will cuttings last ~24hours after being cut from the plant, until they are planted in a soil mixture, or jiffy plugs? what is the maximum amount of time that a cutting will last until planted?
you need to get it in soil immediatly.. otherwise it will probably die.. but if I were to make an educated guess, i'd say 4-8 hours max..
my juicyfruit cutting took 3 days to get here stuffed in a plactic bag and thrown in the glovebox of the car.lts a weed .l even have some now that l took form bits l,d cut off 2 days before.But sooner is better ,l,am just saying its a weed and will grow if ya let it .
Its not like an animal when one min its alive and the next min its dead.. It can last a while.. As long as it has O2 and a little moisture, it can last a few days.. But I wouldn't take any chances.. just get it setup as fast as possible..
so what your saying is that i can put it in a jiffy plug and then put it in a small box and it should last a day until i get a good little temporary room setup. I was thinking of making a little 18" square x 2' high box to let the clones veg in until i get a good wooden box built.
excellent.....excellent is sidious around? sid, your expert advice would be much apreciated. woody too, after seeing your crop report you obviously know what you doin.
oh yeah, fuck, i forgot about that. what a coincidince, the two most knowledgeable people away getting high. i found a growfaq on overgrow showing me how to keep em' fresh for like 3 - 5 days. www.overgrow.com/growfaq/1218
i used the meathod above to take about 8 cuttings 3 - 6" long in a 30oz. wilcox milk container. hopefully it will keep 'em fresh until i get a little cloning box setup to support them. p.s. i didnt cover the top with cardboard, i slid the bottom part of the bottle back on and sealed with duct tape. thought it would hold moisture better.
you can take a cutt... put it in a glass of water and it will last for days and days and days no probs..... dont put it in a glass of piss though....
