20190817_215915.jpg 20190817_215933.jpg 20190817_215943.jpg So basically I'm just seeing who can tell me if this means she's rooting now and if so what my next steps should be as in how long she's to stay in the humidity dome till I plant it into something else.

I have the mother and 3 sisters but there just 3 weeks into flowering and i figured I'd try this cloning thing and im hoping to make these baby's live..

Anyone, I need some advice. Thanks

EDIT: Just realized that I should have posted this in the problems forums. Sorry in advance.

This is fine posting here. Are these being fed something other than straight water? What are they in right now? Lightened tips can be nitrogen excess. They don’t need feeding right now. Low light. Remove the dome regularly to help prevent damping off.

I cut the stems off at 45° and lightly scraped the stem and have 1 node under the rapid rooter, dipped the stem into rooting gel for 10 seconds and was as carful as possible to not mash the gel off the stem when inserting. I did dip the medium in a diluted solution of Prop-O-Gator.

The pictures of the 2 that are yellowing on the tips are 4 days old going on 5 with a 20/4 photoperiod and the light is a sinlge CFL. I'm changing it to 18/6 now.

In the last picture the other baby to the left I just took today when trimming up in the main room

Yellowing of remaining OLDER leaves is pretty normal when rooting cuttings.

Also you can get a pretty good idea from looking at the main stem - it will start to darken up and get thicker from the soil up when it's getting rooted... And just leave them alone for a good week or two, don't get impatient like I used to and keep messing around with them. That's a sure fire way to kill them ha ha.

Could mean past nutrient deficiency, The Cutting will usually choose one leaf and remove all of the nutrients it requires to root, not a little from every tip. How many days has it been since they were placed into the rooters?

Here's a link that I dig up for those new to Propagation through Cloning......

Today is exactly 1 week for the 2 that have yellowing leaf tips, the first one has yellow tips on every leaf new and old. The second ones just the older ones.

The leafs I had cut to lower there transperation I think it's spelt, have gotten bigger tho for sure.

Should have legs anytime, I and I Stress I, give the cutting a slight twist. Doesn't take much but grasp the cutting near the rooter and give it a slight twist. If it hasn't rooted it will spin easily. Any resistance and stop. My rooters will usually start showing dry areas and then roots.I use Life products and have 100% survival now. Good Luck!

Ya it's showing little root ends like 4 of them protruding from the sides not the bottom yet, now should I feed them with a diluted solution of this propogator 3% phosphate and 2% soluble potash derived from potassium phosphate for the roots if the rooter plug is dry now?

And if so would I be better dipping the plug into the solution then back into the nursery flat? Or pouring the solution over the plug from the top?

I prefer spraying my rooters with a fine mist of plain H2O pH 5.5. It injects O2 into the rooter along with Moisture... Always remember that if the Humidity moisture to keep the dome moist is below pH 6.5 then you are making acid rain. 5.5 on rooter's...7.0 for dome moisture......

20190820_232840.jpg 20190820_232917.jpg 20190820_232903.jpg A few pics, presexing, etc. I gave up on flouros and run a 600W MH bulb with a dimmable 400W Ballast. I usually go @ 200W.
Fresh cuttings are moved closer after 3 days. 3 days is the usual on cell division. Between 5 and 7 days I get feet...
