Actually sounds like a great idea. I will keep this thread open for the next grow. So please stay tuned for this huge Black Widow plant. 6 days into flower! Will update everyone very soon!

Can someone Help me with advice on cloning and getting the clone to live! Using soil. I think my clone lives but may be dying. Noticing leaf shriveling up.

What soil are you using? I've had success using Ocean Forest in a humidity dome. You can use containers or buy the humidity dome with the separated bottom portions.

-Pre water your medium with water ph'd to 6.5, then poke a hole into the medium with a pencil or something similar in diameter. (Soak it well)
-take 4-6'' shoots with bottom cut to a 45 degree angle.
-Clear of any excess leaves in the bottom and middle portions of the cut. Leave the uppermost shoot. (of course)
-Dip in your cloning solution. (I've had luck with Clonex, but they all work)
-Carefully place cuttings in your medium and gently press in so the soil has contact with your cutting.
-Place in humidity dome under low levels of lighting, with the temp around 75. (Most people use t8 fluorescents)
-Cuttings should root in 10-14 days.

Great show DoggyD:bigjoint:
Very respectable harvest. I bet you will best that on the next round. I hope these cloning tips help, if not you should consult youtube.

Stay Free

THEY NEED LITTLE OR NO FRESH AIR KEEP THE DOME ON 24/7 UNLESS WATER HAS EVAPORATED AN THE TRAY IS DRY

warmth at the roots and a humidity dome is the key to successful cloning the domes are cheap, get the tall one!! always

try the second hand store for a heating pad(kind girls use or their stomach cramps??) wrap it in a dry towel and put it under the tray,
make sure it doesnt get wet... electricity+ water= NO BUENO

or cloning on top of the fridge works good too if possible.. its always a warm ambient heat coming from up there =) we took all the ones i have too check telink i my signature....

about + REP IS THE LITTLE STAR SYMBOL AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH PERSONS POSTS... IF YOU CLICK.. IT ASK YOU TO TYPE A LITTLE TIDBIT FOR WHY YOU ARE GVING THE +REP. THEN CLICK.. I ADD REP FOR GOOD ANSWERS OR CREATIVE SOLUTIONS TO SIMPLE PROBLEMS... THANKS RIU!

LST hooked up my last grow, but it was just too much goin on near the pot, for my liking, i like to have it nice and clean about 1 foot between the dirt and plant, it makes it easier for me to work and water..

For cloning, I find rockwool is almost maitenance free for the first week. I just use rockwool and an empty birthday cake dish from a cake at the supermarket.
I initially soak the rockwool, insert cutting with hormone, mist dome and leave for 5-7 days before removing the dome again. Usually see the first root within 7 days and nearly 100% accuracy. Also, I use a 250hps to do it, just keep it out of direct light. So you should be able to replicate my process real easy.
Just drop the rockwool into your soil after well routed.

How to Harvest 1/2 pound with 250+LST="Part 2"
:leaf::leaf:BLACK WIDOW-FLOWERING 7 DAYS:leaf::leaf:

Hey Guys. Welcome too PART 2 of this Thread. I didn't make the goal of 1/2 Pound so I must TRY AGAIN! Here is My BLACK WIDOW Plant! This Plant has Been Flowering for 7 days and starting to see some problems happening. The plant was fine in veg, no problems. I go ahead and place into Flower and plant starts this weird deficiency. I think this Is Phosphorus deficient. I need help with this one. I did do a flush and started slight nutes and I think new growth looks ok i think. Very skinny Leaves at the Tops. Strange. HELP! These pics really don't show the problem like that so the next time I update I will post better pics.

The way you vegged plant is LST I see, but can you give me a little detail about how you got it to be that way, like did you top it, if so at about what node, did you top side branches are just kept tying them down, becuase as of now Im 2 weeks in from seed and I plan on going around the rim of the bucket LST.

Looks good, id only ever worry if things get carried away. I find that flushing can mildly shock a plant and it all be fine.

No. I didn't top the plant at all. Just pull down and tied down with lots of trimming. It's really hard to have such a big plant under this 250w. I may never grow this large again, may become too tall for my grow room.
