Cloning Question

[Hotrod13]

Hi all I have read near everything on these forums about cloning and it seems reasonabily easy I have a nice female I wish to clone, but it will be a outdoor clone, I intend in building a small greenhouse to do it in, but it will be comming into the winter months.

Will the length of day affect the clones? and make them want to start budding?

Can I just cut them dip in cutting powder and place in nice dirt then water normally? most cloning seems to be done indoors.

Thanks in advance for any help

Yes your clones will start to bud. If you can put a light down there to extend the hours you should be o.k

Clones only require and rather prefer less intense light as well. So using fluros is pretty spot on.

 

You can clone in a greenhouse quite easily (most plants are cloned in greenhouses at nursery's) but you will have to watch the hrs of light and perhaps add to them artificially.

I must say personally I haven't had much luck with the powder, I ve found the liquid Clonex strikes everytime.

I use the purple hardwood Clonex. I do put mine inside under a 24hr fluro in an esky, when I have roots at the bottom of the cube, rockwool cube, I decide where they will be grown indoors or outdoors. I like to occasionally grow the same clones indoor and out door if the timings are right.

Just because its an outdoor mother plant does not mean you can't transfer it indoors and vice versa. I have previously moved house and put the plant from inside outside and then when the room was rebuilt transferred it back inside again. Many of the extra indoor clones I take end, up outside.

Placing clones outdoor late in the grow season will mean minimal growth before starting to head. The only way to avoid this is to give artificial light, as suggested.

sorry let me clarify that for you

 

it doesn't matter how much water you put in the container the more the better as it means you will have to fill it up less times as the verm wicks the water up.

 

but id go with half way
