So just before I give up on cloning, I'm going to throw one last attempt at it.
I've got one healthy female that I have been vegging for 2 months. She's actually Showing her hairs quit plentifully now. Don't know if that has anything to do with my failure to produce a living clone, yout tell me.
My basic procedure is as follows:
I took cuttings from the plant, about 5" long to be exact. I cut the stem at a 45 degree angle, but did not split it, I left it whole. I dipped it in water, then dipped in my rooting hormone, see attached photo.
I then stabbed it in a 2" x 2" x 2" rockwool cube that I had soaked in a water/ rooting solution mixture.
I have them in a humidty dome, see attached, and have tried the vents in multiple configurations.
Temps are 75-80, hunmidity is ambient, but probably 50% for sake of argument. I haven't fed any nutes and have not watered them at all, I assume the soaked rockwool is good for that. I have however misted water in on the second cloning attempt, I did not the first time around.
They are on 24 hour light under 6500k cfls.
The only thing I can think of is, and I thought I had it fixed is.... my water is 6.5 ph, and I know that's a bit high, so I used the rooting solution in the water I soaked the rockwool cubes in.
Anyone else have any ideas?
These things just shrivel up and die. The first time, with ho humidity dome it was overnight. At least with the humidity dome they lasted a few days. I pulled the stem of one of the dead ones and it zero, I mean ZERO root growth.
I hate the idea of gowing back to seed grows.
