Quick help if anyone is up and on here. XCLONINGX

Hi guys, this is my frist grow, I have 5 plants currently growing indoors(basement) in a closet thats about 75" x 30" with CFL's mainly 6500K's and 1 2700K. Good grow area. I transplanted my plants from 1 & 3 gallon pots to 5 gallon pots the other day, they look happy and healthy still (except for a bit of overfertilization and some nutrient burn on 3 of them several weeks ago)

Anyway I want to take some clones(maybe just 1 from my best looking and largest plant) they are about 6 weeks old now.

Now here are the questions...

The cutting I want to take is like the 4th or 5th branch set on the main stem(not counting the c-word things LOL NEWB litte round leafs which already have fallen off. This branch would have atleast 3-4 nodes itself after being cut, my question is how far should I cut it toward the main stem? how far should I burry the cut branch in soil? What happens to the area where the branch I cut was?

What I plan to do is make the cut, lay the cutting in some water and possibly take another and do the same, then few minutes (10 mins. or so) dip the tip of the branch(stem now I guess) into some rooting horomone that I have and plant it in the soil? Will this work? I want to take the clone and force it into flowering to see sex faster.


If theres someone up that has been through this and knows a lot about cloning I would really appreciate it, I'm very new to this but I think everything is going to be OKAY

Thanks in advance.

Oh also is it a bad idea to take the cutting this soon after transplanting,?Growth didn't really seem to slow I transplanted them with Superthrive this time around, didn't think I would be transplanting them again for awhile.

were are the pics???

cut at a 45 deg angle, nothing will happen to the mother,
when you place the clone in the soil, about 1 to 2", after dipping in rooting powder/gel. make sure you have a dome.
do you have a dome.if not pm me and ill tell you a free way to make a dome.

Ogaes 4, 5 and 6

Let me snap one of the branch I want to cut with my 8 MP cam

No dome, not sure of what the dome is needed for? Do you have AIM if so could you PM your s/n. on dial up so be a minute on the pics. Nothing happens to the mother, will anything grow back where I made the cut?

How does this look so far going to pack some more soil around the bottle and bag. Think this one will survive?

as long as you spray every day and its air tight, should be fine.

Alright will do, so you think a week or so and it should root and can join the others in the grow room with the bag and bottle removed?

Thanks for the heads up, hopefully "she" makes it

you dont have to put the bag all over the bottle, just the lid,so its air tight.

How about a soda bottle with the top cut off?

Thanks for the help guys, I just removed the dome and gave it a good mist. So far it is looking good and alive.

Thanks again.

i just did my first clones on the 22nd, and still no sign of roots or anything, leaves are getting a bit yellow, stems turned red.. but the plants are not droopy and still holding themselves up....so be patient!!!

Thanks, I will and good luck to you on yours.
