clones

i cut clones 17 days ago and still no root they are sour desiel the last ones were showing roots by day 14 but not ready to be transplanted till like 3 and a half weeks and these one are just like brown where i dipped them i know sd is slow but how slow is the question

Sure hard to leave shit alone sometimes, ain't it.
Got enough stem/nodes to re-do it? (If it's rotten/rotting?)
I'm forced to try and clone at 65-70*f . . . talk about slow. Last batch came quick, but it was warm then.
I hope she survives.

I have not taken clones yet. I am still Growing my mother plants. I have 4 Red Desiel plants. Do you have a heating mat to put under the tray you have then clones in? That might help with the lower temps.

You talkin' to me?
I'm about maxxed out of power in this old house, but do have them under fluros, near the pellet stove, which I set them on a couple of times a day to warm the rootzone. I'm in no hurry right now . . . no room in bud-a-torium.

Jeez... 3 weeks; somethings gotta be wrong there. Maybe you're keeping the rooting medium too wet? It's funny though; I can root a clone in a glass of water, but if I keep Rapid Rooters or rockwool too wet they turn to mush. WTF is up with that?

When I need a mother plant, I only use a clone that has rooted inside of 10 days. Anything that takes longer than 14 days gets composted. I grow hybrids so that may have something to do with it though. If I was growing something inbred like Original Haze I'd probably have to adjust my timeline.

my clones are in areo cloner and last batch could have been done around 14 but i like a lot of root cause i go striaght to 12/12. but yes it is day 17 and not roots so i guessd i will just throw these away and take some more.

I understand letting the root system grow to a decent size and that's a good idea, but if the cut didn't have any roots after 14 days I wouldn't use it.

yea i just got a new cloner so my regular 2 week yeild is all good so i just cut the node off and re dip and will wait 2 more weeks and see. i also up a lil heater in the water cause it is cooler then it was last run. thanks for the help and i should have pic up soon i am a 1st timer but very happy how my stuff is looking
