So I built a clone machine. I used a 5 gal rubber maid tote, and some air stones. I used one of those big foam puzzle pieces you use to cover a concrete floor, and my whole saw.
The 7 clones I took a month back, 3 survived and grew roots. The plant I took them from was not healthy at all, but I did have some nice shoots I thought would work. Guess not. 2 of the 3 are still in cubes. I ripped the third cube open gently to see if any roots where forming on it. No roots but some bumps, stem doesn't look very nice. So I thought what the heck, throw it in the cloning machine!!! Well overnight them bumps pushed out a couple roots!!
Before sending the 7 unknown into flower, I trimmed all the very bottom shoots off every plant, I labeled them all as to which plant they came from, I managed to get 5 off of each the sativa sisters, and around 2 or off the other 4 plants. Well they ALL have roots now!! I soaked my cubes in
Clonex at the directions on the bottle, for 24hrs not a minute longer. I then gently squeezed them all out and widened the hole with a pen. I then re-cut each clone under water at 45 and dipped into
Clonex Cloning Gel and placed into the cubes. I pressed some of the rockwool against the stems, but not every cube. I thought maybe this was the reason the other 7 never had success. I then placed the dome over them, and have opened it for a few seconds each day while gently blowing air over the tray of cuttings. I also kept the cuttings much closer together in the tray, and never used the egg crate. They are pushing out beautiful white fuzzy roots. Now I need to build my Veg Buckets tomorrow night!! Need to veg these girls slowly in a DWC until Haloween.
