clones taken to late ??

[Simoski]

took these clones well in to bud. 1 of them is growing well. they are a bout 3an half weeks old(all have good roots) except 2 of them dont seem to be growing on the top side of plants no new shoots or leaves where as the base of stems are quite swolen an growing well they have all had roots for nearly 2 weeks ...any help be great they seem healthy

[WantDaChronic]

that does look a bit weird

 

clones can be taken at anytime during a plants life but the later in flowering u leave it, the more chance they have of dying off, etc...

 

i read in a ed rosenthal book that if u intend on taking cutting during flowering that u should take twice as many cuttings as u need just to make sure u get decent ones :thumbdown would mess with the harvest doing that i think but if u want/must continue that strains life i would do it :thumbsup

 

u said the plants were like 3 and a half weeks old...is that how long since u took the cuttings or since they rooted and were placed in the system?

[Simoski]

yer they bout 3 an half weeks old(since cuttin) been in grow (out of clone box)for 1 week and they have had roots for bout 2 weeks now

Hey bro,

 

 

The cutts will kick but will take about three times as long to start growing because they were taken well into flore.

thanks jack

 

i was thinking that might be the case they are slowly getting bigger aswell so ill just wait then ...cheers

 

trying to get a mother going to avoid this in the future

hey simo,

 

The later you take it the harder the clone and more time it takes to root.

That's been the most trouble i've had.. just getting the little bastards to grow a nice root system.

Best to chose a plant, pre-flower it and then clone of that if you have no mother.

 

There are plenty of methods of preflowers branches ect.. to determine sex out there on the net.

 

the mother sounds like a better idea.

 

Good luck..

Yeah, and when they do start to grow they will probably start with single bladed leaves.

 

[Simoski]

[Simoski]
