Nice...you can tell us a lil about your setup..nutes and all that...pics are always fun

2 x 3 tent 400hps, 4in fan with carbon filter, coco and soil 50/50 mix. I'm using old age nutes . Winter me upload pics I'll figure that out this afternoon

SO do clone's leaves grow or does the new growth just take over and the original fans die off??

Cool...not sure what it looks like when you reply on here but mine has a lil + with a circle around it...I hit that then brings up a page where you can hit buttons on the bottom to take pic or upload it

All my clones leaves start looking like crap once they start trying to root them while they are rooting the leaves look worse then new growth starts and old leaves die off..but I clone different and most my cuttings are smaller than others

With the clones I've taken the original leaves (depending on your method) will show very little yellowing or a lot of yellowing. That doesn't get better as the cuttings take root. If healthy all the new leaves post rooting will be green. I have to admit that if a clone is growing with lots of vigor and putting out lots of new foliage I'll snip off the yellowing leaves.

Ok gonna just grab some pics one sec.....

The plant in the back left of this photo...........it's not a male is it? Pretty tall and scrawny. The photo is not large enough or close-up enough to see for sure.

SO here's some shots. I'm wondering where the new growth will come from.

And the tips hardening off is a good sign correct? They weren't like that the first week. I'm assuming b.c the cutting didn't have the strength and was likely confused by the change of environment...

 

[907skunk]

When the leaves starting looking bad it's because( in most cases) the plant is using all the energy and everything it has to start the roots

 

[907skunk]

All new growth will be at the top ...will grow like a Christmas tree unless you top it or train it

Your clones look fantastic. Very healthy. Once rooted a clone is nothing more then a plant. The new growth will come from all the same places they did on the mother plant. Obviously at the top of the plant. But also new branches will start to form at nodes lower on the plant.

I am not a plant expert nor do I play one here on 420 magazine. I do not and will not share information I do not believe to be 100% accurate. Never take the word of just one person when trying to make an important decision about your plants.

Once the cutting roots and becomes a clone the plant "toughens" up quite a bit. It can live outside a dome without wilting. Once they have put down roots the stem has more spring to it (kind of weak when newly cut) and I imagine that would pertain to the leaves as well.

Sweet! I think skunk said their cuts are much smaller so there may not be any lower areas to grow from.... I just keep thinking oh there rooted or rooting and cause I don't check for growth often. I just assume she's finally getting close now! I'll check. Ok I took this cut Oct. 26 so I'm thinking this is her week!!!! Need to preserve those awesome genetics her mom displays!

 

[907skunk]

Here's my clones I took not long ago...ugly as hell but putting off good roots

 

[907skunk]

And yes eventually new growth will start showing between each node and growing everywhere

 

[907skunk]

These clones was just as small and ugly as the ones I just posted

They all came from females mothers. I'll keep a close eye on it though.
