About 5 weeks in now. Started giving them some budsel (guano/worm castings in liquid form). I've only been giving them liquid koolbloom about once per week. I plan to flush soon and then give a strong feeding with about 4 ml per gallon of koolbloom. Today:

Really? 10 days is too long? And I don't use cinnamon regularly, this was just a test. I'll check them later today.

The clones dipped in clonex were taken two days after the clones dipped in cinnamon. They all came from the same plant. No roots yet. When they start popping out I'll update this thread.

Quick picture update... The ones closest to the camera in this shot are about a week behind the rest, hence the buds are not as filled out Yesterday, I noticed a P deficiency starting to show so I adjusted the lucas formula slightly to up the P. Other than that, things are going good.

So, it's been 7 days and no visible roots coming out of the bottom of the tray. As you can see, they are still green and bound to start showing roots any day now. They are along side some friends that were dipped in clonex gel.

I haven't checked today, but as of yesterday no visible roots yet. However, they are perfectly green and standing straight up with the leaves reaching up towards the light. I will check and update tomorrow.

Hey RIU, it's been a few days. I fucked up my pH meter again, luckily customer service at HM is badass so I got another replacement free of charge! The chems are coming along nicely, here they are right at about week 4. I'm hitting them pretty hard with liquid koolbloom, more so than most...

Well, it's been one day and they're looking perfect and standing straight up. I will keep this updated.

It's real cinnamon.

So, there was an article posted which said cinnamon could be used in place of rooting powder/gel. I have never heard this before, but figured it couldn't hurt to try it out. For anyone who is interested, I started an experiment to validate/debunk this theory. It is located here...

Ok, cinnamon experiment in progress... I took cuts from my Chemdawg D mother, which is a very hardy and vigorous plant and usually roots very fast. I'm a clean freak when it comes to this stuff. Sterilized my scissors and pre-soaked my 2" rockwool cubes in pH'd water. Took my cuts from...

I know you're not trying to be rude, no worries. I just always like trying new things and experimenting. If cinnamon doesn't work (I don't have high hopes), it's not a big deal at all to me. I have plenty of big, lush mothers that I can always take more cuts from. It's always fun to...

Your plants look awesome by the way. Very nice job!

Yes, that is definitely a hermie, commonly referred to as "bananas." Sometimes caused by light leaks during darkness and a variety of other factors, but it could just be genetic (you probably know all this stuff). How far along is the plant it popped out of? Sometimes they will pop out of a...

Umm, I don't have fungus. I take clones all the time with great success. The dude posted a link which said cinnamon can be used a rooting agent so I said I'd give it a shot, as an experiment. Thanks anyway?
