Hello again!
Time for some cloning.
I've had the tops from the Peppermint Kush and Blueberry sitting on some water for a few days...maybe a week? Time flies.
Anyway, I'll be popping those two into my little coffee can cloner that I made a few months back. Just regular tap with a few drops of 4-0-0 cal-mag added.
I start them with the tip about 1/2" of water and just let it drop a bit through evaporation and plant transpiration.
I just keep an eye on the water level and check for goopies. I haven't had any so far. I keep the temp around 70- 75°.
I stopped using the cup/perlite method. I had to try something new so I can get more cuttings to clone a bit faster and more uniform. I'll be making another one of these cloners as soon as I can get a can. I still have coffee left over from the first one.
My old method was to fill a cup like this full of perlite and add water.
While it worked fine I would often get my cuttings mixed up and it was too easy to knock over. Causing me to cuss a lot.
So I cut these a little bit ago. I scraped the stems and stuck them in tap water.
All I have to do is insert them into the cloner collars ...
Thats it. I should have roots in about ten days +/-.
Thank you, VG. Your tops look pretty big. Where do you top your plants in order to get such a big cutting?
We actually have a cloning machine but I've never used it.
