Hey Guys Welcome to my first attempt at cloning.
I wasn't going to complicate thing's as i am only halfway through my first grow attempt,but after possibly having two out of my three ladies turn polyploid decided to attempt to clone them,so here goes
SUPPLIES :
Rock wool cubes
Brand new razor blade
Brand New sharp scissors
Clonex rooting gel
1 Cardboard box
1 12watt cfl spiral bulb (715 lumens)
1 Cut down shopping basket (don't ask where i got it couldn't tell you ha ha)
1 Clone dome
Mister Bottle
First off i cut a hole the size of my extractor ducting in the bottom of the cardboard box using a razor blade(pic 1),and then cut a 1 3/4 inch slit across the top for the light(pic 2)
I then placed some (4) rockwool cubes into ph'd water and let soak for 20 mins
I chose where i wanted to take two cuttings from each of the Power Plant (all 4 were taken from the bottom 1/3 of the plant) I cut them all close to the main stem,and were all strong and healthy
I cut all the lower fan leaves off and just left the top sets of leaves,then i put them up against my clone dome to see what height i wanted to cut them put my thumb where i wanted to make the cut,then used a scissors to cut roughly a 45 degree angle under ph'd water(couldn't get pics of this needed more hands lol)
I then took the sterilised razor blade and scraped the bottom 3/4 of an inch of outer coating off the branch
I didn't leave the stuff on the bottom that was just so you could see what i was doing.
I took the razor blade and proceeded to make a half inch cut in the main stem from the bottom towards the top effectivly splitting her in 2 ;-)
I then placed the scraped,split cutting into the clonex rooting gel and left for a few mins
Then i placed the cutting(clone) into the pre soaked rockwool cube,gave them a good misting with plain ph'd water to 6.5 trimmed all the fan leaves that were left and repeated the process for all 4
I then misted the inside of the dome to keep the humidity high and placed inside my home made clone dome-dome
I will keep posting updates so watch this space !!
Thanks For Stopping by
