They look pretty decent but as other folks have said, clones tend to swing back and forth a bit from looking "good"/perky to bendy/droopy. I've found that they're generally more perky for the first 3-5 days and then they'll start to droop for 3-5 days, then the lower leaves will start to die and yellow when it begins to grow roots. 3-5 days after the bottom leafs begin to die, I usually see roots.

But this is all w/ an aerocloner so I'm sure the timing is different. Also, I likely would see roots faster since my clones don't sit in any kind of soil/material. They're just open to the air/water.

Clones are fickle. I've found it's easiest to just cut more than you'll want/need. If they all root, you just toss the ones you don't have room for.

Alright, thanks guys! I hate feeling like I have no clue what's going on with 'em, lol. I hear ya, DenseBuds, I don't actually need any of these clones, so I figured ten would be enough to practice on. Nice round number. lol I just wanna get it down before I do need 'em, in a couple months I'll be planting Chronic, and with what those seeds cost, I would much rather be able to take clones off every generation, than keep buying seeds! Although - half these clones are from my one really bushy LS, I wouldn't mind keeping her around, I suppose.
Speaking of - I'm excited, noticed last night that all five of them are showing preflowers! Kind of amazed, considering they are just into their seventh week of veg, and still don't have alternating nodes.

Ya know, I hadn't even noticed that - guess I was looking for it to be more pronounced than this. Maybe topping makes the difference? Or is it ever a strain dependant thing?

It probably has to do with the internode spacing on that genotype. It's a good thing, that way you get bigger tighter colas.

Thanks for that. Yeah there's a fan blowing on them. On a different note, could any of you tell me what my clones should look like now? It's been four days since cutting, some of them are perky, some are kind of wilted. Picked one up today - still no sign of roots. So what's better, perky or wilted? Am I just being too impatient? The glass is moist because I just misted them, been doing it about twice a day now.

Hey Doe, I wouldn't stess at all. Only four days they shouldn't have roots yet. Give them another week and you'll see plenty of roots. They look good to me. If they do start to wilt bad, then just trim more leaf off, but they look fine.

I just browsed your jurnal and you got a lot going on. It all looks great! I will find a seat somewhere and tune in for this one.

lol you guys! I ordered more goodies today...got some Serious Seeds feminized Chronic on the way. Had to give HTG Supply a call, as well - got four digital 600w HPS on the way with air cooled hoods, four extra bulbs, and four 400w MH conversion bulbs. They gave me a great deal too, all four of the extra bulbs free, and 10% off the remainder of the order! Yay! My God I'm addicted to this growing shit....lol

You bet! Gotta finish the room still - get the intake and exhaust installed, and get the misc. shit out of there. Right now kinda looks like a scene from Hellraiser, with four sets of empty chains hanging from the ceiling. lol

Well I don't really know if there is anything to update guys. I made a comparison pic, from day one to now. It's been nine days today. Looking at them, it seems like they've grown just a bit, but maybe it's an illusion, because they aren't wet or wilted in the second pic. If it matters, I have not misted them in five days, now. I've wetted the pellets down twice in that time, but no misting. So does the fact that they aren't wilted suggest roots forming? I mean they can only get water through the leaves and roots, right? Guess I'm just trying to be hopeful. One of them is looking sad, very wilted, maybe I'll pull that one and see if it was trying to root.

I'll put up the rest of the updates this evening when the big girls wake up, as usual!

Hi Doe, Dam your place filled up. I had no idea there were so many women that grew. Its tough to find a seat and it reeks of estrogen in here. LOL Not that I'm complaining of course. Hey, heres a lil tip. Sometimes I get a cutting that doesnt seem to be rooting. To test it what you can do is pull up on it very gently. If you feel any resistance stop. Its rooting. If it isnt rooting it will come right out of the hole.

:clap: This is a great tip. Some people may argue that if its just starting to root you will ruin it by pulling it up....but in all honesty, thats never happened to me, lol

They either rooted, and gave some resistance to my pulling, or the pulled right not, and there were no roots ;)
