is it posible to take a cutting from a plant 1 week in to flower
will the cutting go back to veg if it is in 24/7 light
i ask because of sea of green you need many cuttings

I also have a plant 1 week in flower just showed first pistil......... I would love to take a few cuttings without the whole plant going into veg again....

I made my own cloner based on one in the DIY section. I had very little success with it until I installed an Ice Probe to get the temp down. Now I'm at 100%. I also started using Roots Excelurator in it.

Yes u can tke clones up to 2 weeks in flower although the less time the better.. It takes time to revert back to veg mode.

would this f**k the plant up putting in back it to flower right away
when doing sog the not really do veg stage they go right it to flower from the clone box

so if i take a cutting from 1week in to flower
then put the clone in the clone box(light24/7)
when its roots have fully astablished, is it fine to put it back into flower with out messing up the plant, resulting in bad yeild????or would this not afect the yeild??

all that stuff really isnʻt necessary. Although it does work. But make sure youʻre cutting your cuttings at an angle to get more surface area for roots to grow. dip the in rooting powder and stick them in a jiffy7 puck. keep em in light and watch the humidity you should get a 100% rooting rate if you donʻt then you did something wrong with the ones that died.

From what I've (heard) a high success method is using rockwool cubes with a clear lid on a black tray for a few days. Regular 4' shop lights right off the top of the lid to keep heat up near 95f with high humidity (cant absorb water with no roots). Once the cuttings look less hurricane strewn you can remove the top and encourage root growth. Spraying before the lid comes off is a must but dont over do it because if water puddles in the tray you got problems. When the lid is removed spraying will only slow down root growth. let the cubes get a little dry but not all the way (very bad). They will grow roots to find water. Too much water and they are lazy (no roots). CloneX is awesome but make sure to use only a little because it eats too much of the stem away if you goop it on the whole thing. only on the main cut to seal in the pores. Again from what I've (heard) it has a near 98% success rate with little cost and turn around time is 7-10 days depending on size of cutting.

I use a Botanicare cloner and get roots in 5 to 10 days. RO water and Clonex in the res. No dome, no misting. I strip the bottom node to expose the cambium and run the machine non-stop. I keep it in my veg room about ten feet away from a 600 watter. 100% success always.

I have their daisy clone 8 site. What temp is your water? I think I may need a cooler or something. The room gets pretty hot. Thx

I am running that in a pretty cool room. 62ish. Still, the pump warms the water noticeably. The Daisy is smaller than the 25 site one I have; I don't know if the pumps are the same, but less water, same pump= higher water temp. Cool is good. If you have an unheated space to run it in that'll help. Sorry, I never checked the temp of the water (although it's right there on my pH meter (5.5). I just figured since my space is so cool this time of year it wasn't important. I haven't run the cloner in hot weather though.

Thanks. I've had success in winter with it, but tons of problems in summer, so I assume
it's the heat. I'm in the process of making a bigger one. Maybe I'll get that ice probe chiller.

It would be a slow grower do the the fact that you are stressing the plant in a short time frame.

If you took a rooted clone and put in a flower stage for a week, it would have just started to adjust to the 12/12 and the internal time clock is chemically changing.
Then you took it back out and put it a 24/7 light after the plant has just adjusted puts stress on the plant, and then a week later you put it back into flower 12/12.

You my get a hermi.

I built myself a aerocloner, with the spray nozzles and have had 100 % success ever since. Just gotta find the thread and follow the instructions. No cloning gel or any other magic bullets. Just plain water (ph to 5.8 and within 2 weeks evrybodies happy. Then light feeding (700-800 ppm @ 0.7) under 4x48" 6500K for a few weeks then into flower with the HPS. Works beautifully.

any one use superthrive with ther cuttings?

i had problems cloning. Tried everything until I bought a areocloner(knockoff) on ebay. Filled it up with regular tap with 1/4tsp of superthrive and left runing 24/7 with 2ft t8 shop light and been getting roots in about 5-7 days. Note: I fed the mother water for 3-4 days first cuz they root faster without nutrients in the mother. Also I take cuttings in the middle of the two nodes and leave 2 nodes under the water and 1 or 2 above. and cut the leaves in half to lower transpiration. Cutting the leaves also help to fit more in the cloner. BTW this was info I read in the Gorge Cerventes grow bible so i figured itd help

come on guys dont stop this thread

many ppl have lots of problems out there with cloning. heat problems etc

let us know all your tips lets get your info out there

Aeroponics solved my problems. Now I get roots in 5-7 days every time. Only difficulty is keeping the res at a decent temp. It tends to get too hot (85). I think I'm going to try a larger res.
