My Stems on my clones have split, is it too late for them?

[ganga gal]

 

Could any one give me a bit of advise, took a few clones did everything according to the instructions. they looked ok for a few days and now i have noticed that some of the stems on a couple have split. is it too late for these ones. kinda think that i could have been a bit happy with the misting!!!??? but i have tried to dry the rockwool out dont know what else to do ??????????

First rule is dont mess with the plants.

 

It takes about 5-10 days for them to start rooting and you shouldnt mist clones (misting is for exposed plants only - you do it to stop them drying out in the sun not to keep them moist). Pre-soak your cubes/soil, cut through a node at a angle, dip it into clonex then plant it and firm the medium around the stem and only water it again when its almost dry.

what? like the main stem has split in two? That's weird...

 

Depending on how big the splits are then they might make it but prolly not.

 

I'd take some new ones myself.

sometimes if ya accedently dip the cut too deep or leave some gel exposed it can have that effect ..... generally it the base swells b4 the crack it just means its rooted .......

 

but like Jimbo said....probly best to take another batch

yeah they should heal emself pretty well.....the first sign of roots out the bottom will mean ready to pot up........and if ya got enough....chuck a few of the cracked ones in a little deeper..so the crack is covered in medium.....who know`s, it might chuck out a shitload of roots.

 

 

 

keep at it
