well i'll try to clone my plant for the first time soon and i have been read alot about cloning. I got everything so far just one thing confused me is:" does it necessary to put a lit on a new cloning plant? and how to care for them to get the best result?
 
go to youtube and search "cloning" there are a few videos that will show you exactly what to do..:peace:
 
i did but some say put a lit on and open it every once in awhile some say.. dont need to some dont even mention about it that what make me confused!!!
 
either way you do it, the main thing to keep in mind is you need to maintain high humidity...thats the only way the plant can get water while it's trying to make roots is through the leaves...so a dome is preferred because you can mist it and keep the humidity high, making it easier to form roots..
 
wow thanks! and just one more question: how high of humidity is preferred? in percentage
 
Uhm.! the mother plant i'm planted to take cutting from is 4-5 weeks old already have 7 nodes so when i top her can i use her top i cut to clone?
 
Im also going to be doing my first round of cloning soon (140plants in 2 70plant domes)

I was checking a few diffrent grow websites and seems like theres 15 diffrent cloning solutions, which is the best?

atm I was prolly gona go with Clonex
 
here are the clones we just potted yesterday and I dont think they r doing too well hopefully it's just the shock from change to pot and a little over water...please let me know what you guys think.... and there also pics show how much light they have...temp is about 80 humidity around 35-45...there are 8 clones in total....veg cab size 4x2x4(in foot)...

Best way for clones is to keep under 24 hours of florescent tube light rather then cfls/After a decade or so of cloning I find that with cloning powders I get about a 98% success rate and with gels like clonex I get about an 80% rate and its a lot slower. I find rockwool cubes the best for cloning soaked in 5.5 water then shaen out as you want moist not wet. Also a good heat pad or propogation mat under the dome tray helps a lot as you want the roots about 70 degress F.Mist twice a day and open 2 times a day for 15 minutes after day 1.My clones usually show roots in 3-5 days from the bottom of the rockwool cubes
 
Funny really, I have poor luck with powder, and good luck with gel-I like Clonex. maybe I am not using the powder correctly - the stems seem often to blacken and rot. Could you quicly go through your powder method Fletch?
 
thanks guys but now since they in pot is it alright for a first few days look like that....i'm a bit worried.....what should i do?
 
i would also like to know if the gel or the powder is best. i dont have any cloning experience but need to start somwhere.
 
i used powder...and seem like 7 out of 8 have root and after put them in to pot seem like 4 out of 8 will pull through....any tips after you put them in to pot?
 
add lemon juice or vinegar to lower it and baking soda to raise it. i have a dig. ph tester and i cant fathom of growing without one. i ph the water whenever i feed them and make sure theyre at a constant 6.5.
 
cool thanks for the tip and this sunday i will take cutting again so...i will up date soon
 
well this question might not fit with the tittle but i dont wanna make a thread for it..Do any of you have heard anything about rootbound or anything in that sort i gonna put up some pic and more detail info on mine plant later on cause the plant that in think have issued is in 12/12 circle and th elight is off so i have to wait till tomorrow morning to take some pic....
