Cloning

[pthobson]

any good threads or articles anyone can recommend on cloning techniques etc? I know there’s a lot on here just want some GOOD info, whether it be from your own experience or somewhere you can direct me. Never cloned and gonna try my hand at it. Thanks in advance

Buy Black Gold Seedling Mix. Available everywhere including grocery stores selling plant stuff. Buy a bag of Xtreme Gardening Mykos WP. Take your cuttings and prep. Be sure to lightly scrape the outer layer of stem off low. Dip in honey or cloning gel and then into the Mykos to coat. Place directly into the moist Seedling mix. Keep moist but not wet. Do not use any humidity domes etc. Place under weak light.

Thanks man. No humidity dome? My humidity stays 35-45 percent usually (relative)

i have never tried this method,i think im going to experiment...
i will say to sterilize everything with iso alcohol,the scissors,razor blade,work surface....your hands...everything

 

[chadfly111]

35-45% humidity isnt enough imo,at least 70%

i use a dome,but if i feel there is too much moisture i just put it on a slight angle to let moisture escape,and fresh air in

Imma noob at cloning.....doing ok.

I use a dome to keep humidity very high - Mondi tray/dome. The vents are opened about 1/8th 7 days after cutting to allow air exchange. 2 days later, 1/4 opened. 4 days later, 1/2 opened. 6 days later, fully opened. If they look like they are going on their own with the vents fully opened, the dome is removed. That method has worked the last three cloning attempts.

No dome. Mist lightly occasionally. Domes lead to damping off where the stem just rots below the soil surface. And extremely light (emphasis extremely) foiliar feeds a couple times a week in place of the misting. The Mykos or Great White is really important.

Do lightly feed clones. They came from a plant requiring feeding eh? But light as hell. I use Jungle Juice and there’s a schedule on the jug for seedlings and cuttings. Never on seedlings. But on cuttings from good size plants I feed in water. Feed, water, water. Repeat.

Thanks man really appreciate it. Was looking at a dome setup with a small t5ho. You may have just saved me some money

Yes to a good T5. Meaning large enough for good coverage. I like T5 for early veg and rooting cuttings.

Yeah the t5 would be strictly used for cuttings. I run quantum boards. And which would you recommend for cuttings? (T5) or maybe a cheap led?(low wattage quantum board)

Cheap LED. The Viparspectras put out some good plants.

 

[hotrodharley]

Samsung stripes would be perfect too for cuttings, seedlings and veg.

Yes they do …



2 ViparSpectra DS 600's. Total of 580 true wall watts - each unit recently turned down to about 75%. ( … a few days ago, the Diesel started showing some light stress at 16" and full power.)

Hormex powder. Razor blade. 1 inch rookwool.
Soak rookwool with 5.7 ph water or very light chem, drain it. Cut the bottom of the clone at an angle and dip in water then dip in Hormex then place in rookwool. Dont touch it for a week then water light if it needs it. Should get roots 7-10 days. Weak light. Your humidity is fine.
