when to take cuttings

[DOWNLOW]

My cabs flowering room is 34" high

30" long and 19" deep. I'll be

flowering with is 400 watt on kool

tube it takes up 4" and the tubes I'm

Using take up 6", leaving me about

2' to work with and maybe 5 square

Feet. I'm trying to come up with a

Mini ebb and flo. That 400 watt killed

MobyDick#2 and my 2 other G-13 X

NYC Diesel AKA Raw Diesel that were in DWC, root

rot. I lost power to my AC. I really

Wanted that MobyDick. But I

managed to save a Raw Diesel.

This is my first version of my mini

Ebb and flo, I'm going to have move

The rez to my bottom chamber, look.

yea im gona ditch the dome man, i loose so much clones because of the acclimatisation its not even funny, hope you get success on those clones downlow, as for flowering on that system different strains you will have to have in consideration two factors:
the different nutrient needs of each strain cannot be adjusted because they hare all in the same tub, and the other one is the stretching will be diferent on them aswell, and that may led to some serious problems.
hope all goes well, im tagging along this one!
cheers

when to take cuttings ?

when to take cuttings ?

thats assuming you have a knife scissors or blade. since i did not, i tore a few rips !! i suppose you could use your teeth or fingernails too, cuz when your environment is correct for rooting, thats what will happen !! these were taken about day 25 and thrown in some dirt ...

cloning is pimp with the right attire !!

Alright the dome is not good for me

B/c with the dome cracked I see

some leaves drying right up, and

also my donor plant which has no

Dome is also showing the same

symptoms, for me its a lesson

Learned. The air in the grow room

Is saturated 62% and every thing in

there my momma plant and the clone

Plants, under the 70 watt HPS. I see I

Need a mini de- humidifier, that's too

Much humidity for this strain. Out of
9 clones 2 are not well due to. the

humidity, so any body a noob like

me we can't let humidty go this high.

humidity I feel like chucking them right

Off the team now, but with out the

dome I can just tell the rest will make
It. They're perking right up. (Hats my

Hands on training for today). /row

wit yall tomorrow. So to all the people who came out to nigjt and showed luv good looking and Over and out.

nice pic's i use the same buckets for my rez too hahaha...
looking at your cab measurements and pic's, I suggest you go with 4 maybe 6,
with 6 to 10 days of veg, after they root-up good.
then, take what ever you have left an veg-m, so you have a good group of moms for your next grow...

as for stains, I think your better off with the one - this way you have an even growth/canopy, and they all react the same to your nutes. growing an indaca dom, and a sativia dom, side by side, does not work well in tight spaces under one light, one will out stretch the other, and may not like the high/low ppms from your nutes.

Hey Brought Supirior, yea I got rid of the Dome.

Whodair, do you rip em off often, and if so whats your success rate.

whats up MK6, yea I like the tubs, I need one a little bigger b/c I'm

going to turn them into ebb and flow. My 400 watt is too much heat

for DWC in my small space, I lost power to AC couple of days while i

was out and came back and saw the plants were drying out, slime

on the roots, hydroponic shop advised hydro compost tea "ecolizer, but I

bought the gh flora shield. Didn't work, so I ditched the mobydick#2

now just got the one flavor G-13 x NYC diesel aka Raw Diesel. which

I plan to learn the Hell out of it. I had RH problems, but I'm such a

boob, umn excuse me noob, I didnt even realise one of my intakes

were covered.

 

[DOWNLOW]

Ok, here's a lil update, on the clones.

Thus far three out of nine have died,

Out of 6 left one has begun to root, I

Got four more that look perky, I

Believe I'll come out with 5 of the

Original nine on my first clone

project. My donor plant is getting

big,

By time my clones are ready it'll be

Humongous, I think I'm going jus

flower that out and use the clones

For the next grow. It depends how

the clones take. Has anyone ever

used this before. It compost made

For hydro. Sorry about the bad pic.

