Clones from flowering plant

Tigerpaws · Sep 30, 2016

I'm trying really hard to get some cuttings to root from a plant that I love that was 6 weeks into flower. They are in a aeroponic cloner tomorrow makes 2 weeks and I still don't see any signs of roots I took 10 cuttings and there are still about 4 that are hanging in there. Yesturday I put a heating pad under the Res and today I put the lid of a humidity dome loosely over top. Any other suggestions or tips or tricks? This is a Bruce Banner plantand I really want to keep her going. I also have the cloner in the corner of my veg room out of the footprint of the hps with a piece of clear plastic in front of it to further diffuse the light. I thought maybe it was still too much light so tonight I hung a piece of weed block fabric in front of the plastic so now they are pretty shaded. Advice please!!!

How did you do them? Cut them off the take a clean scalpel or razor blade an dip them in some rooting hormone? That how I do mine then stuff them in root riot cubes with heating mat under it and my little led giving her 24 hr light mine USUALLY have roots by the end of the week.....oh an I keep my dome over them.

Btw my avatar is one of my current plants I wanted to keep she was flowering when I took my cuttings. Everyone has their favorite rooting gel, powder or whatever rootech is mine it's strong and never lost one other than the one my wife had done.

Takes 2-4 weeks

Yes that's how I did it only I used clones. Should I dip them in it again?
Edit: this was supposed to say Clonex

might need to wait until she done flowering and reveg her to take clones

Yes you can - but as mentioned you need to add about 1 month to your "grow
count

i've cloned a flowering blue draem santa cruz cut that was heavily in flower when i took the cuts.. it took a long, long, long time for them to root, but once they did, it took off and is still going around..
i'd say that if they're still hanging in there and aren't dead, i'd not give up on them.. i'd probably think about re-dipping them if it's been 2 weeks or so.. don't see what it could hurt really.. but yeah, i'd just keep on keeping on so long as they don't give up on you..

and take the heating pad out from under your res, you do not want warm water, those pads are for rapid rooters/ peat pellets in a tray. warm water holds practically no dissolved oxygen, which is a prime place for anaerobic bacteria to get started, i'd start adding 5-10 ml of 3% h202 for each gallon of water in your cloner. easier on your plants than chlorine, and oxygenates the water. it gets used up fast, so i'd re-apply at least twice a week, maybe 3 times

Thanks. Gives me some hope!

oh, by the way, they call the technique of taking clones from a flowering plant monster cropping, they are known to be slow starters, but when they take off they produce very bushy, healthy clones, which is why some people do it regularly

good point I forgot he said he was using a aero cloner

They'll root and if not reveg, give em time

The reason I put the heating pad under was because its only about 73 degrees in the room and the cloner is sitting on a concrete floor that is colder. The water felt pretty cold to the touch. I'll check out the H202. Not sure what that is. I also have not changed the water. I've only adjusted the pH.

h2o2 is hydrogen peroxide, like from the drug store. the stuff you get from the drug store is usually 3% concentraition. at that concentration, the max recommended dosage is 14 ml a gal, i find that an initial dose of 10 ml a gallon then a maintenance dose of 5 ml a gallon twice a week keeps my res nice and clean, roots nice and white.

people try to get the res in their dwc hydro setups down into the mid 60s, because cold water is harder for pathogens to grow in, and it holds a lot more dissolved oxygen than warm water. i'm honestly not sure that the dissolved oxygen is that important till roots actually start to grow, but the pathogen issue can be. if theres other stuff growing in your res, its competing with and possibly poisoning your plants.
so i'd leave it on the floor if it was me.

Thank you for the advice. I'll be making those adjustments today!

The 4 out of 10 survivors so far. Changed the Res water. PhD to 5.8 with 10 ml H202 per gal. Dipped in Clonex again. Would 24/7 light help or leave on 18/6?

Roger A. Shrubber · Oct 2, 2016

at least 20/4, i really think a little sleep helps em out
