Reply With QuoteAre those branches from the mother plant? or did you just simply cut off the top from it? cause by the look it looks like u took the tops. Can't clone the tops bro.
Let me know if it aint tops.
Experienced cloner please help
My first time trying to clone was yesterday I followed the rockwool guide but I used seed starter plugs instead. The one looks sad and leans over today. Can I do it.with plugs? I used bionide rooting.powder. http://s7.directupload.net/images/130212/oy3fcknx.jpg

What are you talking about,the tops? You can clone any part of the plant thats long enough and has a few nodes.Originally Posted by Frisko
From the looks of it,those cuttings might be getting too much light. I dont know what youre using for light but raise it or put the tray further away. I assume you have it under a dome or something to keep the humidity high,right?
I don't have a dome on it temp is 75-80, humidity is 35-55%. I will dome it on lunch when I run home. I had 3 bulbs a I've them about 6 inches up 23 Watts each h cfl. 2 6500k 1 2700k. Before work I dropped down to using 1 6500k and 1 2700k.
Oh and you are able to clone anything with at least a node to resume normal growth. However I used the bottom most branch on one and second to bottom on the other. The whole cubby is 75-80 so I dun need a heat pad right?
No, thats plenty warm. I would imagine its the lack of humidity thats the issue than,and yeah just one bulb is fine because they need very little light before they have rooted. Mist them with water and mist the dome and cover them,hopefully they will perk back up.
I can usually tell when its humid enough with mine because there is a little bit of condensation on the sides of the dome,but if its too much,like water drops forming I open the vents.
I put the lil tray inside of a new empty chicken bucket for now and gave them a misting with a lil h20 tap that sat for 36 hours or so and dropped down to a single bulb 6500k
Can't clone tops? Tell that to the 16" clone I took from the top of a plant I was tossing. It rooted as fast as any of the other 20 i took from different locations
@Bustin Idk man, I tried cloning my tops, all of them died like they didn't get any water... They had plenty of water though.. So that's why I thought you can't clone the tops.
Sorry about my mistake.
you can clone tops no problem. get that humidity up. get a dome. people recommend anywhere from 70-90% for clones. you'll get a variety of answers which i imagine means they all work. i've cloned with a dome and plugs and clonex with no problem. also, note that it is common that they will droop in the first week.
