So I was doing some early flower pruning and decided to take some clones. (This was my first grow unknown bagseed from 3-4 year old shake my uncle had lol) I took only 3 clones they were really small left some leaves on it and cut the tips of it.
I never heard of cloning in flower till someone mentioned it on my grow journal so I did some research and tried it.
I did a diy method that I made up my self. I didn’t have any peat pellets so I decided to use FoxFarm Ocean Forest Potting Soil and decided to take some plastic wrap and make a contraption similar to the shape of a peat pellet and watered it with straight Tap water till moist. I didn’t use any rooting hormones basically nothing at all, I just put the clones straight into the moist soil and babied it for about a week making sure it was at a high humidity level (90%-100%) and decent temp (68-75*F) and also making sure the soil is real moist.
24hr light schedule
I stopped babying it after about 2 weeks just got tired of it and I knew I was just doing to much trying to make sure it was all perfect. So I just let it sit.
I was really skeptical about it I didn’t think they would survive none of them because I thought at first some of the yellowing must be from it dying but I was wrong, it was metabolizing it’s self to concentrate on root production (that’s what I think) They stayed alive for a pretty long time. I would have expected them to die off especially because of how small the clones were when I took them.
Then BOOM! I check on it about 4 weeks later and notice some new growth, checked on the roots and man were they long, well only 2 of them. The other one had roots but they were still small and didn’t poke threw like the other ones but I’ll still give it a chance.
I’ll have some pics later today I transplanted the other two today into solo cups FoxFarm Ocean forest potting soil with added perlite.
They’re under a regular led light bulb probably 24 watts equivalent. And I switched the light schedule to 18:6 so it can start to veg again.
I’m a noob grower and I learned that it’s not that hard to clone and I wouldn’t need any rooting hormone. Next time I’ll just throw them in a cup of water keep it even more simple.
Happy Growing!
