Cloning problem/help

[MeekMill]

i have had 6 clones under 55w light and its about 2 weeks that has passed, 3 of them look alive and dont wilt when left for 20 minutes but i cannot see the roots from any sides of the rockwell cubes? is this normal or should there be by now?

Thanks meek

What do you mean by " dont wilt when left for 20 minutes"? Some strains take a while to start roots, I've often read clones take in 10-14 days most of the time. I can't tell you how long mine had taken, I do them in a styrofoam cup of soil and transplant them when they get too big to be in the cup anymore

 

[MeekMill]

its about 2inch tall of rockwell, and most people say if they dont wilt after a while they are alive and can support themselves, but i dont see any root development

 

[Coho]

Their not dead. Keep going..

 

[brotherjericho]

Yeah, just keep the rockwool moist and mist the leaves, they just appear to be slow starters. I assume you have them in some sort of dome.

 

[MeekMill]

yup humidity dome im spraying and opening it atleast once a day i will upload later anyone else?

Patience.They will go.

Yeah, some just seem to take longer. When I am getting impatient with one I give it a little tug just to make sure something is going on down there. If its a winner then there will be a bit of resistance from the roots, otherwise itll just pop out like nothing is down there. Be careful with this absolutely unnecessary step if you chose to take it, a very light pull is all that you need to judge it!

If the plant are not facing the ground with curling leaf your clone are making it dont worry!

 

[MeekMill]

Here are some pics, anyone ?

 

[brotherjericho]

They are all still alive and getting water through the leaves. If any one of them is close to being ready, I'd wager on the one in the lower left corner, even though it looks to be slightly wilted.

 

[MeekMill]

ok thanks man, its been 2 weeksa another 1-2 and ill give up

 

[Coho]

When roots are out the old leaves sometimes start yellowing as they suck nutes. They look like they will root. Is the root zone warm? like 78?

 

[MeekMill]

well the area is about 20-26C depending on weather outside

 

[Coho]

They like 78.. The cooler temp will slow em. I use a heat mat and thermostat. Something to save $$ for in the future.

The dome should keep 100% moisture no need to mist. just a little fresh air 1-2 times a day. Mine berry bomb and white widow took 8 days in soil

 

[MeekMill]

i have a heated mat but last time i tried i think it failed becuase of the heating mat, i dont want to risk it now 2 weeks i, does the warmer heat make it root faster than?

 

[Coho]

Yes..but the thermostat keeps it from getting too hot.

 

[MeekMill]

its not a thermostat its jst a heated matt

 

[MeekMill]

just* you sure it will be ok to put on and wont overheat the clones?
