Hey guys,
Newbie here.
Long story short. I got some seeds from a friend. I planted 6, all 6 sprouted. They have been doing pretty well. I started the 12/12 2 weeks ago and 5 of the 6 were males.![Sad :-( :-(](/styles/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
So since so many were males I am cloning my female.
I read many online guides and everything so I could get the hang of it, but they are looking strange to me.
I took them from the right places with the 2 nodes. Cut off the bottoms. 45* angle. Cut the stems upward in half. Scraped the bottom skins off. Rooting powder. Jiffy cubes. I am constantly spraying the top of them and keeping the cubes moist. I have 1 6500K 23W Floro on it about 6 to 8 inches away with reflector hood. Currently on 24 hours a day.
The PH of the water was a little high to my knowledge. Around a 7.0. I should of known better but the water I made 6.25 the other day sat for a tad and gained some PH back I guess.
Here is the mother plant. "Cherry Bubbah"
This is the cut points.
These are the clones as of today. I cut them 48 hours ago.
The 2 in the jiffy box have no cover on them since they are too tall and the cover wont fit. The one in the foldgers coffee container has a cover on it.
Thanks in advance.
