Mini me clone idea

[MIMedGrower]

Yea thats my goal , to get away from domes, its just super dry where i do clones and run into problems with fragile cuts.....

I thought they would do poorly in the 45% humidity. But they did fine.

Im starting to think its all a myth. Lol.

Hey MIM , could we cut a fllowering clone and root it , and keep it flowering to produce the minni est bud ? Never thought of that one .....

Yea , my problem is its bone dry , like arizona summer dry

I always used a dome until this fall when i lost all my clones to pm.

The cuttings i showed above were just placed out from under the direct light along the sides of the 3x3 tent. They did eat their leaves a bit faster put in the open but also rooted faster and started growing sooner than expected.

Temp lights on about 73 farenheight. Maybe lower near the floor. And humidity 45-50% max.

I wont use a dome again I dont think.

Do you think the pm originated in the dome ?

Well my auto i stunted recovered and flowered an extra month and yielded a quarter pound. An ounce more than the fast healthy ones.

My “hermie” seeds have never hermied again.

I have much better results using no bloom nutes or additives.

Big dense lower buds grow in thick canopies of leaves. (I think its air flow not light that defoliating helps.)

And now the clone thing. Even the 11.5 week ripe flower grew into a new plant eventually.

Maybe we should start a busted myth thread.

My house is in winter with the propane furnace going. I use a whole house humidifier to keep it above 45 for the plants and our health.

And a couple de humidifiers in the open basement to keep things under 60% for mold prevention.

No its in the atmosphere like any mold spores. The conditions became favorable so it latches on and grows.

I guess so. Thats what happens with an auto cutting.

Hey foutwenty , yea , ive done the same thing with my dome , fried em ...

Its a delicate balance in dome world , on the one hand you want them to be all comfy and not stressed by the outdoor environment , so you dial em in , opening a crack etc....

Then ive decided they were ready for more light , placed them under , left them alone without cracking yhe little vent a bit , and next thing you know ... "death at the sauna".....

Are they from a flowering plant ?
Because thats going to be a different story....

Yea i wouldent use anything hot to start my cuts in , but good for you pushing the envelope , now another thing we can observe....

My new philosophy is as long as they are standing up , and at least a pinch green with no rot, chances are good....

Yea i wouldent tug on them yet , but i think you wont see any movement for another 10 days ( unless they are from flowers like MIM s grow )

Oh i see you ssid they are in peat etc , so they are not starting in a hot mix ...o.k. messaage for foutwenty

Ha haa , yea we both never thought of that , or maybe we thought of it for a second at some time and said , what would be the point !

Well some of the peay that I used came from a pot I'm a different plant, artichoke plant to be exact. Then I mixed it up and put the clones in it not thinking about the nutrients that we're already in peat...oops, what's done is done that was 11 days ago and I'm running with this lol
