1st question: i cannot find any rooting hormone around my town, is it necessary,can i just take a cutting and stick it into the soil? or should i send away for some rooting hormone via inernet?

2) how much more effective are bubblers, and how much do the pumps cost?

3) can i clone a flowered female? to what effect?

thanks, i have read all the grow guides i can find, and did do a search but didnt come up with a satisfactory answer

It isn't totally necessary but it does help out alot. I have noticed root growth occur much faster to cuttings that had had the hormone applied to them as opposed to those that I applied none to

How are they more effective than what? Soil? Little better ... hydroponics is proven to provide faster, lusher growth. Cost sorry can't help ya there ... so a search on the net using keywords like hydroponic

Need more detail on what ou mean by flowered female. After the cycle is over? You can take cuttings from females about 2 weeks into flowering and still have them root successfully. the farther into the cycle you go the harder it is to get them to root and the success rate is much lower. I usually take clones the first day I can see sex on the plant if I haven't identified it by its preflowers.

I saw some root grow hormone stuff at Wal-mart. I do not know if they have it at every store, but it might be worth a looksee.

I hope I*ve helped someone, somewhere. I have certainly got alot of help from here.

Everyone take a puff for me! I*m without and broke .O h well, tommorrow is a new day!

Hey;
If you take clones the first day you can see sex on the plant, where do you take your cuttings from??? Do you cut right where the new branches are forming? Or what??

you can pretty much take it anywhere on the node, as long as there's enough leaves remaining on the piece you cut off.
say you have an undergrowth shoot of 9 nodes, you can take it off at the 6th node (topping the actual node), making a cutting, and forcing the branch you topped to grow 2 new growing tips.. (reccomended for bush growing), now if you just wanted to clear out some undergrowth and make some cuttings, make the cut where you asked about. leave about a 1/2" to an inch of stem left on the actual plant so it doesnt affect the main stalk.

On this subject, i have 8 white widow clones into 4th week of flowering under 1000w HPS, they are HUGE, well, i think so at least, about 30 inches tall, already full of resin there has to be at least 1 oz on each plant already, or more, ( i know the buds shrink a lot during drying but i am sure i already have 1 oz )

"side note:, is it normal to have resin glands develop to the point of being on fan leaves this early into flower??? last time it took about 7 weeks before i saw any glands!" this was however with 400W.

Anyway, as my suply of clones is no longer available, can i clone this plant, there are some potential clones at the bottom that have 3 fingered leaves with only a few white hairs, can i use these, or are they immature? Do i need to take a clone from a 5 leaf branch?

I have some walmart type rooting GEL, is this ok? I normally have ok success with cloning house plants so this should not bee too bad.

I have 40 inch flo's that i plan to hook up to my closet, what is the ideal temp for cloning?

I have ordered seeds from Emery Seeds, hope it works out ok! i ordered Green Spirit, and Chronic.

the "white" strains will have trichome production way earlier than other strains. Very pretty, you are a lucky man, highonline!

Well, the answer is no, it's had it, and u really ought to get rid of thatplant before it causes u anymore heart ache.

I can come around tommorow and pick it up from u if u like.

yes very sad indeed, oh well, these things happen.

Ah mate, I reckon u can take ya self some cuttings from where you said, nothin to loose right?
But I can pick it up if ulike.
