First time cloning tonight. Using root riot plugs and Clonex gel. Propagating in the AC Infinity full dome kit (light, heating pad, dome). Felt pretty good about it and was checking on something else in the room when I noticed this girl falling over. Read it could just be light, but she happens to be the one I pulled back out to reapply cloning gel to because I noticed she was the only one that didn’t show excess on top and I had an issue with the test tube on the first application where it pulled most off at the end. So also worried it could be something worse like a little embolism starting. I think I’ve read you can trim the stem for this, but didn’t want to jump to drastic if it’s normal early clone behavior. Supported her with a little wire just to keep her off the dome wall and then turned the light down from 20% to 10%. They are 2 28 watt LEDs. Trying to keep temp 75-80 and humidity around 90.
Also, here’s a link to the journal. Oh and she was nearly sideways before I supported her with wire.
When I clone I remove all but one leaf. That will limit the surface area to kèep it from drying out. I was looking through my pics cant find one.
I just make sure that the cuts have 4 leaf sets. I don’t cut the leaves because that will expedite drying out of the clone. Also I keep it humid 75% with a humidifier inside my clone area.
Use a rooting gel like Clonex and a bit of Kelp extract.
Also I use a bubbler
I have it pumped up to 95% right now in the clone dome at around 78 F. A few others wilted a little too but thinking it’s just shock after researching more. Not going to worry too much unless they don’t straighten up in about a week.
Are you spraying your clones?
I make sure to spray them and the dome a couple times a day
Your vents look open, I would close those until you see roots
Thanks! I was venting them and then closed them. I was targeting 80% and bumped up to make it rain. I’ve been misting the walls a couple times a day and then hitting each with a quick spray. Should I bump that up?
I don’t keep a meter on my clones, like ya said make it ran
No roots so all moisture up-take is through the leafs at this point
