are my clones gonna survive?

[HippyStoner]

this is my first attempt at cloning...

 

I took the clones last Sunday so they are at day 8

 

they have no roots

 

heres some stats we kept a record of over the last week

 

12/08/07 clones taken

 

13/08/07 5:30pm: temp 27C and RH 89%

7:30pm: temp 30C and RH 79%Rh

 

14/08/07 6:30am: temp 26C and 72%RH

6:15pm: temp 31C and 68%RH

 

15/08/07 6:30am: temp 29C and 80%RH

6:00pm temp 33C and 65%RH (carbon pads removed from the 2 computer fans to help reduce heat via increased air flow)

 

 

16/08/07 4:30am: temp 22C and "hi" RH..more than hygrometer can handle...

 

17/08/07 6:25pm: temp 31C and 61%RH

 

18/08/07 1:00pm: 30C and 69%RH

 

19/08/07(today) 7:45am 29C and 47%RH

 

 

using 38watts fluro in a 4 cubic feet grow box...with 2 computer fans

 

 

below are two pics taken 30mins ago

 

 

 

 

Any help/comments/input would be appreciated as if these clones die it will set my grow plans back by weeks.

 

I have not enjoyed watching my clones getting worse and worse looking each day..hopefully they will show roots soon and come back to life

Hippy stoner please get your sorry ass down to Tom's Cloning Thread here : https://cannabis.community.forums.ozstoners...showtopic=10243

 

and start over

 

[WantDaChronic]

those clones died from a lack of humidity, heat and being misted by the looks of things and imo there is no chance in hell for a recovery keep the temperature around 28-30 degrees, keep the humidity as high as you can and mist the cuttings atleast twice a day...do that and you should easily get an 80% strike rate

[loylty gets u nothing]

honestly

it be easier and quicker to throw and start a new batch

maybe get some jiffy 7s as well

this will give u some variety and another chance at finding wats right for ya area

wen clones are rootless the need really bugger all light

well they need light but just soft light

id even put a wet blue chucks cleaner cloth over the dome

this will again filter the strength of the light

and being wet will add to humidity of cabnet

toms tecnique is great go have a look see

all the best

bil

[torture]

by the look of them i would be suprised if the dome was on at all

[sunnycoaststoner]

turn the fans off dude, put the lid on the dome, keep the humidity up like the others said by misting occasionally or the damp cloth over the dome dude, around 27 degree's is great temp. but make sure not to turn the fans on mate.......

Yeah time to start again, try using the Growdan brand cubes as well and soak them in PH corrected water for a few hours before use.

 

[HippyStoner]

thanks for all the advice everyone

 

frazzle--i will get my sorry sad ass to that thread and re-read it..hehe..properly dis time

 

 

wantdachronic--i will mist twice a day on my next go at cloning(if at first u dont suceed..etc..)

 

 

billopuffalot--i will use that blue chuck idea...and i just thought of removing one of the two 18watt fluros to help reduce light as well.

 

 

torture--the photos were taken with the dome off..the rest of the time it was on.

 

 

sunnycoaststoner--if i keep the fans off i might get excessive temps..although..if i remove one fluro tube and use the blue chuck idea it may work...hmm..ponders deeply..

 

tom--i used growool an aussie rockwool brand..and i did NOT soak in Ph adjusted water

 

 

 

alrighty then..i will start some new clones soon...

[Tom]

and i did NOT soak in Ph adjusted water

The soaking is a very important step, the cubes you have used are actually designed to be used in little square pots or a type of tray that can be used in your humidity tray, the plastic around the Growdan cubes eliminates the need for the pot and the risk of root damage when removing the rooted clone from the pot plus you can check for roots much easier.

 

There are also some new cubes out made from Fytocell but I haven't tried them out yet.

Yeah...better luck next time HS.

 

Does anyone know if Growth Technologies Root Riot Cubes are available in Australia?
