Sure BT, but it sounds like you took your clones in flower. Mine are still in hard-core veg mode. Anyway, I had a couple sets of bottom branches that might otherwise get pruned off during growth. Since you want to take clones from the bottom part of the plant preferable, I left them on the plant for this very purpose. All I did was snip the cutting, prune off all greenery below the apical meristem, nip the leaf tips left on the cutting, gently scrape the lower 1/4" or so of the stem, dip in clonex gel and insert into the rapid rooter plug.
I put 16 oz of RO water in the tray, placed the plugs in, and sprayed the cuttings with 1/2 strength de-stress everyday. I had them under a dome and under a P300 on veg and at about 40". The clones are currently under the same light but it's been dropped to 35". Once they show some new growth I'll drop it to 24".
Most likely the best thing I did for them was to not fuck with them.
Thanks for that info again. They were taken in veg but it didnt hit me until you said they were prob takin in flower that i know what the problem was. I forgot that when I was cleaning I bumped my timer and screwed up photoperiod, i got that fixed but I bet that its holding them back. Hopefully they pull through otherwise i will just take more.
