Any harm in potting clones before roots show?

[kalikush]

I took some clones about 8-10 days ago, so roots should be showing up any day. 3 of them looked really bad (bent over, drooping, etc...) for the first 3-5 days but since then, they look great. They are standing up straight, all leaves are perky, green, etc... Im sure they are rooting but I wont really have time to pot them for the next couple days after tonight. I do plan on keeping some sort of dome over them and to continue spraying them until they are acclimated to my veg environment.

If they have had a dome over them since you took the cuts and you expose them to the outside before you harden them off they will have problems at first and will want to fall over and your leafs will wilt and can die

Even if I have the dome over the pots for the next couple days then acclimated them to no dome?

Is my pic against the rules?? I looked but didnt see any rules against avatars.. I guess I'll change it tho..



I left the clones in open air today and forgot they were out. I found them an hour and a half later and they were fine. I even saw one tiny root coming out the top on one of them. I'll probably just give it a shot..

i dont like usen dome my average RH is 20% or less most of the time, i root my clones in a small DYI 15 site bubbler i made. usally most have roots w/in 14 days some take longer i keep cuts in 3 wks untill all have sufficient roots for soil. what method of cloning r/u using ???

I had a similar avatar, but with two nude chicks lying in a bed and smoking weed not too long ago, and I think that was frowned upon, because one day my avatar was simply taken away. It was great for my rep points while it lasted though !

I use rapid rooters with clonex gel in a small clear rubbermaid. I tried one of the diy fish tank bubblers on my last batch of clones but had my rapidrooter clones root before I saw any roots on any of the cuts in the bubbler. I guess I'll stick to what works.


greenhead I've seen that pic out there too, all the 420 girls

I clone almost the exact same way you do Kalikush. I use clonex, rapid rooters, and a humidity dome. I always acclimate them to lower humidity at around day 6 or so, and I rarely lose a clone.

After cutting the clones, let them soak for a few hours in water (I add some superthrive to the solution, since it contains rooting hormones), and they won't droop.

Bubbler or dome, a high Rh is a must.

I've taken cuts and put them straight into promix, promix/manure, and tap water. just make sure there is enough "skinned" stem touching enough moisture. no matter how you slice it, if you do that, they will root.
