Another clone question...

[yota]

So my clones perked up and im off and running. I have been misting them for 3 days and keeping the humidity dome on. So my question is, when do i remove the dome, and when do i stop misting?

 

Thanks again for all the help

If you have the dome on you shouldn't have to mist but once in awhile. Are the clones on a heat mat?

[yota]

no heatmat needed, temps are good already. But when do i take dome off? After roots show?

[loylty gets u nothing]

start by opening 1 of the side vents

then open the other the next day

then the top vent

each day i shake fresh air threw the base and me clones

then take the lid off

watching to see if any wilt

if they wilt they arent ready

throw lid on and repeat process in a day or 2

i like to mist 1 time daily

right up to planting out after hardening off

all the best

days dont mean alot. it differs depending on strain , conditions, and the clone itself.

 

leave them in there untill they have sufficent roots then take them out and repot.

does matter that they start growing.. is all.

 

Don't go disturbing roots to see if they are there..

 

watch the tips .. did they grow?

 

and what's this dome thing? Yes sure it helps but weed loves to be out in the air and sun.. the only thing needed to keep them alive is water.

If you stick them in out in the sun.. they will likely die immediately unless they are under constant mist but if they survive..one day.. you are away.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/jonosterman/DSC00684smcuttings.jpg

The sun is easily filtered by tree leaves to assist in both shading from intense light and conserving moisture while still allowing the free breeze(nil dollars.. all materials recycled)

If you pot them up when they start to grow.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/jonosterman/DSC00686cuttings.jpg

They will show you the light.

DAMN Gouger! Doin it the old fashioned way, and doin it right!

 

I am proud to be drinkin my tea out of the very same glass mug atm. Since they took my aerocloner in the raid, I'll be going back to that method, but I do use the dome in the early days and I sit them on a heat mat unless they're outdoors in summer. I've found that a seedling mat helps the roots to strike faster and stronger, but you do have to keep an eye on the moisture.

 

Amazing stuff and great pix!

[loylty gets u nothing]

heres some i took the other nite

the green vent wont be opened till at least the 12th of march

and then i still fan fresh air amongst dialy

i only use a heat mat in winter

all the best

thanks guys, mine look a lot like yours Bill. They look moist and green, healthy after the initial wilting.
