I don't know if it was mentioned in the tread earlier, but I think the use of Hydrogen peroxide, will/should kill the stem rot that has been causing me so much problems!

I use potting mix and follow the instruction at the beginning of the tread, it has not worked out good for me so far, my temps are constant 80+ and my RH is very high. (I live 10 feet from the sea.) i use a dome and everything, right now my success has been %20 it rose to %80, once, when i used aloe Vera as a fungicide, but the aloe has to be fresh or it doesn't work, this is where i got the idea of using hydrogen peroxide as a foliar spray to keep stem rot at bay, i know hydro growers use it to kill root rot can this work? or do i need to take clones like how i dry my buds! 2in away from a standing fan at full blast!!!!!

hi peeps just thought i would give you my 2cents worth.....i seen a clip on youtube forgot the title but will find it and the guy had healthy cuts with thick white roots popping out every where,he said the trick that nobody ever talks about is roots need p or did he say k for root production can't remember my bad ,so he said he use's a 1 part bloom fertalizer at 200ppm and thats it rooting gel or powder ofcouere too..he used somthing from fox farm cant remember,,,, i only had canna a+b so i used that to 5ltrs of water i used about 2 to 3 mls of a+b...now you got to bare in mind i am a hit and miss kinda guy when it comes to taking cuts am kinda shit actually,,,so i took 25 and only needed 12 and guess what a 100% sucsess apart from the 3 i ripped the rock cube open to see if they were rooting wich they were so i binned em knowing i had more than enough to cover me so please try the 200ppm of bloom fert and watch them cuts root like never before

1. topped each plant,and quickly placed the cut branches into a cup of clean,tap water

2.i scraped some of the stems with a razor blade,to expose the inner tissue

3.i quickly remvoed from the cup of water,dipped into rooting powder,then stuck them firmly into the rapidrooters.

4.i sterilized the rapidrooters by boiling them in water,then i left them soaking in a bowl of roots exullerator

5.after i stuck them in the rr's,i cut off the tips of leaves,to prevent water loss and wilting

6.after it was all done,i sprayed with clean tap water


my question is,in the cloning tray (i used an icecube tray) the rapidrooters are sitting in water,should i drain this water or leave it.im concerned about damp off,and the water getting stagnant.

Drain the juice and allow the natural drying process for root stimulation cuz the cubes sittin in juice is no bueno........but.......

An easy way ta handle it is to drill a hole in the bottoms of the ice cube trays and put em on a cookie sheet so all yas gotta do is pour some weak juice solution and let em wick it up from the bottom as they dry out and promote root growth.............

HTH...DHF..............

To get an iday of how much water you need, to take cuts i use potting mix, i wet it and then take a handful and squeeze out all the water then its good to go for 3-4 days.

Hydrogen peroxide in some water stops stem rot dead in its tracks.

Hay y'all!

Just took my first cuttings for clones, now I got a few questions if I may.

1- Can/will cuttings do well in FoxFarm OF soil for there first grow medium? They were all cut and trimmed correctly, (I think, lol!), and dipped in cloning gel before planting.
2- At the moment I have two trays with humidity domes, 10 clones each, under my 600w MH. I've got 7 plants in 24/24 for another week before they get flipped, the trays are approx 4-5ft away from the light off to the side. Will this hurt them? I'll be moving them under a 4 bulb T5 in a few days as soon as I get the other side of my room together. Temps should run around 75-68 day to night.
3- Once I flip the 7 and figure out and pull the males and there clones I'm wanting to flip the clones ASAP, how long should it take a clone to be ready to flower?

I'm doing this with just mystery seeds/good bag seed, to see if this will work or if I'll need to go out and find plugs etc. I've got good genetics waiting in the wings and don't want screw them up so this is just a learning experiment for me.

Thanks much,
Opinions?
