clone help

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by Osiris, May 13, 2005.

  1. my friend recently came into possession of about 12 pots of clones about 6-12 inches each. however hes never grown anything before and doesnt have a computer and needs help growing the plants.

    are there any tips, hints, or advice somebody can give to me to give to my friend? i do plan on reading the guides posted for additional information but i gotta jet to work right now, so ill be back later tonight. any help will be greatly appreciated!
     
  2. i take it hes obtained rooted clones?...if thats the case just treat them like normal plants...
     
  3. ehh i dont really know what that means

    oh yea, and i talked to my friend again before n it turns out they're only like 4 inches tall so far
     
  4. If they are rooted, they need plenty of bright light, and just enough food and water to keep them growing. If they are not rooted, they need dimmer light, no food, and just enough water to keep them from wilting. If they are in a rooting medium, keep it moist, but not wet, which could cause them to rot. If they still get wiltish, you can construct a humidity dome over them, or refresh them with a misting spray.
    Good luck! Wish I had such an oportunity...

    a clone is a cutting from a plant, that is dipped in a root hormone, and grows roots over about 2 weeks.

    1. you need humidity

    2. you need florescent lighting for the time it is rooting.


    A 'rooted' clone is just a clone that has finally grown roots.
    if the clone doesnt stand up by itself without a humidity dome, then it isnt rooted yet.

    And easier way to tell when they are ready.. is using a water bottle as a pot and a humidity dome all in one.

    you cut it in half, fill halfway with soil, insert clone, and tape the top on.

    since the pot will be clear, you will be able to see when roots show.

    but if they are already rooted, then just get them under florescent lights 18/6

    reading grow guides will help u alot..
