Great seeing your pics. For your next set of clones I would keep the leaves but cut them in half so the clone does not have to support a big leaf. I would not mess with things at this point.

Sorry gents havenā€™t been online a lot lately, busy with life

Humidity, pH are essential to for quick/healthy roots

Hereā€™s what I do;
Take cuts, dip in rooting hormone gel
Fill cloner with pHā€™d water and clonex solution
24hr light, and I mist the plants 2x a day
Keep humidity ~90%, I donā€™t have a dome

Cheers,

The stems donā€™t look slimy or brown/black so just be patient. Itā€™s all about your climate as to how quick or slow youā€™ll get roots

Cheers,

The light and humidity might be the issue I only had it on 18/6 as far as humidity I moved it to my veg tent do I might have to add a dome. On good note yes the stems do not look slimy and I think Iā€™m starting to see little dimples on the stems Iā€™ll check when the lights come back on thank you for the help any other advice please let me know thanks again family

@xgx13xgx If you hit day 7 and you still donā€™t see any white tissue, the beginning of your roots, forming on your stems then something is wrong. It took 7 days for these to start forming but once they did they took off. My other cuts from different plants didnā€™t do so well. I only got 5 or 6 roots to form.

Today is day 4 or 5 cant remember but I just checked on them and the stems are not slimy or flimsy they are still hard and i rubbed my finger on the stench and they are not smooth they are rough kind of like 20 grit sand paper thinking maybe the roots are trying to come out.
Maybe another bag of clonex solution?
Maybe turn the lights up to 24 hrs?
Maybe add the clone done and spray?

Ok so I added a dome to the top and sprayed the leaves and have the lights on 24 hrs hope to get some faster results now

Patience is all ya need. Sounds like youā€™re on the right path :+1:t2:

Iā€™ve had some that were tough to root and took a few weeks

Light green colour is always a good indication thatā€™s theyā€™re alive and well

Cheers,

Packee

Mine seem to have a dark green color


On aside note here is my current flowers lol 3 monster mass from critical mass collective and 3 amhurst sour diesel from Humboldt seed organization

First time I used an aeroponics cloner I had them in the hot water cupboard with a t5 light on 24hrs a day and it took between 7 and 14 days for some of them then they just exploded. All done with the same strain but there were 7 days between some of them so Iā€™d just wait it out and let them do their own thing
