So I tried cloning for my first time using Liquid Hormex for rooting compound, into 2" rockwool cubes.. I've been told this straing "SFV OG" is kinda hard to clone, and it definetely is a finicky strain to grow so I believe it. Anyway, I used about 0.4 EC G.H. FloraBloom, but I added a pinch of Mg/So4 (epsom) cuz I believed the plants were a lil deficient when I took the cuts, and just a bit of Hormex so total EC was just above 0.5 & Ph 5.6. The Grodan cubes I got say they only need a 10 sec. soak, but I soaked them for about half an hour tops. I've heard so many times they need a 24 hour soak to correct the Ph, but i checked it after the cubes had sat for 30 min and it was still 5.6 so I figured I was good. I only had 2 cuts so it was a small container with just 2 cubes soaking. I cut at a 45 degree then did a half-ass lil scoring towards the bottom then just as directions say I soaked the bottom in straight Hormex for Over 1 min. (They say 1 min). and there was even 2 nodes on the bottom of one of em! This is where I think I fucked up, I for some reason forgot what I've seen and been told 100 times and used the hole in the middle instead of poking a new hole with the cut.. I stuck em down in good and tore a lil chunk of each one to fill it in a bit, but it is very possible that some O2 was getting in there... After just a week I thought they were already rooted cuz I shook em just a bit and they were obviously anchored into the block, Kept them in a humidity dome on a heat pad, but the pad is just a regular heating pad so I wasn't able to run it all the time, I would turn it on every once in awhile and then turn it back off after cuz it would get too warm. Other than that it was about 75F-77F and I took the hood off once a day cuz there's no holes in it. So Now 3 weeks later after still seeing NO roots out the bottom I pulled em and was extremely surprised at what I saw!!
Check this out, I hope someone knows why this happened and can help me..
Obviously they tried to root, But something went wrong! Below is the other one
They never turned yellow or wilted, its like they actually were pulling in nutes from these Nubs somehow cuz even after 3 weeks the bigger lower leaves were falling but NO wilt, AND it honestly looked like there was new growth on both of them!! Although it was hard to tell.. Here's some more pics from a lil further away. If ANYONE has any advice I really need it, cuz my Mom plant is more than ready for quite a few cuts, and I need to get some of em to root...
Here's the other one from further, New growth and still plenty green and ALIVE
Any Advice Is very much appreciated Thank you in Advance..
