looking good mate, think you should have put the clones in rockwool cudes to let them take root...

good luck and happy growing

i would have done that but the nearest hydro store is about 40 miles away...
and i saw this method and ppl said it worked fine and rooted fast...

next time ill do it the right way

i would have sliced the lower part of the stems with a sterilised blade, easier for roots to form.

how long have they been trying to root?
And yes.. You can recut... use a new sterilised blade.. and also do some vertical cuts down the lower stem just passed the skin.

dip them in the rooting powder... and also mix some rooting powder in a cup of water and pore it in the rez.

Good luck man.. I like the tent =]

ok so i sterilized the blade as much as possible. cleaned off all tubing, containers, and airstones, and put some rooting hormone into the rez. i hope they root.

Wonder what Zen is up to... hopefully he just got tired of RIU.... hope all is well...
