Clones won't root.........

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by Quiller, Mar 1, 2010.

  1. Just curious if anyone has any input to this problem. I took 25 fresh cuttings from an indoor purp. Used clone-x solution soaked in the rockwool and cloning gel for the cuttings.

    It has been 10 days and nothing. I have them in a humidity dome, humid is up in the dome, CFL light on them 18 hrs and the temp is around 80 f with a small lamp light in the closet.

    They are looking good, healthy and green. No wilt and standing tall. But no roots. The end of the stalk is rootless and shrunken.

    I have read that they need to dry a little to let the stalks and starter roots breath. These cubes are soaked, saturated still from the inital soak when I started them.

    The PH is around 6 - 6.5...... I used Root tech for the gel.

    Any suggestions or ideas why no roots???
     
  2. My sativa's took about 14 days before starting to root at all, and more like 20 days to show roots from the bottom of the cubes. Just keep them green and they will root eventually.
     
  3. They do have roots blasting out of stock but since then, there just hasn't been any change in about 4 weeks. WOndering if I stunted the growth somehow.

    What's the best thing I can do now to get them moving forward. Should I take them out of the rockwool and put them in soil?

    Add some Superthrive or nutes to the water?

    Put them under more powerful lights? (under 3 CFL and a 2' grow light from Walmart.)
     
  4. I would transplant them if the roots were developed enough. Superthrive is also pretty good, but it's the only nute I would suggest for young plants.

    And more light is always a good thing.
