Hello all. As the title says, I took a couple of clones from the only plant I have to determine the sex.
The plant was grown from 10yr old seed and I have NO IDEA what the sex is!
This is the first time I have taken clones for sexing but I thought it sounded straightforward enough. the idea is that you put the clones directly to a 12hr cycle and they will show their sex as they put down minimal roots too. I wanted to try it so..
They are in a mix of peat based compost and sharp sand. Watered with tap water.
Something is wrong and I do not know what!
Here are the pics to show what has happened to them.

Both Clones, here the one on the left is looking really bad and only had a day or so left until it croaked.
At the beginning they were fine. they went a bit yellow but that is normal as far as my experience tells me. I always used to use some kind of booster mix like 'Greenup' on young clones when I grew a few years ago and I had an almost 100% success rate. Well this time it seems my percentage has dropped right down!!
The one that has now died is this one:
As you can see, the other is still living but looking pretty sickly itself too. Notice the tip has got some brownish colouring to it. It really is touch and go. If the brown gets worse then, like the other one, the tips will go grey or white and then die.
Just before the other one died I tried giving it a very weak solution of miracle Gro.
Bad idea.
It shrivelled and died faster so then it looked like a total nutrient overload!?
Any ideas on this would be appreciated!
NOTE: thought I should have said, these are cloned from a plant that I think is an old NLxDurban seed from sensi seeds about ten years ago! I used to grow and mix them, breeding and experimenting and this seed was from an old bag of them I had. It is most likely from growing that hybrid and crossing it with skunk#1 to produce seeds which were actually a really great smoke and very fit, bushy potent plants! So...best guess is NLxDurban or NLxDurban, crossed with Skunk#1.
Also, the clones were put to 12hr cycle from the first day. They have now been on this for over 4 weeks and still no show of sex. I am now giving up on this idea!
Oh and if any of you would like to have a quick look at my microGrow thread I would appreciate it. I need some of your brains over there so I can pick them!
