how long does it usually take for your clones to root?

because ive only had success cloning with one of my strains before and that was long ago and a strain ive lost.

but now, in a 4 inch pot, with a 2l bottle as a humidity dome (slight cut in the top for air)
2 feet away from a 400w mh (right at the edge, shade from 2 big pots, but surprisingly much light though)

a clone has rooted! (top i accidentally broke off) and in 3 days, maybe a tad over. no less!

started to grow and everything, almost quarter larger.

i just put it there, little hope of success (have tried cloning this strain before ) just took off the bottlecap maybe 5 mins each day. and added some water (30+c temps in there, goes up to 35c at night)

so i wonder, obviously the higher temps, 23-30c in the past always.

and the mh, thats new.

so going from almost never cloning, to cloning in 3 days?

ive read (one place) that mh speeds up the cloning process.

have any of you any experience with that? how long does it take to root, i always hear 7 days minimal?

bobbooty

i think 5-7 days is optimal.

whats the ph of the water? temps are usually key for cloning. the more optimal the better. ive heard of 3-5day rooties. are they just nubs? or long hippie haired roots already?

hmm, no rootpowder, no idea of the water, just know its good water. some of the best bottled water in the world, comes from here and they dont need to filter it. i get the same water from the tap.

never do ph

30c in the day, 35c in the night.

i cant see the roots, but the plant has doubled in height and started growing, so...

3 days? hehehe nice..

i wonder if its the mh? and the temps.

edit: yeah ive just checked it, no wilting, sprayed it a tad though..but all the times ive cloned, ive never seen growth happen before roots.

bobbooty

temps most likely. and that really low temp variance range.

thanks, yes, i thought that too, its about 10 c higher than normal for me (different apartment)

just was curious about the mh too, because ive read that it speeds up cloning.

also, i kept the sodabottle label on for the first day, almost darkness, just could barely see the clone.

and did not use a clone powder.

the temp variance, i have all the lights on, 24/7, just rotate plants in and out (have a closet nearby for dark)
its just that if i close the door (like want to go to sleep ) the temps rise 5c. or there would be steady temps.

bobbooty

yeah i dont use clone gel or powder or stimulant of any kind either. just plain un ph'd water, in the ezcloner. the fastest ive seen it root is around 5-7 days. just depends on temps. i have the cloner under 2 x 4ft t5's, for a total of around 300w maybe.

yeah, i got the feeling that a rootpowder or gel is pretty pointless.

especially after this try

oh its definetly a freak thing, but i think i should keep that clone as a mom the parent is just about read to go into flowering, so we´ll see the smoke report

its a child of a fantastic hermy, but im bit sad that the offspring havent hermied this time around, i wanted more seeds (around 15 seeds last time)
