botanics Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Tidy work with the cloning butt They can be taken at the beginning of flower, but Mark is right, best in veg like you have done as it keeps the strike rate up and they move a lot quicker than being taken after the switch, oh and they will root in plain old water too mate, most soft cuttings will, some change the water out daily for this, but you can keep the water for longer if a drop (not too much) of bleach is put in there, little bit of sugar too (old school way of gardening and can also use the same method for keeping cut flowers sweeter for longer) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they haven't taken root by around 10-14 days into flowering, you still have another opportunity to take more cuttings from any lower region trimmings Hope you're good bud, Danny 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know me....always good thanks.Yes that was my kind of thinking, only 2 days in so hopefully we will be fine. Like you say it no roots by 10 days, I will take some more. But I am saying my prayers for this bunch, just looking for 4 to root so fingers ccrossed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they haven't taken root by around 10-14 days into flowering, you still have another opportunity to take more cuttings from any lower region trimmings Hope you're good bud, Danny This is a very good point and as said usually 10 days to root but I would allow 14 just to be sure. If they still look limp after 10 days then take more. I would say around day 5 they start to look better then day 7-10 roots All the best D-M. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Hopefully some nice roots to place in to squares. With reference to the cuts, I have been misting daily and removing excess water when needed. I am trying to keep the jiffi pellets wet. How do I describe things for the young ones?........#buzzin. Welcome to day 6 in the flowering cycle. Well it had been 2 days since the girls have been fed,so tonight was their lucky night. The soil was dry to the finger test earlier,so this chap knew that dem bitches be grateful man. The servings have not changed as we are still in week one of flowering, they were as follows: 2.5ml/l OT bloom. 5ml/l root stimulator. 1ml/l catalyst. 0.5ml/l bio silicon. They took 3 litres each with a 5% run off maximum, which I was happy with. This was given as follows: 1000ml/45 min rest/500ml/rest/500ml/rest/500ml/rest/500ml/rest. After this had been done,back on to the dry tray in the tent they went. I also changed their position in the tent,first out.... First in. Remered to take the measurements of the girls,the "mother" is @ 17", and her sister is @ 14. Edited February 22, 2016 by sy100276 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highburyway Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Plants are looking good sy. I'm no expert at cuts but I get best results from just leaving them to do there thing. Once I put them in the prop I don't touch them for 10 days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samhigh Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I always get my clones in veg, but there is a method of taking clones up to 21 days flower ive done it to save a strain I didn't clone you can search monster cropping very interesting read. clones from veg have less stress than clones from flower and just like us the less stress the better. grow is looking great brother. sam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenchie Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 @@sy100276 No need to spay your cuttings mate,just keep their medium moist and leave them be,after a week open up the props vents,main thing is leave them be. Also I see you went straight onto the bloom nutrients,dont you use grow nutes for the first 2-3 weeks of flower then? It gives them a nice storage of nitrogen.
