Not a bad idea. Just be careful. Dont want them to fall over. If I were there with my tape you wouldn't have to worry nothing moves after I'm done giving it a tape job.

Well, this auto grower has jumped into Clone World because I got an offer, and who am I to turn down free plants!
Details:
- 420 AK-47 fem (x2): 20:1 THC/CBD, 60% Indica/40% Sativa
- 420 Gold Leaf fem: 21:"high" THC/CBD (really 420, what the heck does that mean?), 35% Indica/65% Sativa
- Clones taken from recently flipped healthy parents, AK has pistils, Gold Leaf does not
- These will be kept in veg until next fall, so for now they will be outside during the day and moved under lights at night ~20/4 once they root. Once we're past the vernal equinox they will be grown outside exclusively
- The clones are in Miracle Grow potting mix (no nutes) for now. They will be up-potted into Dr Earth Pot of Gold
- Soil mix will be 70% soil/30% rinsed perlite
- Pots will be scaled up as needed to approx 7 gallon smart pot
- Sunlit during the day, under 64 watt T8 plus CFLs at night
- Air cooled, like literally air cooled.
- Temps determined by mother nature with the help of heat from the lights at night. Shed is unheated.
- Pests are many and various and will be handled organically with neem, spinosad, BT, and diatomaceous earth
- Watered as needed
- Nutes:
Cal/Mag +

Great White mycorrhizae
I use pH Down because my tap water runs pretty alkaline (around 7.6 pH) and when left standing it rises to 8.4. I'm shooting for the 6.0-6.4 pH range.
For the record, my tap water is ~100PPM and is purified with chloramine, which doesn't evaporate. Even so, I let my water stand out for at least 24 hour before I use it. No idea why.
Next post...PICS (and the first night of cloning story...)!
Excited bro!! I got gold leaf too!!
Poke a couple holes for a vent? I would suggest 70 to 90%. Too high and mold will form really fast and fungi love warm wet area. Just my 2 cents but shoot they look awesome shed! Keep it up bud
Just remember the only source of water they have right now is through their leaves.
Yeah screw it. They look happy as can be. It's like a tropical paradise in that tub . Just keep the h202 handy if you notice any white fuzzy gerbil on the soil give it a little watered down spray . Otherwise I think your good until you see roots. In that environment I'm guessing as soon as next week for sure bud.
Man I wish I could do that now....so jealous, lol.
Slows down and/or stops transpiration in the little clone bastards, giving them a chance to hold on to more of their precious water while they root. That and, it makes it easier to cram like 100000 clones into a humidity dome without to much overlap of the leaves too. :3I'm curious... what does cutting the tips across do?
Welcome to the world of revege, that's what you have to thank for the shanky stem structure I'm sure you're about to have .Clone day 3! 99% humidity in the box this morning so I left the lid off for about 15 minutes and it got down to 95% at the bottom. Temps in the low to mid 70s in there so I'm hoping that's all good. I do want the soil to dry out a bit so I can get Great White in there without drowning them so I'll be venting the lid whenever I'm home.
Here's this morning's pic before I sprayed them and covered them for the day.
I tried tipping them to get the leaves off the ceiling but I would have had to go so far over the roots would have gotten confused as to where to grow so I left them as is.
Planning ahead:
1. Should I take off the flowering bits?
2. Do roots show first or new growth?
3. I'm guessing clones continue with alternating nodes so how will I recognize new growth? Will the small shoots just take off or does it come straight out of the top?
4. How do you top a plant with alternating nodes? It's not like two will grow if you cut it, will it?
5. And last, when I up-pot can I bury more of the stem? I need these to start off shorter than they are now.
Thanks all! Hope your week has been good so far
Welcome to the world of revege, that's what you have to thank for the shanky stem structure I'm sure you're about to have . When you top them generally go for the highest node on the biggest cola when the plants are so young . New growth should start coming from everywhere you see bud sites, however reveging can take like 20 days before roots sometimes so you will have to be super patient.
