Actually, they are looking pretty sweet my friend. In my humble experience, they seem to bounce back even after wilting. I'm impressed you are using natural light, but seems like it would not be enough hours to induce vigorous root growth, but that's just my thoughts :)
I use a T-5 over my domes, 2-blue/2-green. Seems to work much better than the fluorescent “grow” lights I had before. Heating mats are a *must* I've had no luck whatsoever with the rock wool, got either too wet or too dry on me. Could never find that happy medium.
I switched to old school peat pots (pellets - add water and they expand) – these work like a charm for me, I swear by them and I now have a 98% success rate where before I was lucky to come out with a meager 25% success rate.
I soak the pellets until they are completely saturated; I then put (6 at a time) in a tea towel and swing it around 4 times to get out the excess water (do outside!!)- every time this leaves them in the perfect "moist" state for cloning. If you try and squeeze them to get the excess water out, I think it compacts too much; I never had success doing that.
I only use rootone powder on clones (use a good inch or two of it up the steam, can’t have too much!!), and spray both sides of the leaves with anti-wilt. Pre make the hole in whatever you are using as a cloning medium (rockwool/peat pots etc) and put your clone in ensuring not to rub off the powder as you do it.
I agree with jansjukebox, that you may have too many leaves on the clones, this tends to stress. I also cut all the leaves ½ way off, I see you trimmed the tops off, but I could take more off now.
I then spray the peat pellet until just the outside is wet morning and night, usually starting on day 2/3 as I find they are moist enough for the first couple of days and just need leave misting. My dome is completely closed (with a 5 minute open air break for the clones) for the first 4-5 days. I then half vent the dome for the next day or so, and then off with the dome. Misting every morning and night.
I usually have some solid roots starting to poke out around days 8-11, I’ve had some take up to 15 days to root!
Good luck mate, I will watch for your progress!!
Ciao-
well rancher, i'm glad to see your success with cloning! Way to go bro! As for the camp guys..just make sure you run to the letter of the law, keep your weed karma good, and send a pray up in smoke to Shiva and the rest is up to the universe. Peace bro and keep up the good work!oh and I find again that 24 hours of light is best for cloning. It might knock a few days off your clone time. Sweet!
I've tried powders they don't work you gotta go with Clonex next time Bro
I have a few more in the dome right now.
I used Rapid Rooters
soaked in Safer brand, Oxygen Plus liquid plant food
and used Dip-N-Grow rooting concentrate.
18/6 light from two T12s
pretty much the above watering and misting schedule.
Xrancher,
Hey, we were posting about DipNGrow at the same time!..It is my one non-organic tool.
The tiny amount that a clone is exposed to at the very beginning of its life does not seem to significant.
BTW I had the chance to try some Romulan from a long time Mendo Romulan grower recently and if yours is like his you are one lucky guy....
