Clones need 911

[dantesinferno]

I have taken theses clones from the only plant I have do to faulty seeds. maybe I took them to early but I will show the motherplant and my clones and clone setup, Need advice fast.
thats a 26w cfl set on 6500k

O.O yikes! What's the temp like?

 

[dantesinferno]

Roughly held between 75-80F
They are on a heating mat aswell.

get that light offa there. heating mat below.........french fry warmer above.

 

[dantesinferno]

So lose the heating mat and light?

 

[scroglodyte]

yes. back the light up. give them some air every day, the heating mat is your call. keep it on low if kept.

 

[dantesinferno]

nah, I'm gonna trust you on this, heating mat is gone and light has been reduced, will post results.

 

[vilify]

pulling the mat is the right call. ive had much better success rooting without my mat.

 

[scroglodyte]

i don't use a mat, but i root into soil, and that buffers temps.

 

[dantesinferno]

day 3, seems to be more droopy, inspected stem cuttings at bottom, no roots, a little bit of brown what I believe to be rot.

All you need to do to make them stop drooping is trim them a little more...leave as few leaves as possible...they will stop wilting over if you just have less plant up to, I see that you have trimmed them, but trim one or 2 a little more and then check them again in 1 hr...bet the retrimmed ones will stand...just had to do this the other night to a couple of mine...and I clone straight under a 400w MH that is only a foot away and they always root, so no need to back off the light or any other thing...

 

[dantesinferno]

so I trimmed them a bit more, will update pics in a bit. should I add more clone solution to the roots?

 

[HeartlandHank]

no need to add more clone solution. i have heard that reapplying is counter-productive.

just lifting that light off of their will do it good.

have found the perfect level of light is a single t5 fluor strip with reflector sitting on top of the dome with a paper towel layer between the light and dome.

have found the heat mat to dramatically speed up rooting. that is assuming that the temps of the room are ideal. that light was prbly making the dome way too hot. Then combined with the heat mat makes it even worse.

the thing is that the mat does not heat up the air inside the dome much because the plugs and tray are absorbing the heat from the mat. what improves the speed of rooting is higher medium temps than air temp inside the dome. placing domes in a room that is at the ideal temp with a heat mat is an easy way to get that.

Updating pics, adjusted growing.

One of these days I'm going to pull out my plastic dome and multi-cell flats from storage. It looks so much cooler then my Taco Bell Cups and tap water.

Red light (like for flowering) is very good for cloning, but it needs to be weak (almost indirect).

Haha. I like it.

They will be fine once u get the humidity high and u let em sit they shud be fine what did u do to fuck em up? Or do u have no clue?

 

[dantesinferno]

No clue, did everything like I always do ....
