Me neither tbh, if it could be pushed a bit further it would let people take clones as they flip then root them when the flowering is done lol.
I couldn’t of seen this at a better time bro please let me get some advice on storing them and avoiding the mushy stems I need to store like 30-50 clones for 8+ weeks

I have a small refrigerator in my garage where my grow room is. When I want to save cuttings I cut them a little long so I can recut when ready to root, and put them in ziplock bags. I puff air in to expand the bag and zip it up. They'll last a very long time that way.

Ok I was trying to decide if I should get a vacuum seal bag or just a ziplock thanks

A put my one in a zip lock bag and in the bottom of the fridge, no special treatment.

The next time I'll keep them under dim lighting for 48hrs then under T5s but not as close as maybe 20/24" for a week or until the lime green on the inside of the leaves turn dark/normal.

I'd also keep the temps down for the 1st week, you'll see them picking up but hold off until the lime green is green green on the inside of leafs and growing tip.

The mushy stem thing I can't work out I don't know enough about it all, what I can say is the ones were NOT SUBMERGED done just fine no sign of mushy stem.
If I've missed anything give me a shout.

This is the 1st one out and got soft lighting and cool temps from at the start.

I've never given the plant consistent light they've went from to much to too little 2/3 times in the past 3 weeks.

44 days It's coming along nicely, it was repotted on the 1st December.
I've had lots of issues with the led, low temps and bleaching so it's never been able to really get going until now, that's 44 days today.
After reading this thread a couple of weeks ago I went ahead and tossed a few potential clones in a ziplock and tossed them in the crisper drawer of the fridge. They look the same today as they did when I bagged them up.

I put some more in the fridge a couple of weeks ago, this time I'm aiming for 10 weeks and I'm quietly confident they will be fine going by the last batch.

I'm going to be pulling those clones out of the fridge today. I think there's 3-4 of them. ILGM blue haze... I had to give it away, so I kept some cuts. My 2x4 is cleared, and cleaned up so I'm going to give this a shot.
