Bandaid Haze #7 And Other Goodies

Humidity domes don't help with seedlings. They'll sprout and be accustomed to the climate they're in.

Clones, on the other hand, do benefit from humidity (although, not necessarily required) since it helps slow transpiration from the leaves until there are roots to uptake water. :Namaste:

I have to say I do use a humidity dome but I've been planting right in soil. The minute I see a seed come up, I take it off. It's strictly for keeping the soil from drying out around the seed from my often too dry conditions in the tent. My success rate is much better like this.

This is what I do too. I use a dome while they finish sprouting. Once they pop, I open the vents on it and let them go a full day like that. Next day, off with the dome and that's it.
 
Clearly you don’t need to Pdub. Almost every seed you sowed came up! Mom looks good, as does BH7-1. You’re about to be in with the cuttings galor! .... everybody line up :laugh:

I can take a cutting off a plant and stick it in a glass of water and it will look just fine without drooping/wilting. When I take that same cutting and plant it in a solo cup with ProMix and Clonex Solution in a matter of a half hour to an hour it's already all wilted without a dome of some sort. Now when I plant a cutting the ProMix is just moist not wet so maybe that has something to do with it. That's why I'm shaking my head about that cutting you took and planted right into (I'm assuming) coco and it looked and looks just fine. Can anyone explain this phenomenon in laymen's terms that I can understand?
 
Not sure but I keep them moist not wet. It’s not under direct light it’s off to the side. The big clone was rooted in a glass of tap water. It took 4 weeks but it held up well.
 
I'm guessing there's a huge difference to the cutting between damp or wet ProMix vs. being actually wet..

Cuttings in aeroponic or hydroponic cloners don't droop either.
 
Well if I plant a cutting in wet Promix it takes forever for them to root. If I just moisten the media they root a lot faster. I'm thinking they know they better put out some roots cause the water isn't there for the taking.

Penny is the clone whisperer. All there is to it. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

No I’m far from it, still learning when it comes to cloning.

We’re all still learning. Some are just further along than others. ;) :cheesygrinsmiley:

Mom plant care: root pruning

Marijuana is an annual plant. It is designed to germinate, veg, flower, and die all during one year. Those of us who like to grow from clones sometimes want to keep a favorite mom plant around for years, continually harvesting clones from the top of the plant. Over time, the plant becomes more...

From the root prune:
. I like to root prune several days after watering; you don't want to work with a soggy plant.

This was my question. Wet or dry.

Fairly dry seems to work well.

I've root pruned both wet and dry root balls and dry is definitely better. You can saw through a nice compacted and dry root ball but if its too wet then its messy and you tare at the soil sometimes causing the ball to fall apart

Hey Penny. Hope you're keeping well buddy
