So my friend contaminated his last round of cuttings, by dipping directly into the container of root tech. mold spread around and he lost all 24 of his cuttings. he lost a couple the last round, so I assume he contaminated the gel, by dipping directly into it, therfore left the bacteria in the container to fester for a few months. then he dipped in the container again and lost all his cuts this time.
He picked up some dip n grow. I used it for years, so I said get it. it's cheap and works. i used it in a cloner (areoponic) with 100% success. He uses starter rockwool cubes, in a dome.
So this is where the nervousness kicks in. it's been about 6 days. tomorrow night will be 7 days. It should take 7-10 days to see roots pop thru a rockwool starter cube, right?
The situation:
They were cut on a 45 deg angle, dipped for about 15-20 secs and placed into a pre-soaked cube (shaken after soak to release excess water prior to placing a cutting into it).
placed into a dome, with a fluoro over top. sprayed with tap water twice a day (morning and night).
Here are a few pics. There is NO yellowing. just a reaction to the fluoro and my camera phone. they look healthy, but my patient friend has anxiety issues, and will prob start to freak out tomorrow night. I know he will, and he'll blame me for the failure. As he already stated that the only reason why I used dip n grow was b/c you said it works. as we all know it does. and works well.
please reply with your input. especially if you think it's all good.
I appreciate it. I will feel bad, if they dont root. that would mean he lost 48 cuts, and his moms are ravaged. So he'll have to buy cuts, or will guilt me into doing it.
the strain is jack herrer.
I appreciate your reply, my fellow farmers.
