I tried cloning for the first time yesterday. I cut 2 clippings. One is draped over the cup (dead) & the other isn't looking to hot either. Wish me luck!

I have a thought/question. I have some fertilizers Alaska brand. One if for vegging 5-1-1 and one for flowering 0-10-10. My tap water is right around eight on the ph scale. Adding fifteen ml to a gallon of water it brings it down to four on the ph scale no matter if it's the bloom or grow fertilizer. I have some feed tea brewing for the girls. Worm poop and cow manure, two tablespoons of grow quano 10-4-1 and four tablespoons of bloom guano 1-10-1 and some mycorrhizae. I just ph'd the brew and it's right at seven and I calibrated my ph meter last night. I'm thinking of adding some of the alaska bloom nutes to the quano tea for two reasons. First it has a much higher amount of K in it compared to the quano and secondly to use it as a ph down instead of acid ph down. Thoughts?

are they just in the cup?,or under a dome?
did you mist them?

In cups then I placed them in a plastic tub to retain moisture. I've been misting every couple of hours. Any recommendations on how to make a home made dome? I know it's not rocket science, I just want to hear some ideas. I love this club!!! I wish we had a union hall or something like that. We should get together like the Free Masons or Lions Int, Rotary club. I thing that's the bag talking lol.

So this is really strange for florida. At five thirty this morning it was forty two. The sun is up and it's now thirty nine. Do you know how hard it is to find a pair of long johns in a store in flordia?

powder works fine,if you need a dome,just put a sandwich bag over the cup,mist one time,do not put clones by direct light.
that should help you out.

Cali, I'm no expert on cloning by any means but this is what I do. I have a glass of ph'd water ready before I take a cutting. As soon as I snip it it's into the glass of water. You don't want air getting into the stem if you can help it. The water that I ph'd I'm going to use to water the clones after I put them in party cups. After I've taken the cuttings I want and they are all in water I get my soil ready. For soil I use about a fifty/fifty mixture of soil that I've amended and then fifty percent seed starter. I use a wooden skewer to make a hole in the dirt. I use root powder, I have gel but I like the powder better. I get some powder and sprinkle it onto a piece of paper, I never dip my cuttings into the jar of powder. I then start taking my cuttings removing any leaves at nodes and make my final forty five degree cut where I want it and immediately dip that cut in root powder and then take the cutting and roll it around in the root powder to cover the bottom inch or three of the stem and right into the party cup. I then trim the leaves back until I have the clone looking like I want it. To the ph'd water I add a little maxicrop and 0-2-0 to help rooting and water the clone. I went to walmart and bought a tub with opaque plastic. I took the lid off and used the tub part as a dome. If you have a tub like container you can always put your plants in it and use saran wrap as a top. Remember clones don't need a lot of light, you're trying to grow roots not leaves. As far as spraying, I try not to overspray, it will cause your plant to rot. Instead I spray the clones once in the morning and once at night before lights out. To keep it moist I spray the lid and sides of my propagation dome.

what are you trying to get the ph down to?
and what ppm are you shooting for?,if you do the ppm thing.
are the plants in bloom,or still veg?
