My 1st clones. How are they looking?

BM87 · Mar 17, 2017

Hi guys. I've just taken my first ever cuttings about a week and a half ago. I took 5 originally but 2 wilted within a couple days. The remaining are still upright but I haven't noticed any extra growth at all. Am I being too impatient expecting new growth after just over a week? Also, 1 of them is looking pretty sad for itself. I've added a couple pics. Any opinion or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

How are the temps and RH

Soil looks dry and doesn't look like they are under a dome.

Temps and humidity are probably the biggest factors when it comes to successful cloning.

In the proper environment takes 10-14 days on average to see roots.

Good luck

Hi steadyeddie. Thanks for the reply. They were watered last night and I'll be watering them later on again tonight. Didn't want to over so it. Humidity is between 60 and 70% and temp around 24 degrees. Need to invest in a dome for the next lot. Would they be dead by now if they hadn't started rooting? Trying to decide whether I need to germ some back up seeds I have so as not to delay my cycle too much.

Clones don't need to be watered when you cut them, how are they going to drink with no roots?

You could mist the plants to give them what they need

In the domes people aim for close to 100% humidity. You want temps in 73-78•F for roots to grow comfortably.

The way you have them now it could take 20+ days For any roots show. If they make it.

Thanks for the reply. I've only been watering them for the last 3 days as I thought there may be some early rooting after a week or so. I've been spraying the leaves regularly up until then. So you think they may possibly take another 3 weeks?

Edit: Gonna run to the nearest shop to pick up a dome right now.
