You see those full blown female flowers on the right ?

Hey k , you got the good rapid rooters , the root riots are the best in my opinion, no its not to late to clone , its just going to be a bit of an ordeal for you.
Do you have the clone tray , dome , clonex , rooter trays ?
Sharp razor blade...

I have a tub that I could use as a tray, I guess. I do have clonex, no to rooter trays. We should be flush again soon. Here are pics of the SSSD. Thinking I have two males? #3 & 4 are the same plant.

I definitely acknowledged those. Cool thing is, I had it marked on my calendar and they popped up right on time for the halfway point. The flowering ones are Peyote Critical.

 

[dire wolf]

You havent seen any sssd females yet ?

Just for fun , make a few clones , its simple , you can use your tub or tuppperware , or just stick them into a anything , you can leave a few exposed , but i like to cover mine for a few days , you can use saran wrap or something to make a temporary humidity dome , burp it every day , or pop holes in it with a fork

You can make 4 or 6 cuts off your blue plant and 6 or a dozen off your un sexed remainig sssd , 2 are unidentified right ?

Do the clone tomorrow...

You will need something tk hold the rooters upright , you can even bury the rooter in some coco to hold it up , but that might be tricky
Normally the plugs go into a plastic black tray...
You can use an ice cube tray if you can hacksaw it into sections...

Well, if they don't have female pre-flowers then they are boys lol. You know pics 3 & 4 is a girl so now you know what to look for. 1st time is always nerve-wracking because you just don't know until you see it for yourself. Yay, you're flowering! Agree with DW, not too late to clone

I have a silicone ice tray that I fill for big cubes. I could use that, right? How do I clone, just cut with blade, dip in stuff, then put in tray?

Pretty sure I have two girls and two boys. I may be mistaken.

 

[KLight03]

I can also say with certainty, there is a huge difference from cannabis me and no cannabis me. The exhaustion is unbelievable. I appreciate y'all sticking it out with me.

I did a thread on cloning , but im going to bed now , if you want to wait till tomorrow , ill explain in detail
But bascially , cut shoot with scissor about 4 inches

Put cut in cup of water
Remove from water when ready
Lay on clean cutting board , make another cut off bottom with new razor blade..

Just to remove blunt scissor cut
Gently scrape 1/8 inch of skin on stalk to offer raw flesh , for better root development

Take your rapid rooter , stick a wire or coat hanger in it to plunge out center hole

Or poke a new hole in the rooter if the center hole is too big
Dip clone bottom in clonex

GENTLY find center hole or new hole you made , lubricate hole with a little clonex water mix to slide stem into plug
Be VERY gentle , not to crush stem

Set in your tray

Cover , move away from lights , but not dark for 12 to 24 hours

Then near light source , can be 4 ft or more away from lights , wait 8 to 14 days , roots will pop all over the place , transplant , into promix , i prefer because you dont need the coco watering scedeule for clones

Make sure to label your clones , dont mix the blue gelato with the sssd

Look at my gallery , you will see pics of this process

Yup, simple as that, obviously clean blades & hands etc with rubbing alcohol. Fill trays with medium, cut, dip, plop, water

 

[DreamsOfDiesel]

DW uses gentler methods but even without little extras, itll work, do extras tho because they do help. I used to do all that but got lazy & found out they still work they just have a little rougher time without extras

 

[DreamsOfDiesel]

I got lazy, I cut them & remove all growth except top node or 2 & cut off half of each remaining leaf & put them in water, then I just cut up center of stem to next node instead of scraping, dip it in clonex then gently place in hole made with pencil & push hole closed around baby. I only dome individual clones that are really droopy 24 hours after cut, doesnt happen often tho

 

[DreamsOfDiesel]

Keep close eye out for pm when using domes, I used let them out of dome few hours a day to reduce chances of pm. You may need to mist them a little with plain water sometimes but don't go overboard, keep medium damp but not wet until you see them perk up then start letting it dry out a little to make roots reach

I'm not even sure that I know what all that means. Hahaha!

I'll clarify anything you don't understand until I fall asleep if needed. I'll help you with DW way also. No big deal

I appreciate this. I know I should have gone to your thread, so thank you for the explanation. I will get to work a couple of hours after they wake up. Should I be taking clones from the bottom growth? I feel like that's what my instinct wants to do.

I appreciate you. I am heading to bed. Last night/this mornings air sirens/tornados are catching up with. I'm falling asleep at the keyboard like I'm an old woman or something. Haha!
