Stem Troble

as i said its a CITRAL 26 days old
THE ONE ON THE RIGHT
its a bit smaller and darker colour
still a good green tho

any indeas?
tnx

[thebeatles069]

is that rockwool? i have herd that wet rockwool exposed to light can mold easily

[NorCalHal]

The rockwool is getting too soaked., use hydroton for DWC.

That looks crazy. Like a tiny beaver has been going at it.

[HATCH]

Oh, I see said the Blind man, You do have it over here.

I beleive your rockwool is way to wet. Might thinking of maybe using Cocca Plug's Or Rappid Starter Grow Plug's, I feel they work alot better then the rockwool cube's. I have seen many People Cusss'n The RockWool.

tnx man i guess so
id like to try to save it (just becouse of gaining some EXP)
but i dont know how

shit

[screwdababylon!]

is it possible to make it 1 big clone?

or put some extra rockwool cube around
it and hope that itll drop some roots upper the rotten shit?
there are 3 possibilitys in this case i think

1) it will drop roots through upper cube
2) itll rotten more and die
3) it will drop some roots but will rotten any way
becouse rotten shit will spread

making clones is the best idea so far IMO
i think i can make few there and make the rest show sex untill it die
if there will be enough time

i need more info
search of this forum didnt help me

[amsterdamage]

Hey man, the stem has apparently got some disease which will have destroyed the xylem for sure, now the plant can't get any water up from the roots to its top, so the top will die.

Your ideas are pretty good, but I think making as many normal sized clones as you can will be your best bet. Use rooting hormone and a heat pad and you'll probably get them all to strike.

GL man.

[screwdababylon!]

thanks man

im going to post the cloning process here
using some cloning DWC or AEROCLONER or whatever
its not done yet so it probably be some water cloning
using the GHE roots boost aditive around 300 PPM PH 5.5 not shure about the tempreture now - ill do some research there
im not shure plant will survive until i make a good cloner

so stay tuned

After you clone i would try to pull the top rockwool off and replace it with hydroton,i have had that before and they did survive and i also have pulled off RW from clones and planted them with great success(it was a test on some male subjects for experience).

sounds great!!!
thanks

[screwdababylon!]

ok

when i was cloning the plant i saw
some GREEN SHIT covering the rockwool
i was like WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i removed the whole "layer"
and thats what u see on the pic
i also puted some charcoal to soak som extra humidity and shit right there
maybe ill put some more

i couldnt remove more rockwool to replace it with hydroton
becouse the roots are beginig to grow right where
the rockwool ends now
(they are small but i didnt want to damage them)

[screwdababylon!]

i took 2 clones for the begining
and i made a DWC cloner with a humidity dome
really ghetto and cheap one but it works and looks wonderfull
u can find details in MY SETUP thread
i didnt find a heating mat
but a transperant DWC and a pretty hot cabinet do all the work for me

CONDITIONS:

55W CFL bulb
lights are on 24 hours a day
water temp - 24C
using a ph 6 water
and a 300 ppm (0,5 EC) GHE roots boost solution
humidity - 75%
the dome keeps the clones well sprayd all the time

lets see
