Man, i dont know what the hell is wrong here. Ive been trying for the last month n a half to get a batch of clones ready for my flood tables, N ive gotten a total of 1 clone to really take root. I went from trying to clone in soil, to using a Waterfarm bucket that i turned into a DWC bucket. Ive tried Rollitup's Method of just taking a cutting, scarring the stem, and poppin it into a cup of water and leaving it under indirect light, and ive tried the cheap mini greenhouses that you buy at hydro shops. I dont know what the hell im doin wrong here.
Im a semi experienced grower, tryin to prepare for a pretty decent sized grow, and i have 10 plants i can use as mothers, another 15 seedlings that i started in soil, and i just got in my 4x8 flood table, which ill be growing 32 plants in, if i can ever get my shit together and learn what the hell im doin wrong here. Its gettin down to zero hour for me here, and im about to just flower out the plants i have grown out right now, and wait for the seedlings to become mothers before i get down to business, because i need another harvest so badly, lol.
I know that cloning is supposed to be some of the easiest shit to pull off in the world, but for some reason its just not happening for me. Its probably my tap water, even though i make sure its pH'd before i use it, god knows what else is in there, so ill be trying again with distilled water in a couple days when i can take some more cuttings, but other than that im pretty much stumped. Im about to shell out a couple bucks for a cloning machine pretty soon here, cuz its just getting to the point to where im massacring my plants just to get cuttings that im gonna end up throwing away in the long run.
I have a shitload of strains to try out, cuz im still not set on what i wanna keep around long term - im growing Blueberry, Pineapple Punch, Yumboldt 47, Northern Lights, Durban Poison, Ice, The Black, Dutch Dragon, Church, Bubblicious, Double Gum, The Pure, n if i left anything out, its just cuz im fuckin frazzled man. Anybody with alot of experience that can help me out and possibly save me some cash, would really be doin a service to your community, lol. Im pretty much going insane right now, because i just dont see how its possible to try everything under the sun, following instructions verbatim, and still have zero results.
I was originally using CFLs for the cloning process, but i recently switched to a more gentle light - picked up some cheap 4ft plant n aquarium bulbs from Wal Mart. N that light is actually the light where i got the only cutting to root so far. I dont wanna take many more cuttings from the girls i have growing out right now, cuz each time i do, i feel like im deminishing potential yield by causing undue stress to these girls. Is there a specific age or plant height i should be waiting on in order to take my cuttings? Any type of advice that can be given here would be much MUCH appreciated. Anyone that has a simple, CHEAP method of cloning , im all ears..
thanks in advance,
