They've been in the dome for about 3 weeks, and are outgrowing the dome at this point but as soon as I take them out they will wilt badly. If I put them back in the dome they perk back up and look ok.

Greeting & Hallucinations,

So on friday, I decided to sow some winter cropping vege seeds into some six pak starter containers (a little 6 cell'd flexible walled junkie planter), (1) for Broccoli, (1) for Carrots, (1) for Cauliflower and (1) Spinich and decided to also go ahead and germinate some of those Trainwreck seeds from that female clone from my 1st flower session this year that hermied from light leaking into the flower cab.
From what i've read and how I understanding this concept, a female only plant has only female pollen therefore if she stresses during a flower cycle and hermorphodites the male flowers pollen is female pollen due to NO male genes being present. The seeds produced by this self pollinating plant will produce female plants.
If a female plant was hermorphoditic to begin with the pollen will have male genetics as well which will create more of the mix male, female, hermie.
So, i'm praying to the Gods above for these (6) dark brown tiger striped beans of the 40+ or so that were collected from the TW plant will produce beautiful Ladies that will have been cross pollinated with the AK47 and KGB from that same flower session, since pollen from those two as well had no where else to go but on my beautiful other two Ladies.
God, i'm praying this is so cause, whatever the unintentional crosses will produce and/or the tendencies of either of the genetics involved will be a welcome addition to my garden..

Have a Great night
don

p.S. these beans were all germinated in FoxFarm Light Warrior soil planted on friday, all the Broc and (3) of the TW have sprouted. The others are just slower
p.S.S hey Lou, I got a little more than an ounce dry from those (3) small LST'd trainwrecks and i'm sure more than an oz from BB from the 1st LST Project of 2009, 2nd one is in now 1 BG, 2 AK47

Do you see any roots?

Sure can, I'm certain they're ready to come out of the dome. It's just every time I take them out they wilt and look like I'm gonna lose them so I put them back in. I think I need to start keeping my dome open longer when I let them breath. I think I've been giving them too much humidity and now they're relying on it. What do you think??

CamperDon

evening,

I like those domes with built-in vents that while rotating to open is regulates the amount of venting or you could cut small vents flaps near the top of each end of the dome. Like a full size greenhouse has louvered fans on either end near the peak of the roof to exhaust builtup heat/humidity

Like you said leave the dome off a little longer each day

Good luck
don

Chief, if they have roots, have no fear of the wilting, they will perk up in few hrs under the lights.

Don't put them directly front of a fan though, you don't want them to be drying too fast.

Sometimes my rooted clones stay wilted for a day when I put them under the lights the first day, nothing to worry, they always come up and start growing on the second day.

Good morning,

It's kind of like "Hardening" off your germinated/growing vege plants before you can plant them outdoors.. One can't just raise a seedling indoors and try to put it outside without having it wilt away due to not being used to the outside enviroment, one needs to get them used to the outside for a few days (sometimes only a couple) first.
Set them out in a shady spot or indirect light for an hour or so a little longer each day til their used to it and don't wilt anymore, keep vents open if kept under dome, don't won't them dependent on that humidity.. At least this is my line of thinking and this could work the same for indoor growing, going from a humidity chamber to a shelf under lights!! Since the seedlings/cut clones are not used to the light they need to be "Hardened" off

Good luck and have a Great day
don

I really appreciate it Lou and Camper420! I think I've just been so worried about making sure they have enough humidity, I've just been over doing it a bit(ok a lot!) on the water, along with not letting them breath long enough. Makes for high humidity reliant clones!

Thanks again!

So I decided not to do another journal, this grow is too by the book, nothing too interesting, so might as well throw you some pics Lou since I gotta share these somehow...

The five clones on the very left are at 3wks 5dys...
the two clones on the right are at 1wk 5dys..
next batch of clones have already rooted two days ago and are going in friday...

I decided four is a good number, five a little too much and two not enough, so four clones every two weeks....

here they are...
