My first clone

OB Cron Kenobi said:
I heard leave them in the dome with super high humidity for 10 days, then take it off for days 10-12 and it will make the leaves stop absorbing water and send the roots out looking for water and it ultimately makes them root very fast, very healthy- i am gonna give it a try.

Do you have a humidity dome on that, or how are u regulating it?

I have a humidity dome it has vents I can open for the last week. I will open it today or tomorrow.
 
Here are two pics.

1 is 2 girls from plant #3. rooted in rockwool

all 9 males rooted all in soil.

The soil way looks fastest they are two days younger than 2/3 of the rockwools. Now maybe males just do better, I don't know. Next time I'll only use female in both and see what will work best.

2 are the grils still in the humidity dome.

Lookin good! Don't dudes grow faster than the fems?
They're all still kickin though so there is a plus!! :joint:

:peace:
 
Today I put all 9 males in cups. I may have rushed taking the out of the Humidity Dome. Two wilted when I was at work today. They when I moved them to soil I found that those two had no rooting at all. One was in pete moss 66% + perelite 33%. The other was Pro Mix 66% + perelite 33%. So 2 were lost.

That still leaves 7 of 9 males.

As for the girls 2 were move to soil last night. Are the girls started in rockwool. It may be slower than the soil but if I get about the same sucess rate as soil Then I will stick with the rockwool, They were around $0.18 each. Plus very easy to use.

I put some pics up in a bit. My wife just got home and needs my help.
 
Here is my redone clone area. The one's with the red cups are the girls. The clear cups are male.

What are the days they are rooting at from cuttings? curious, i have had my clones in for about 6 days now.

Looking good, nice little clone setup for sure.

Clear cups could hurt the roots though from what i have heard if light hits em they die pretty quick.

Clone from female 1 and 3 were cut 6-22. Two of the ones from #3 were ready on 7-2 the last of #3 was ready on 7-4. #1 all have roots started but not ready to transplant. So 10 to 12 days for #3. Still waiting on #1.

All males were cut from the same plant on 6-24 and were rooted on 7-3. Two never developed any roots at all and died. So 9 day for the males in soil they could have waited a day or two.

Clone from female 5 were cut 6-24. As of last roots have started but not ready to transplant.

The boys are in clear cups the girls are in clear cup with red cups as sleeves. The clear cups have holes in the bottom for draining. The color cup have the bottom cut off. I plan to get some blue cup for the boys this weekend.
