I really hope so! Haha im not trying to get my hopes up because you have to account for any variables in these things.you don't think that 3 days seems a little fast for a clone to root?
first time cloning,need experienced opinions

I doubt it already rooted. That seems to take about a week. It seems to me that if a clone is not going to take they normally die in a couple day's. That one looks like it already got through the touchy part. keep doing what your doing, should be ready to go in about a week give or take.

Ok sorry,I shouldve known thats what you meant,I guess im just thinking a little too optimistically,so as long as I keep everything as consistent as it's been it has a greater chance? Would the first few days basically be the uphill part of cloning?

Yes, for me at least it has been. Lol, be optimistic, this little clone will grow you a pound that you'll sell for 10,000 buck's and mad nocha! Yeah keep it up,you should start seeing root's in a few more day's then it's just another plant ready to rock!

If she perked up she's still able to try for some roots. Lots of different views but I believe just make sure that dome is humid. Even just a little condensation on the side is good enough. Also make sure you don't water much she's not drinking just yet, her stem in the soil will rot and she will fool you by staying perky for weeks. Clones don't need a lot of light MH I believe are more then needed, a good old florescent will do just fine. Keep the lights off the plant again they don't need a lot of light. Heat mats are awesome I'd suggest having the cup/pot raised up a bit from it though. If you see the end of her leaves starting to burn, she's eatting herself to stay alive spray her leaves with a light bloom spray top and bottom (not the soil to much water around the stem is a bad thing, can't stress enough) When she looks a lil different an when you see bright green growth she's done it. Don't just take off the dome and think every thing will be a ok start cutting holes every other few days once it's opened up a bit take it off. Give her a few weeks from here on out in the container she's in. Oh ya don't move it around a lot if you can not touch it for about a week( check on it to make sure it isn't dried out) it would up your chances IMO.

A pound would be high expectations in my case haha,im hoping for atleast an ounce,even a qp seems like having high hopes for my skill set

Thanks for your input
I can cross a check mark on humidity,the soil hasn't received any water since the first initial light water I gave when I placed it in the soil so thats checked off too.I am using a 400 watt mh bulb because its the only light I have for that spectrum,but my ballast is dimmed to 50 percent and the reflector is raised 4' above it so im kind of just using it to create more heat to help from the room getting too cold.I know most people go with florescents but ive read that people have rooted under hid lighting and had no trouble with it

Yes I've rooted under a MH as well as a HPS. Should be fine, still would suggest blocking off the direct light in some way. Well good luck.

So i woke u this morning to my power being out,my light schedules all fucked,hopefully it'll be back on by the time it's scheduled for lights on
Edit: power went out an hour before it was supposed to be lights off so as long as it comes on soon im good

88 hours since cut,I moved it out of direct light by letting one side of my light hang lower than the other side.then I moved the clone to the side of the cabinet that was shadowed a little bit

So today is day 5,right now is 112 hours from cut.yesterday I took the dome off for longer than usual to see how it would react.whithin 10 minutes top set of leaves curled up just slightly but leveled back out within 5 or 10 more minutes she got an hour outside of the dome before I put it back on,then all night back under the dome,then came back out for 4 hours during her lights off.I decided against using the indirect light from the mh because the top leaves are getting bigger and I don't know if it was because light intensity or something else so I just switched to two 23 watt 2700k cfls that are spaced a foot from the top.if someone could have a look and tell me if there is something that they notice that I might need to be aware of I would really appreciate it

Absolutely, I f'd around for years with soil and a bunch of different methods. Built an aero cloner for about $30 one afternoon last year and would never go back to any other method, it's easy, it works, it's faster, cleaner, 90%+ success rate, what's not to like?

I feel like the next item im going to have to Break down and get is an areo cloner haha,thats how it went with the hid lights I just bought too,ive been reading into it and they look really interesting and I like the fact that you can look at the root progress,but in terms of the clones health,does she look alright?

Those top leafs have just recently got that size,they were hardly even a half inch long when I first cut it.would it be more beneficial to cut the tips now or just leave it as is?
