I am new to this site, so excuse any mistakes. I read "how to ask for help" thread, and it was suggested that I format my questions ... so I will use the suggested format. But, first the problem.
I have been helping a neighbor of mine by donating meds to him. We have found that one of the strains that really helps him the most to be Harlequin with its high CBD content. I have been growing some 1 to 1 cbd/thc ratio stuff for him.
I would like to make it more available to more people, and would like to clone a few hundred to donate to my local collective, but I am having a HELL of a time getting it to clone. I put up a tray of 50 and am lucky to get five to grow roots. I am doing nothing different from the other strains I clone: Blue Dream, AK47, Blueberry Kush. Those strains sprout roots in ten to fifteen days and just take off. 98% sprout. The Harlequin, maybe 5% sprout roots. Out of the fifty I started I have five with the plan to make them mothers - they are about a foot tall now. I will try to clone from them when they're old enough - maybe a different plant will like being a mother better.
I don't do anything different to the Harlequin than to the others, though now I am trying different things. Lower Ph for the cubes, leaving it in a dome longer. Maybe they don't like the heat? I just don't know.
If there is anyone out there that has SPECIFIC information about cloning THAT SPECIFIC GENETIC, I would be most interested in your advice.
I do not want to come off as a know-it-all, because I don't know-it-all, but; I know how to clone, having cloned (no exaggeration) tens of thousands in my years of doing this work - so I don't need advice on how to clone. I would like to hear opinions about how to clone Harlequin, from someone who has done it. Do these girls need something special that I'm not giving? or is it just a difficult genetic to clone?
Here's additional info:

I would appreciate your advice or ideas ... and will send ten karma points to the deity of your choice.