 

[smokeduhchewy17]

can i take clone 3 weeks into flowering? or will this be really hard its my first grow and i want some clones of my tw shes a beaut but i dont want to take the lower nodes off and lose all that bud

 

[DOWNLOW]

What up Ductchey, now I'm no expert

On cloning for sure, as I've lost

Another clone, but I know for sure

That you can take a clone or more at

That time. It will jus take longer for

Them to root and revert to veg from

Flowering. I can't remember who's

Thread I was scabbing and someone

Spoke about a well known guy in IC

That always took his clones in the

third week of flowering, forgive that

I'm not too good with names, but he

Said they always turned out for his

Next grow taking them on time, how

do plan to clone Dutch.

Help

Hey ppl's i got my clones but I did the dumbest thing ever. So I took my clones two weeks ago, 5 out of 9 clones have taken root.

I think that's good, they're not doing so good, and this why. I started with tap water that sat for a day or two, took 9 cutting and

some GH Flora sheild. I say ok lets see what this do, oh yea, I started in a lil diy bubble cloner, under a seedling heating mat, in the

shadows of a 70 watt hps in my cab. I saay this good conditions but I look at them all the time checking for roots, and after 8 days I say

Some have roots and others dont and put hydro compost in there and I just realize it they,re looking bad. I put plain water ph'd.

Rinsed the roots and waiting to see what happens.

Here are some pics should I toss them and start new clones ?

 

[DOWNLOW]

Yea what, still kicking in strong. Three out of 9 clones made it, tossed one slacker, transplanted 2 in to pro mix. I can see the shock in the plAnts from the procedure wish I had sum super thrive. Oh well I'm just going to use a light solution of clonex on them. Plus I'm transferring my established plant from DWC to Flood and Drain. I turned the 400 watt on for a few days and sure enough it seems it was getting my rez too hot, and the plant is drinking half the rez in no time, its only about 2 gallons in a 3.8 gallon tub. Also I'll be flowering it out under the 400 watter probably Monday. So I need to figure out how to switch to flood and drain.

Next on the list is to take more clones I got a lil bush now. So I'm still trying to refine my cloning skills which I'll be doing after this post live, in front of everybody today, yea boyeee. (Flava Flav Voice)

flower time

flower time

Its been a while since my last post every time I try I want to post pics and I keep getting the message that says I've exceeded my quota. Any how, it seems I totally suck at cloning but thats another story, b/c now Im into flowering. I'm just hoping what was going on with cloning doesn't carry over into my flowering it doesn't seem so though at the moment.

K, im at day 19 12/12 about 10 or 11 days since the hairs started showing, I dont know what day to actually start my count, so Im just looking for signs, but this is where im at now.

 

[smokeymacpot]

if you have no cuttings that rooted ok then take some ASAP from that big plant, there are nice cuttings to be had from it lower down and its still okay to take them!

i would take larger cuttings next time, imo yours were small and althought you can get them to clone okay, there can be more deaths. with bigger ones i get less deaths, almost none infact. dome and 1 cfl and in 2weeks they root and 3weeks i can remove from dome and pot up.

 

[DOWNLOW]

Thanx for the help SmokeyMacPot, I took sum more clones big ones too, but I'm moving right after this grow and I'll start my cloning efforts again. Right now I'm working on trying to flower correctly.

I lollipopped it at least I hoped I did, they say don't take more than half of your plant off, well I think I did and defoiliated, this is truly uncharted territory for me, I did a rez change on what I believed was day 15 of flower and used the Rez Recipe with the kool bloom it might have been a bit early for that I don't know but I haven't seen any adverse effect yet. Here she is.

Forget cloning guys I got an odor problem. This is what I'm working with a 400 watt lamp in DIY cool tube 14" bake around, which air is sucked out by a 4" centrifugal fan rated at an airflow of 290m 3/h what ever that means blowing the removed air from the cab into a 14", 4" scrubber . Only thing I can think of to do is, take the filter and put it inside the cab and suck the air out through that but in doing that I'll have to loose the cool tube that I can leave my hand on indefinitely, and it's what I believe is keeping my stretch in check. If that don't work then it gotta be the carbon has to be changed. Bummer right yea I know.
