Few Quick Questions. Important

[Foolieo]

Alright so i have done alot of searching and this forum is a mess lol.

Few questions
1. How high should i fill my water in my 10 gallon tote from the bottom of the net pots?

2. Im about to cut some clones from my LST bush. Was just going to cut them right at the trunk. the clones im choosen are pritty big at this point with minor heat stress dmg to some lower leaves. So i cut and put them directly in a cup of water. Then i scrape the bottom 1/2 off and dip into Clonex Or Rootone? Clonex is a liquid rootone is a powder.

3. Is it ok to place them right into rockwool cubes that will be in net pots with the stones around them and a feeder tube right to the rockwool?

4.Should i not use the feeder tubes yet on just baby clones? and let the bubbles in the tote take are of it?

anymore questions i will ask.
I have looked threw many differant cloneing threads and so many differant ways to do it. and i could not find 1 way to do it going strait to a tote with rockwool and feeder tube.

I am doing this as im typen this so the faster the responds the better thank you.
kiss-ass

yeah thank you that was 1 of the pages i am usen as a reference. im also unsure of how moist to get the rockwool before putting the cutting into it. i believe if its to wet it will just rott the base of your cutting

humm thats another thing i gotta make some kinda dome. well ill figure that out after there cut and in place

 

[moash]

soak rockwool overnight with desired water,rooting hormones,etc
then stick ur clones in ...put un humidity dome... and wait

 

[moash]

u can use like a cake tray for a dome

 

[Foolieo]

u can use like a cake tray for a dome

yeah i dont have any cake trays humm. well i cut the clones and there in the rockwool and in the tote now.

i made sure no air bubbles got into the stalk
I then shaved the bottom 1/4 to 1/2 of the stalk and slit the bottom 1/8th or so into 2. then dipped into rootone and put into rockwool cubes that i got moist and put into the tote that is now under 4x 100watt cfls. now i gotta make a dome.

There drooping pritty hard atm i expected them to. i might end up haven to go find something to use as humidity dome from maybe walmart? any ideas

could i just throw 2 leter bottoms over each 1?

Here is a picture of the clones and of my lst bush after she lost 4 of her strongest branchs

 

[Foolieo]

dont really know what to expect. part of me thinks they are just going to keel over and die on me. they look pissed at me right now

 

[f1tzg3r4ald]

Yeah get the dome on them ASAP. Any clear type dome to raise humidity. As the clones have no root structure they get water by absorbing it through their leaves. Also spray them with distilled water. they should perc up soon. Also some of them look like they have excess foliage on them that could be removed. GL nice start. Hope it goes well. Update soon.

 

[Foolieo]

what plant and what part of it are u considering extra foliage so i can remove it before putting the domes on. i just got 4 1qt bottles of water that i emptied out and cut up. they fit alright abit snug. 1 of the cuttings is to big and im thinking thats the one u are saying has to much foliage the back right 1? and what would u remove from her

 

[f1tzg3r4ald]

Yes I was talking about the back right one and also the others. I would remove the bottom sets of branches on each plant. They seem to have unhealthy leaves anyway. Hope it helps. If anyone else know different please correct me.

yeah i removed some of the lower sets. is it ok if the leaves are actualy touching the sides of my domes? im about to go in there and give them there first spray and re cover and see if they perk up

also how long should i keep them covered? untill the roots are actually reaching the water? till they perk up and are standing on there own again? Or untill any decent sign root growth?

idk if this matters or not. but i also have a water pump in there and running a little feeder tube to each net pot.

 

[f1tzg3r4ald]

Yeah it wont hurt them to touch the sides. Its only going to need them until they get a good root system going maybe 7-10 days at most. Let me know how it goes and post some more pics. Hope they perc up for you.

 

[Foolieo]

Here are the recent pictures. ill keep this thread updated on the progress of my babys

 

[f1tzg3r4ald]

Oh yeah. Make small vent holes or hole in the domes so it can get some air. Looks good. Kinda cramped but it will be fine. in two or three days they will be looking better.

 

[Foolieo]

ill heat up a nail later and add 3 or so holes in each 1. i kinda want to let them sit atm i been messing with them so much. maybe i wont need to.. the bottoms of those are not cut perfect. so i think air is seeping in the bottom. i might add some anyways. the humidity isnt really staying in the clear things maybe not enough heat or maybe the bottom isnt sealed enough

 

[Foolieo]

another fast question before i go to bed and screw my new clones up. do i keep my water pump on 24/7 1/4" feeding tubes going to each net pot. inside net pot is a rockwool cube and those round stones.. going to bed any minute

next time i suggest you look into creating a bubble cloner; no humidity dome necessary; roots grow in about 1 week as opposed to 2.
