Yeah, well i have mine inside under 2 6500K 23w bulbs and 1 42w 2700k bulb, for full spectrum, but root growth is either not happening or super slow
A little bummed. i tied string around the plugs, because the tops looked loose and could be letting slight amount of light through
thats what was holding the plant to the plug :P lol
Oh well, i have faith in my girls. They could have roots by the end of next week for sure.
Hoping for the best :)
Best of luch to you Kman

Also my lower leaves are losing color (clones are at least 5 to 6 nodes high, i know a little long) and is a sign that the plant is drawing the nutrients from itself to sustain itself.
A little worried, but if they don't root within next week, i'm think i can cut under a lower node (due to its long stem and height) and possibly start over with smaller clones :)
Keep in mind, i only have three clones, lol

Well i just read that my clones should be in low light to help root growth
Too much could lead them to forcefully photosynthesize :) lol
so gonna switch up the lighting and i'll keep you posted

Well, i checked on the clones today
No root growth whatsoever. Gonna keep em in there for a bit longer, but might have to cut em down to like 4 nodes, and try again. Think i might use clonex, because this willows not working for me

They're in the black cups to help stop light, so they only get what they need, and they can start making roots

The plant is also very springy, and healthy, so maybe its in the process of making roots? i dunno
Maybe i'm just freaking out for nothing, lol
Tips, advice?

Nice, looking really good. By the looks of it, mine won't root till next week. Maybe this strain takes longer to root?
Some take 10 days to show roots
Just gonna keep mine under 24 hours of light
Are you 18/6? or 24?

Well, the race isn't over yet!! I fixed my clones lighting problem, and have been uncovering the domes like 3-4 times a day, and misting like 2-3
I've left em alone, and checked up a little today, and they're feeling snug
Hopefully by this next week, they'll sprout out the bottom

Going to give them about 2-3 days, and i'll have an update video
