My first clone

[RandyRocket]

This will be my first try at cloning. you can see my https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/77942-my-first-grow.html were I got to this stage.

As of now 2 of 7 plants are female one is male the other four are to early to tell. I plan on taking 3 clones from each female plant. I will keep the best as mother.

Pic 1) shows 6 rockwools soaking.
pic 2) are the item I got to start the process.

As always all coments are welcome.

I plan to clone in the afternoon most likely during the NASCAR race.

I've read everything on this sight plus others and watched a lot of youtube vids.

I will use (4) 24" 20 watt t-12 tubes as a light source. i will post more pics late Sunday.

Thanks blazen,

I've been making those bongs a long time most of the time I use a peanut butter jar. My friends call them the nonsters. You fill it with ice and just a little water. It make so so dope good, and good dope will knock you on you ass.

Well i just might have to try it out!! I like to tape a bread bag to the bottom of a gatorade bottle and turn it into a grav bong! that tears faces off too!!

June 22, 2008 3:00pm I took clones from both 1 and 3 three each. They are in the half bath I use to start my last grow.
They've been in there an hour the temp is 84F with 98% humidity. I think thats good?

 

[RandyRocket]

June 23, 2008 5:45pm temp 74F humidity 96%. Things look good. I have another female # 5 so after work tomorrow I will clone it.

 

[RandyRocket]

I took 3 clones of #5 my newest female.
I also took 9 clones from #2 a male. I’m trying a few new things and with a male plant if I mess up no big deal.

The first thing I wanted to try was just to practice.
The second is I am putting them in soil instead of rockwool.
The soil types are:
1) ½ peat moss and ½ perelite.
2) ½ Miracle-Gro moisture control and ½ perelite.
3) ½ Pro Mix and ½ perelite.

If some of the males root I will veg them to 24” then flower about 1 week. Then they will be made into hash. I may even clone them again to make more hash and try new clone methods.

Pic 1) is #5 female pre clone.
Pic 2) is #2 male pre clone.
Pic 3) is all of them together.

These are the two best vids I found to help clone.

YouTube - How to Clone Marijuana - Cloning Marijuana

YouTube - How to Clone any plant for hydroponic or regular gardening

I'm trying to decide on light time 24/0 or 18/6.

https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/84977-clones-light.html this is were I asked about it.

Clone day 4

All 18 look nice and green. The temp is 78f and humidity is 97%. I hope that will do as it would be hard to raise the temp.

Looking good. I clone in soil exclusively. It's easy.

If this work then I won't need that rockwool.

I think the temp should be fine. I'd try 18/6, just because it's already used to some night time. I dunno just my opinion. They are looking great!!! good job man, you're gonna have a beautiful sea of sexy!

That's what I thougt but then someone reminded me I took those during flowering so I sould stay on 24/0 to reverse back to veg.

Nice video links... I will be cloning in less than a week, been re-vegging my mothers for 3.5 weeks, getting anxious.

Im not sure if its relevant with clones, but since you took them out of flowering (12/12) and went to 24/7 couldn't that give them light poisoning and risk the chance of them going hermie?
I know this is the case for a plant, does anybody know if it can hermify them?

Yell, it like every reason to do one then ther is anouther reason to do the other. Yhey went from under the 400w light and they are under 4 t-12 20 watt each tubes. I think they will be ok with 24/0.

I have a 50:50 chance to getting this right. From my research it seams to not matter much eather way.

Thats what it seems. Every time i hear somebody say to do this b/c of _ somebody else say "oh never do that b/c of _"

Thats why i'm glad your trying it out!! Trial and error is my favorite way to learn. Plus you seem to be doing mighty fine!

I have a shit ton (only 13) new pics up.

 

[RandyRocket]

Quick up date.

All 9 females and all 9 males look about the same as when I started. The lights have been on 24/7. They are about 10" above the plants. I could move closer but it would make it hard to lift the lid on the humidity dome. I also have double the needed light for the little 2' sq. area.

I mist them about ever 3-5 hours the temp is always 78f with 98% humidity. The mist is tap water 143ppm mixed with B'Cuzz 0-0-.07 now 203ppm. The next mix will be with Big Bloom .01-.03-.07.

I would put up a new pic but if will look just like the last pic.

can you tell if they got some roots growin?
