How come cloning has been going on for 1000's of years and now all of a sudden it's an issue.....beyond me?

Happy cloning.

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?

Do NOT use FF OF. Stuffs too hot, even for seeds!

Try promix instead.

I used FFOF to grow from seeds successfully, but used a small glass when filling
the 3 gallon smart pots to make a small hole in the top of the soil. I filled this with
FF Light Warrior, and placed the germinated seeds into the LW.

I also fed with plain water plus Liquid Karma for the first two or more weeks, to allow
the FFOF work on its own and cool down a tad.

Good luck,

I have taken cuttings (2 days ago), used clonex, and placed them in 16oz. plastic cups filled with a soil mixture, light on the nutes. I have 72 clones in a 10' by 10' room with 25% humidity (today the humidity is low). I have put a humidifier in there. I was wondering what would be the best humidity for my room? I have in the past kept it at 45-50% RH. Does anyone have a different idea on humidity?

[joe guy]

I'd say 60 to 90 percent rh untill they show roots then 45 or so will work
Just remember vpd it's a killer if they are not ready.. I'm not 100 percent on the
Math but search VPD ( I think it was called vpd a passive plant killer)
I maybe wrong I'm sure a guru will chime in shortly

So say you get some these fancy Feminised seeds. Can the female plant that grows from a feminised seed be cloned with the same quality the mother plant?

[goodsmokejoe]

Yea u can clone fem seeds I do it all the time

Nice its much simpler than i thought lol

Excellent thread, I'm now looking forward to putting things here into practice.

Well Done!

My grandma would grab cuttings of plants she liked from anywhere and everywhere. Kept a paper towel in her bag always. Seen her snip one from the Dr's office when the girl wasn't looking, wrapped it, went to the bathroom and dampened the towel and back in her bag. She had a 90% success rate with a multitude of different plants doing the same thing every time.

Very useful info, thank you. Thanks also for the clear visual presentation.
