just 3 questions ?

[420tyme]

#1- when you take a cutting to clone

how often do you water the clone ?

#2- can you use those peat pellets to put clones in ?

#3- when you use l.s.t

does it slow the growth of the plant down due to the low stress ?

all your info is greatly appreciated !!!

1 when the plant has a good few nodes on it (water as normal).
2 peat pellets are excellent for clones and building up roots.
3 start LST when the stems and petioles are nice and strong (after you have transplanted the jiffys in to pots). And it will grow just as quick when to start to LST.

Good luck with everything.

1-2) CLONERS- a collection of various methods Pick a method, any method.

3) LST increases growth. The top bud sends a signal to the rest of the plant to stay down while it takes all the good stuff. Cut the head off, the next two take over and send the same message. Bend the tip, and the message becomes "I've fallen and can't get up." Now EVERY stem will try to be the big cola.

Yes good advice there "Fb".

i already took my cutting and shit

but thanks for your info and your link

i didnt know you could root the plant in just str8 water like that

i will most def try that next time .......

I can't but, many can. That, in a nutshell, is the truth about cloning. What saves one grower may doom another. My bubbler does everything "wrong" but delivers 100% success for me. Done "correctly", it kills everything I put in it.

Never give up. If you're current method fails, try another. Mix and match till it works for you.

What happened to my links "Fb" ??????
Is this your way of disturbing things ??????

 

[DOWNLOW]

I had a plant break off at the stem,

And I put it in a water bottle, and

just sat it on the window sill not

Expecting much from it. After 3 days

I had bumps, day 5 or 6 a root then

Ten days and 3 weeks all in this

water bottle, with water straight

Out the tap, look ! Just as easy as

that. Hope it helps and hope we can

Learn together here, happy growing.

CLONING.

Materials required

- Fluorescent light
- plastic tub
- liquid rooting hormone
- sharp knife/scalpel
- superthrive
- ph tester and adjuster

Cloning...
Take cuttings from clean, disease-free stock. Cuttings taken from plants that have been deprived of nutrients, especially water, will respond poorly. Cuttings of equal length foliage and color should be selected and must not contain deformities in leaf growth pattern for optimum uniformity of the plants after rooting. Select cuttings from the most vigorously growing portion of the plant; this is where the highest concentration of auxins (growth hormones) are found. Cuttings selected should be green barked and should not contain any of the woodier type bark which indicates age. The finished cutting should be as short as possible 4-5 inches is preferred. Remember, auxins are more concentrated at the growing tip. Three of four small, well-formed leaves should be left intact. The propagation area and all containers should be carefully cleaned to reduce the danger of infection. Fill plastic tub or other suitable container with clean water. It should not contain fertilizer, but it is advisable to adjust the ph to 6.4 (6.2 to 6.6 is acceptable). Also, add superthrive at a ratio of 10 drops per U.S. gallon. Maintain the water at a temperature of 78 degrees (26C).

The cuttings taken should be at least 1 inch longer than you are going to use make the cut with a sharp knife and immediately place the entire cutting into the PH adjusted water. While the cutting is under water, cut it to the final length. Make the cut in a single, smooth motion at a 45-degree angle to the stem. If there is an internode at the cut point, make your cut directly below the node. With the cutting still submerged remove any excess leaves. If there are no internodes at the cut, make three or four shallow vertical slits (no deeper than the outer bark) upward from the cut along the stem about 1/2 inch. These cut must be made with the cutting submerged or air will be sucked into the stem causing what as know as an air embolism in which bubbles block the movement of water up the stem. An air embolism can cause death or slow the rooting process by weeks. This is known as the sip of life technique. By making all secondary cuts underwater, you eliminate air bubbles, reduce unnecessary strain on the clone and allow the cutting to stabilize in a fluid environment. After making your second cut and removing any excess leaves under water, remove the cutting and submerge the cut end in a liquid rooting hormone. Make sure at least 1 inch of the cutting is placed in the hormone.

Reduce cutting stress...
By controlling light levels, humidity and temperature, your job is to keep the cutting in a complete state of dormancy. Cuttings with out roots are very sensitive to stress. Every effort should be made to minimize evaporation from the cuttings and avoid extreme light and temperature levels. Keep humidity as close to 100 percent as possible and maintain water and substrate temperatures at between 70 and 84 degrees (21-29C). Cooler water will slow root formation; warmer water will encourage disease. The lower the humidity level, the more water the plant will transpire, causing the cutting to use up stored food for things other than root production. It is important to hold the leaves as dormant as possible and permit the cutting to use more of it's energy on root development.

i dont have the liquid rooting hormone

i have the powder will that be sufficient ?

also i dont have superthrive but i can more then likely get some

what does the superthrive do ?

is it only for clones or can it be used on veg or flowering plants also ?



oh ,

if i take a cutting and try out the water method

would it be ok to put it under my cfls

or do i need to keep it in the dark ?

i took a cutting just a min ago and stuck it str8 in water

is their a different time frame from forming roots with this method then the other ways

or do they all take around the same amount of time to develop roots ?
