Thread starter laceygirl Start date May 1, It doesn't matter if I use a humidity crib or an aerocloner, my clones always look like crap whilst trying to grow roots, the bottom leaves always turn yellow, and they look basically like crap When I use the aerocloner I only use pH'd water and clonex solution, and when I use a humidity crib I only use pH'd water a little bit of rhizotonic or superthrive, they grow roots but they just look horrible..

What am i doing wrong???? Other clones look vigorous and vibrant, mine come good but it really slows me down The temp in the aerocloner is 24 degrees celcius, its totally dark and the temps under the lights are around 26 degrees celcius They are under a watt day propagation flouro.. Bout 3 inches from the plants Thank you for that,. I checked out your journal, Lacie - nice grow! I place a simple tray dome over the top of the cloner, and let enough air up from below to carry enough humidity to steam the dome walls it will make droplets eventually, but I don't want too much moisture.

Oh, also be sure you're not cutting too big of a clone - the size probably factors in. Hopefully, someone truly knowledgeable will come along soon Thank you everyone for your input, I am going to give the temp thing ago I've also turned off the little exhaust fan in my aero cloner, only really need that in summer time.. First, make sure whatever medium you are using rockwool or soil has been soaked with water balanced at 6.

This will keep the roots from drying out. When using rockwool, make sure you do not crush or pinch any roots when transplanting.

Once you have carefully inserted the plant into rockwool you now need to put this into a grow pot or bucket. The video below shows you step-by-step the proper way to transfer clones.

Using a metal halide light will give the plants the spectrum they need to grow healthy. Vegetative growth is maintained under 18 or more hours of light per day. I personally choose 24 hours of light to promote faster growth, as I need hundreds of plants weekly to maintain my warehouse grow operation.

The best way to promote healthy, vigorous growth is to use a w halide to grow for the 1st week, w halide for the 2nd week and a w halide for the remainder of time you choose to keep the plants growing prior to flowering. This method helps promote even growth without shocking the plant. See pics below showing you the 3 different metal halides for vegetative growth.

Popular Posts. Vegetative Growth Stage. Thanks mega millions??! Thanks heaps again. Do you actually clip the leaves of the cutting at the time of putting it in root gel then medium? Very informative thank you……. I learned from my dad. Hi Brian, thanks for the heads up. We still keep track of comments regularly so I will have our team elaborate on the loose end. Thanks again! I also posted a question asking for clarification. Hi Neil, he mentioned in the article that over time each generation is more susceptible to disease.

Other authors also mention genetic defects leaves curling sideways, triplet nodes, etc increase in likelihood with each cloned generation. Can you please elaborate? I cloned about Why would you give a clone flowering fertilizer?

Cloning actually can help increase potency because the plant adapts to your method of growing and potentially has less stress. Rena, I am not sure what you mean by wrap. I went through the article and could not find mention of wrapping anything. We can reach you a lot better in the support forum of ILGM.

Burley, It is hard for us to say where you sliced the cuttings. Best to join our support forum, and we can show you how to clone successfully. Bill, join us here: support. Old seeds that are dormant can take a lot longer to germinate. Thank you. Did I cut them too high on the mother plant? I had seeds germinated after over a week. Just give them time. How do germinate old seeds i have tried soaking them in water with hydrogen peroxide for 24 hours and suger water for 48 hours then in the paper towel thing and still nothing.

Tired of wasting some good seeds can you help me. This is some incredible information. I will be ordering seeds in a few days so I plan to go all out and take this process as far as I can. I suggest you download and read our free grow bible. Unless you are breeding you do not want to pollinate and produce seeds. Seeded plants are low in THC due to spending all the energy producing seeds.

We clone because genetically we have a plant that once rooted is the same age as the Mother plant, and can be vegetated in weeks and flowered cutting off one month of grow time; Approximately. We also can expect all clones to be the same size as the next one taken form the same Mother. Evidently you did something wrong. Try one of the proven methods described here and if you continue to fail, come see us at support.

Evidently something was wrong or you would have succeeded. Keep trying. Perhaps do as desecribed in one of the fool proof methods above. Join us at: [email protected] if you have any more issues. We have a friendly staff and sharing members, always willing to help. The longer you veg the larger yield you will have. I am very naive about this. Why clone if your plant produces seeds? Or are they programmed to not produce seeds? I tried to clone with making a easy clone.

Done everything I was supposed to none lived. Its strong , but it works! Good luck. Go to Home Hardware of Canadian Tire.. Nice article that explains all types with easy way to understand each step. But I saw one small mistake when you guys talk about cloning in water.

You describe that we would have to use water with EC 5. So could you check that for us?! Thank you guys for sharing one more great article and congrats for all team. This is my first time cloning but my friend. Plastic around what?

If so, yes you remove the wrapper when you transplant. You did not say to cut the plastic off from around it. I would assume I would need to do that when transplanting, right? Moving clones is simple. They should be moist, and not stored or transported in any normal temperature range. Not too cold, and not too hot. Wondering about transporting clones? Can you move them from one location to another with a stabilized temperature inside the transport van be ok?

