Clone advise

I just cloned my plants 3 weeks ago. Im at about 95% survival right now and would like to keep the rest of them alive. Does anyone have suggestions as far as watering / feeding cycles in this stage?

To clone, I took cuttings, dipped the tips in Clone-X, and put them in an aeroponic clonig machine for three weeks. All of them got bumps and roots, but a few died. The remainder look good, some yellowing in the leaves, but for the most part healthy plants. I have them in a box under 24 hour light and mist the leaves daily, as well as water and few every 3-4 days. Any (good) advise is much appreciated. :joint:

no you seem to be doing the right thing

about the yellowing,,, did u trim any leaves.. cause often times the clones dont have enough roots to feed their leaves

Got two 2ft flourescent plant bulbs...seems to be getting tons of light. Should I trim off the dead stuff?

If its dead dead yes trim it off. If its just looking yellow let in stay. Dont give any food other than the gel and some vitamin b. If you trim like an inch or so off the leaf tips that will help as well.

you have to be careful with how close they are. for brand new clones i usually have one T5 about 4-6" away. even one more is too much and they yellow before they root. Yellowing on lower leaves is good if they're rooting, but not if they're not. there's just not enough roots to supply nutrients for too much light.

yeah i have them in a box so the light is close. i usually pop a soda can in there and shut the box so it keeps the Co2 in, the plants seem to be perking up. I have about 18 of 24 cuttings that are going to make it. I got a cloning machine on ebay for 100 and it works like a charm. :peace:
