  2. is that rockwool? i have herd that wet rockwool exposed to light can mold easily
     
  3. The rockwool is getting too soaked., use hydroton for DWC.

    That looks crazy. Like a tiny beaver has been going at it.
     
  4. 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.
     
  5. hi PPL

    thanks for your replys - i agree with u

    but what do i do now?
     
  6. PLEASE HURRY!!!
    SHIT IS GETTING WORSE!!!

    i need some real advices and help
     
  7. sorry to say but i think its gonna die, so if i were u i'd clone the bitch as much as i can. but thats jus me and id wait a bit more to see if it is saveable.
     
  8. tnx man i guess so
    id like to try to save it (just becouse of gaining some EXP)
    but i dont know how

    shit
     
  9. 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
     
  10. 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.
     
  11. 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
    :wave::wave::wave:
     
  12. 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).;)
     
  13. sounds great!!!
    thanks
     
  14. 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)

  15. 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
    :wave:

  16. it's over bro ,relax and start again
     
  17. 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.
     
  18. 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!
     
  19. 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. :(
     
  20. 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
