ROTTEN STEM TROUBLE - help needed (citral 26 days old)

[dimitar13]

it's over bro ,relax and start again

they look good man, I hope you're successful with them!

One thing for next time, it's best to make your cuts just below a node rather than in the internode. The nodes contain a lot of hormones so you get better results when you cut just below one.

yeah tnx man
ive read about that
i did cut one of them under the node (or its still too far?)
but the second one would be too small if i cuted it there

ill make more just to learn
the problem is my friend still belive its gonna make it
and hes yelling when im going to cut more)

P!

no, that first one is perfect, any closer to the node than that and you risk damaging it.
I thought that about the second one, but apparently it's better to go close to the node and have a smaller cutting than cut in the internode.

Once the xylem's been removed in a complete ring like that (in trees it's called 'ring barking') the water has no way of getting up from the roots.
The plant is doomed.

ohh i see

any way my cab got space only for 2 big plants
i guess ill have one big CITRAL and reeplace the doomed one
with few single cola ones i make from those clones or maybe the THAI HAZE SKUNK i got already

u can see it in my growjournal
if ur interested

i wonder how long can it stay alive
maybe i should swich it to 12/12 to see the sex
maybe theres no reason to make clones if its a male

six days pased

and im not so shure that plant is doomed
the stem seemed to like the charcoal
and some extra air movement at the bottom
it is much bigger just above the rotten shit
and that shit dont look so rotten now
its colour changed to a light brown
(dont look at the black stuff- thats charcoal)

i would say that i see some positive improvement
what ya think?

by the way - clones have no signs of roots yet
and thay dont look too happy - but doin fine

peace

[screwdababylon!]

HAHA! GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think i can close this thread now
im a lucky ass! am i?

[screwdababylon!]

those clones i took from it didnt root
but who cares now!!!!

maybe it wasnt healthy enough to produce new roots
maybe i screwd it up myself who knows..
