Hello first time grower first time cloner,
So i cut these on 11/23 from a flowering mother plant a few weeks into flower they had super tiny buds with no trichomes on them. After being in the dome for about two weeks they are all still standing up firmly but now discoloring strangely
My questions are
1. is the black stuff mold?
2.Is the amount of yellowing on the leaves normal?
3. Why are more trichomes forming on some clones instead of rooting Should i clip off the buds?????
Thanks for the help!!
:bigjoint:

I don't think the black is mold, but I would remove those leaves. Clones taken in flower always look like crap (at least mine do), but they will gradually come out of it. I have removed most of the bud before and suffered no ill effects, but it's mostly patience that you need. I am just now putting into flower a strawberry cough clone that I took back in September. It was in really bad shape for a long time (taken 3rd week of flower)..lol, but in general it takes about 2-3 weeks at least for them to start to reveg again.

Looks like the plant is just using up its' stored phosphorous?
Obvious question but, have you switched photoperiod back to 18/6?

I was thinking if that was it but i wasnt sure its only on one of the clones so i cut those leaves off..
But I am actually running them 24/7 under some weak CFLs about like 46 watts.
Mine seemed a bit darker than this tho but i see some spotting of similar color appearing on other clones.
Im letting the humidity in the dome drop significantly cause I thought it was mold.

I remove most of the leaf, only leaving the top 1- 2 nodes and then cut those leaves in half. Bc clones have no roots they can't pull nutrients up. The more leaves you have, the harder it works the clone. I always mist my clones, and mist the inside of the dome, it's just what I do. 100% success so far. Taking clones in flower is called monster cropping, I've only done it once, in a diy bubble cloner. I used 23w CFL and it took 26 days to show roots after which I added more light and it took off.

That's my two cents. Hth

Thanks! Sounds good iv heard of monster cropping but i thought that was when you revert a flowering plant to veg so i guess it is the same thing. When you did this did you pinch off the small buds from the clones?

I ain't no expert, you might be right. But I think receiving is receiving, and taking clones in flower is monster cropping, hmmm idk.

And no I didn't remove the tiny bud's. I took a cutting from the lowest limb and the bud's was tiny . I don't know if I did it right, except it worked. 12 clones later and the original is in the flower room now, big ass plant too.

Success with cloning once the plant starts flowering drops a good bit. All the plants hormones have changed from "let's build roots and branches" to "shit we might die let's make flowers so we can get sexed up and continue life"

Can you clarify the terms monster cropping and revegging so that I don't use them incorrectly. Lol

Monster cropping = pulling flowering clones, just like cloning during the vegetation period but doing it during flowering takes a bit longer

Revegging = switching back to vegetative state during flower (you can do this at anytime during flower as long as the plant has got a few colas full of bud left on it to revert itself)

The revegging part isn't totally accurate. 2.5 weeks apart I believe. Same plant. I just left a few leaves and whatever tiny tiny buds were there and it took off after the first week.

Yeah maybe not "full of buds" but leave some.. more = faster

well i just removed most of the little buds from the clones, i took these clones from the lowest branch and 24 days ago they are still all standing firm and tall just changing colors now, just not showing roots through the cube yet. The buds were super smelly and full of trichomes only issue was they were the size of peas. lol

After looking up a quick article about monster cropping i think the green crack clones were slightly flowered when i go them and they grew absolutely amazingly with so many budsites.. so i guess you're right Monster cropping does produce heavy yields

Yeah the terps where out of this world, and the clones ( which were fully revegged) have awesome bud development.