I will gibe you something. Plants will not bloom outdoors until the days are short enough to cause flowers to show. Plants from seed do not always take on the same characteristics. Being that almost all strains are hybrids; You can see different results from plant to plant. Size of the clones does not really matter, as long as you have a couple nodes below top in order to promote root growth. My white widow seeds I ordered are growing.. One plant is about a foot tall and the other is almost double in size..

I moved the plants in position over time trying to compensate for a lighting imbalance.. IN general it is beyond time to take and root clones from this plant. We recommend taking cuttings no later than week 2 of flower. If they do and it wil;l take longer than timely cut clones; You can take cuttings from them eventually. The current flowers will die during this process and the plant will appear almost dead. I was given a seedling seam to be a female stuck it in the veg.

I strongly recommend you download and read our free grow bible. Better yet; Join our Support forum and receive help from our many knowledgeable members and expert staff. Very informative i am a newbie to farming with no experience at all really teeing my best but severely sucking. Thank you Robert, I like this cloning tutorial! You are definitely going to be getting my business in the future.

Ps your white widow is outstanding, we love it. Peace out. Thanks for all the information on cloning. Super helpful sense I have been doing it wrong for 3 years and wondering why my clones success rate was so low.

I successfully clone my roses using honey as a cloning assistant.. All auto flower plants flower right away. We do not clone auto flowers. If you want to start a clone program; I recommend getting feminized seeds and sexing a Mom in order to start a clone program. What about cloning auto flowering feminized plants at the 3 month period?

Will clones have same plant maturity as mother plant and start flowering right away? Growing 4 such at present and want to map out a plan. Good site ;thanks Norm. It takes approximately 2 months for a MMJ plant to mature.

The clones take on the age of the Mother plant, and thus, if you cloned to early, your yield could suffer for it. The cloning article suggests that the clones should be remove from a plant that is at least two months old. Please explain why. I advise you to join out Support Forum. I live in Cali desert , would this be the time to start clones outside. Its to hot in summer to grow here. All you can do is keep them in vegetative photo period all winter. Perhaps clone these when they get too big.

How large are your clones? In addition, some dyes and the ultraviolet light used to remove the egg's nucleus can damage the primate cell and prevent it from growing.

Clones do not always look identical. Although clones share the same genetic material, the environment also plays a big role in how an organism turns out. For example, the first cat to be cloned, named Cc, is a female calico cat that looks very different from her mother. The explanation for the difference is that the color and pattern of the coats of cats cannot be attributed exclusively to genes. A biological phenomenon involving inactivation of the X chromosome See sex chromosome in every cell of the female cat which has two X chromosomes determines which coat color genes are switched off and which are switched on.

The distribution of X inactivation, which seems to occur randomly, determines the appearance of the cat's coat. Reproductive cloning may enable researchers to make copies of animals with the potential benefits for the fields of medicine and agriculture. For instance, the same Scottish researchers who cloned Dolly have cloned other sheep that have been genetically modified to produce milk that contains a human protein essential for blood clotting.

The hope is that someday this protein can be purified from the milk and given to humans whose blood does not clot properly. Another possible use of cloned animals is for testing new drugs and treatment strategies. The great advantage of using cloned animals for drug testing is that they are all genetically identical, which means their responses to the drugs should be uniform rather than variable as seen in animals with different genetic make-ups.

After consulting with many independent scientists and experts in cloning, the U. Food and Drug Administration FDA decided in January that meat and milk from cloned animals, such as cattle, pigs and goats, are as safe as those from non-cloned animals. The FDA action means that researchers are now free to using cloning methods to make copies of animals with desirable agricultural traits, such as high milk production or lean meat.

However, because cloning is still very expensive, it will likely take many years until food products from cloned animals actually appear in supermarkets.

Another application is to create clones to build populations of endangered, or possibly even extinct, species of animals. In , researchers produced the first clone of an endangered species: a type of Asian ox known as a guar.

Sadly, the baby guar, which had developed inside a surrogate cow mother, died just a few days after its birth. In , another endangered type of ox, called the Banteg, was successfully cloned.

Soon after, three African wildcats were cloned using frozen embryos as a source of DNA. Although some experts think cloning can save many species that would otherwise disappear, others argue that cloning produces a population of genetically identical individuals that lack the genetic variability necessary for species survival.

Some people also have expressed interest in having their deceased pets cloned in the hope of getting a similar animal to replace the dead one.

But as shown by Cc the cloned cat, a clone may not turn out exactly like the original pet whose DNA was used to make the clone. Reproductive cloning is a very inefficient technique and most cloned animal embryos cannot develop into healthy individuals. For instance, Dolly was the only clone to be born live out of a total of cloned embryos. This very low efficiency, combined with safety concerns, presents a serious obstacle to the application of reproductive cloning.

Researchers have observed some adverse health effects in sheep and other mammals that have been cloned. These include an increase in birth size and a variety of defects in vital organs, such as the liver, brain and heart. Other consequences include premature aging and problems with the immune system.
