Worried about my cuttings, plz help

[Ministro]

Hey i took my cutts 6 days ago. My moms where kinda low in potassium. Some stems where a bit purple and woody. I gave them nutrients 2 weeks before taking cutts and they where fine but purple and woody stayed, cause only new grow came nice. They are not looking bad but im worried if they will root with a stiffer stem.... or they may take longer to root??... anyone know about this????

peace

I don't worry about purple stems, never have.

CLONES, PURPLE STEMS

A LITTLE FOREST OF PURPLE STEMS

50 CLONES, ALL HEALTHY, PURPLE STEMS

Purple stems = vascular system working, they are feeding, they have roots.

Whats that some kind of joke?
im worried also about woody stems, they where not soft like they usually do.

YOur pic looks like a forrest of a lot of trim that wherent usable, your joking right?

ok man thanks, so the woody wouldnt make them not rooted, maybe longer time right ??

forgot to mention that i peeled the external layer of skin from the cutting only the botton tip....
they look normal anyway...

Maybe a little bit longer but generally semi hardwood is the best material to use for cuttings, keep going, you should be alright.

Might be that mess your rooting in, looks like a LOT of algae. What are you rooting under? i see quite a few people using t5's, which is too strong.

Hey High country, 10% of cuttings are showing first signs. They are starting to pull some roots. I hope in two days they explode

With doing cuts alot, I look for those "woody" ones cause they start slow but end up blowing my mind! keep the faith....just sayin...but mostly...HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeha dont trip on wood, work on 'your' technique. In fact, DesertSquirrel has a bomb thread on somehwere else about rooting fast & amazingly!

 

[budshoteyes]

The thread I believe is "rooting with rock wol"
Notice that rock wool in title only has one O

That "mess" is sphagnum moss, very effective, read the link below. It's in one of FreezerBoys stickys.......2x36W Grolux cfls.
