I have some clones, but i need to keep them about 14 days before i veg them.

Should i keep the domes on the trays and just keep them watered.

I need to keep them in stasis somewhat till they are ready anyone have experience with this??

Thanks

I have never done it, but,
I read here about people keeping cuts refrigerated for a Month:yoinks: IIRC.
I know there is ways to do this and I read about that one, cuts in a moist towel in a baggie, in the fridge....
I also read about keeping them in a cup of water in the fridge...
Continue your search here bro, I know I've read about it.
Hope this bump catches someone's i for you.

Peace

These clones have roots and are very healthy, thats the prob.
I can always make new cuts but i hate wasting these.
It was a miscalculation.

I have seen videos and posts where people have clones sitting in trays they havent used for like 2 months, and they still recover.

I Just need some advice and maybe some experience.

Thanks

pot them into tiny pots (presuming you are in soil) without many nutes and dont give them too much light. then pot up into your vegging pots when you are ready to go.

Its aeropnics.
I switched up from coco.
But they grow so fast in the aero, that i need to keep them in clone form untill a week before they go into flower.

you could put them in a small rock wool cube (no larger than the container/net pot you are using in your aero system) and let the roots grow into their. If anything this will give you a healthy, root stabilized plant.

not sure of your exact situation but that may help

I have slabs of rockwool that i have from bags of left over insulation that look the same as the other stuff. about 2 x 4 ft long.
I will try that and see what happens.
 
i would just cut way back on nutes and keep pinching the tops, keep them out of direct light and in two week your have short thick plants with tons of shutes

I had this problem a few months back. I got some small dixie cups, set the rockwool clones in them and filled em up with perlite (to keep the lights off the roots). Worked fine, and I found it to be better then light pruning the babies.

u need them in 2 weeks? just top them if they are getting too tall.

IF you wanted to keep them for say 2 months, then you need 1x 18w cfl, very very small pots and to keep topping them. however they do suffer and can look ill, but will recover after transplant and more light.
