 Most say 6 to 7.
.
My best results have been at 6.7 and 6. Your right where you need to be. The (mixed) BMO Super Plant Tonic will provide a definite advantage - those little mychorizzal fungi will aid in feeding the clones, & increasing the rootball promptly. The worm castings in BMO (highly soluble nitrogen & gentle) are perfect for feeding clones. In a few days you will see little white fungi strands - free floating about. Don't worry about them or remove them - they are benefical.
.
When your clones are ready to move, take the extra, free floating white fungi strands and mix them in soil, then cover. Or drop a tablespoon full in the bottom of you Hempy Pots. They will multiple, bond with your plants roots & boost their health & vigor - off the scale.
.
If you gently dehydrate (low heat 80 degrees & under) the left over fungi (must be done in the dark), you can keep them for about one month. They must be keep in a cool, dark environment; below 80 degrees but above 55 degrees. They make for a great seed soak. Every seed I have every soaked in a tablespoon of those fungi with about 8 ounces of chlorine free water -have popped. 100 % sucess rate; even with fresh seeds. But of course I don't try to germinate dried out, cracked, super old or super shitty seeds. So, I guess I should say 100 % sucess with decent seeds. Hope this helps..

It's a beautiful place. A lot of people went to the mountains to dodge the draft during Vietnam and that's why there are so many hippies there.

The community that makes BMO lives in north central, between Mtn. Home & Mtn. View, Arkansas. Yes, no shortage of Peace Loving Folks around there. Their real decent people. They appreciate everything, want for nothing & are honest. Plus, it's hard to find anyone who can grow better than them. They know how to make things grow organically.

I was told by the Ebay Seller, Blue Mountain Organics is a small company / community of peace loving Hippies, living in the Ozarks in Arkansas. Seems they have been selling this stuff locally for about five years. The Organic Gardening crowd swears by it. I have gotten excellant results with it. They sell the stuff at a local farmer's / flea market there. They do not have a store or website. The only make up a big batch every 3 months. So, the stuff Ebay is probably a fresh batch. It sells pretty fast. I'll probably buy one myself, later this week.

I just bought some of that stuff from Ebay...It only cost 10.50 thats with shipping...Hope it works better than superthrive.

dessbarrett... You'll never go back to Superthrive after using BMO Super Plant Tonic. Their new bottles (8 oz) make as much as the pint bottle, they used to sell (8-16 gallons) I just got one yesterday. It has 10 ounces in it. The seller says, BMO fills up the mail order bottles, with two extra ounces, as a bonus. So, that makes (10-20) gallons, even better.
.
This stuff is great. I have grown Skunks, AK-47, Lowryder & Lowryder 2 with it. I used it on only half each time, the first few grows. The treated plants did better every time. Their vigor was improved, they were bushier & yielded more.
.
Just, remember to go easy on your fertilizers after applying BMO. Because the rootball just explodes, in a matter of days. Making it very efficent at sucking up what is thrown at it; plus it breaks down everything in your grow medium - adding to what your plants are getting. So, throw less at them or you will end up overfertilizing. I learned that the hard way, the first time I grew with it. I almost killed a couple of Skunks with kindness (overfertilization).
.
Hope this helps.. Keep it Real ... Organic.....

Well Thank You.. I have spent many years studing & practicing Weedology. The answer to that quesiton, in a nut shell. No - the failure rate is much higher after flowering is initiated, for cloning. Not Advised.
.
If, cloning is the road your going to travel down. Establish a Mother Plant - keep her under 14 + hours of light & well feed - only grow (higher N) nutrients. I know a fellow brother of the leaf, who has a Mother Plant that has been giving him clones for over 15 months now. I have heard it said - 24 months is possible. That's allot of clones.
.
The Waiting is the Hardest Part..... Good Song Lyric ... So, true with Mary.....
.
If somone tells you to throw your plants back under a longer light schedule. So, you can cut clones from them; Don't Do It. Keep going forward, not back....
.
Note: It is possible to produce some decent bud & seeds, if you wait till the 3rd week of flowering, then pollenate only one bud site. Make it a lower bud site. At harvest time, clip the upper buds & leave the pollenated bud site on for an extra week - to ensure your seeds fully develope.

I wouldn't do that. Too much of that IBA (synthetic hormone) cloning powder & your clones will not root. You can have too much of that stuff & more is not better. Mix a 1/4 strength BMO & add - much safer...
