9 milli clone to ya dome

[montaze18]

i got a few clones i took from a flowering plant but no flowers or pistils on the clones they been under a humidity dome for 4 days and ive heard flowering clones take longer to root

i have them in small pots so it wont be easy to observe root production.

how do i know when they can make it without the dome so i can let em veg out for a bit n just chill

When it get roots. The reason for the domes is so it has a higher humidity because a clone drinks throw its leaves since it has no roots. So when it has a root system it then can live a normal live.

Someone else may be able to answer this better.

P.S. weird title

i know that but i can not tell when they get roots or how many they have cuz they are in like four inch clay pots.
also they are rooting in compost (i know , not the best) but i wanna know when my best bet to un-dome my clones would be

Well how can we tell when your plants are ready? This does not go by time every plant will be different. People can tell you how long it took them but that will not help you at all because if you move them too early they will die. If you can't look at roots maybe you should wait till you see new growth. *this is my guess* But when a plant is growing new growth it is usually a tell that the plant is developed.

If you can't see roots, wait 'til you hit the two week mark, then leave your dome off for 2 or 3 hours. If they wilt, spray 'em and put the dome back on, try again in 2 days. If they just wilt a little or none at all, they should probably have some nutrient uptake system going and be okay. When you see some vertical growth, you can be sure of it. If growth stops and leaves start to yellow, curl down and get ridged, they are probably rootbound. You can also gently remove the soil ball from the container, but I would wait until i suspected it was rootbound before then. If your container has drainage holes, you'll see the roots just pop out of them when they start really growing (probably within 5 days of first really sprouting roots), so you can just wait for that sign, too.

how big does the clone clipping need to be before you can cut it off the plant.

after 2 days or so you can go without the dome, or start lifting it slowly till you don't need it anymore. You wanna be dome free within a few days, and should have roots within a week or 2

Hey, AW... 2 days? Really!? That must change according to circumstances, because if I did that with my guys, I'd have a dead generation. But our readers could use that as a guideline... between 2 and 14 days, they should be able to remove the dome.
