Take cuts - 45 degree angle right below a node (it will work any place, but seems better here)Ģ. This will help keep humidity and temps more consistent.ġ. You can try running your cloner in an enclosed area like I've shown in my pics. Humidity - Hopefully you can get your humidity up into the 50's - This seems the best place with this technique. (18/6) (24 hours seems to take longer and I believe the dark period helps the cutting generate roots much easier)Ħ. Set our lighting schedule to 18 hours on and 6 off. pH to 5.8-6.0 - It will probably drift up a little, but I just let it because we will have clones in about 7-10 days.ĥ. I add about 600ppm of FloraDuo (which is basically their "seedling" feeding dosage) and about 5 or 6 drops of Rapid Start to my water. Fill with RO water to desired level - In my case its exactly a gallon.Ĥ. (Turn off the heating pad once clones are rooted.)ģ. Place heating mat with temp controller (you MUST have a temp controller for it) in your desired location and place your cloner on top of it - Set the temp to 73 on the controller and leave it alone. Then I clean again with 99% iso alcohol - The airstone(plastic parts) - the lid - the res - the tubing - the inserts - All of it.Ģ. First I clean every part the cloner in the sink with regular dish soap and rinse well. It may be helpful to you or someone else in the future.ġ. Here's a detailed breakdown of what to do. My chlorine+fluoride filtered tap water here comes out to about 0.7 EC I believe. I think when I used tap water with this same recipe the EC came out to 0.968 or something. I took notes during the second week of these cuts For them being in there so long I'm not sure if they needed the nutes or not. The first time I ran it I did not use any bloom nutes and the cuttings looking like they were going to die, they completely yellowed out and had crispy leaves. This is pretty much a brand new build, I've only used it for 7 weeks so far, and I ran bleach water through it after I failed the first attempt after 3 weeks of no rooting. I pH my water to 6.0 as close as I can after I've mixed everything. I've had those plants for roughly 3 months and its about time for them to be chopped down again. The cuts in the box currently are cuts from clones from clones from seed, not sure how old but the mothers that my mothers were cut from were over 8 months old when cut. I spoke with my friend and he says it takes him 2-3 weeks to make roots on these strains with hormex and clonex in rapid rooters. I have had terrible luck with getting roots to happen in any method of cloning. Should I be using airstones to oxygenate my water? I do have two 4" round airstones and a 45L/minute air pump. Ambient temps dip down to about 63-65*F at night. I measured the temp with my infrared thermometer and it seems like it is 4*F higher than ambient temps, highest I've seen is 84*F for an hour or two. Temps of the water I have not been measuring, but it doesn't feel cold or warm. I sterilize between each run with bleach water and ran it through 20 minutes on each side of the sprayer and rinsed it out well. I do not have a light "directly" above the clones, I have a 4' 8 bulb T5 that I have 4' above it and over about 1-2', this is the light I'm using for my mother plants. I keep the Eco370 Adjustable Water Pump running 24/7.ġ0 gal - RO water (replace water every 7 days)ĥ ml - Flying Skull part 1 Z7 enzyme (every 3-4 days)ĥ ml - Flying Skull part 2 Z7 enzyme (every 3-4 days) I'm still new to this but I followed this dude's guide to build one
