WTF cloning hollow stem?

I cut a nice part off and u can look inside the stem to find hollowness...is this air = death? I mean it's hollow inside, the new stem is pretty strong looking.

the mother plant is nice n healthy, it's in a resivor full of water and huge roots.

i can see so perfect up it, is this some plant juice that is really transparent?


anything would help, asap !!

Anything will help?

Well, what you have is the tobacco stemworm. It's rare, but I've seen it a couple of times, and many people dread it. They are afraid that it will spread to all of the marijuana crops and ruin everyones bud. You'll have to get rid of it, so after you've harvested your bud send it all to the stemworm eradication research clinic. (at my house)


Did that help?

rofl probably saved his whole day

oh pot, that just made my day. a dude, the fuckin stemworm eradication research clinic had me rotflmfao. it is nice to see another person with a twisted sense of humor!

Dude, I didn't read everything you said and I chopped all of em down already. Now I know why I couldn't find any under the microscope...

you got to be kidding me lmfao!

It is normal for the stem to be hollow. If you were to go out and buy some good shit and look at the stems that is in the bag you will see they are all hollow. Read up on cloning and people talk about hollow stems all the time how if you don't make your final cut under water you will get an air bubble in the stem and the cutting will most certainly die. So this is normal and you shouldn't worry about crap like that!

I read up on maybe over 10 cloning guides, none said how hollow...it was really odd because the first clone was off the nearest plant to the fan, so it was ultra thick.

So far, they're standing up...think they got past the air bubbles by 2 days? And a few I noticed tere was like rooting gell forming around the stems like a bubble. Really interesting

Hey, here they are. A bunch are showing roots!

I can't transport them yet . I was thinking about covering the bottom floor with some left over rockton. I'm trying to keep them small, but alive. Any suggestions? Maybe poke holes on the bottom er somethin, I'd hate to kill the first female clones ever! The guilt would consume my entire life.

I don't have hollow stems since moving to a DE-AC bulb. Someone said you will have hollow stems when growing indoors. Is this true?

Some are some aren't.

I noticed hollow stem when I grew DWC. Adding silica to my mix seemed to help.
