Bare minimum light for rooting clones

That norcal dosido plant is close to a year at this point, got the cuttings last April. I really like the savory flavor it has. I have a new mother growing out now before I retire that one. All my mothers are kept in those 16oz square containers. They’re in promix, but I feed them like they’re in coco :sweat_smile:

Roots from minimum light off to side

I basically do my clones the same as @Cartwright but use ProMix HP that I run through a 1mm mesh screen to get the lumps out and make good contact with the stems. I cheat tho by dipping in rooting gel then powder. Always make sure to poke a bigger hole than they need so the stems can go in without pushing all the goop up and losing contact. I just poke the soil in by sticking the blade of my little Swiss army knife in beside it and push the soil around then spray a bunch on the soil. Then I wipe the blade on my pants and use it to cut and prep the next one. Sterility is vastly overrated imo. :slight_smile:

In the top tray at the top are 3 Pink Kush cuttings from the very top of the plant I cut off to get rid of some tall tops and stuck 3 in a glass of water for about 5 days before cutting all the rest. One even had a little root bump starting on the side. They sat in one of the big pots so about 4’ from my 600W MH.

The 3 right below that are also Pink Kush but cut fresh and put in.

The middle tray has Cherry Noir. I have 2 different mothers so 3 from each and the bottom tray has GG#4 and Earth Lover all CBD from Sebring’s seed site.

All are going to be used to make fem seeds with using STS. The 3 plants to the right are Mazarilla Auto fems by @Urban_Legends. All planted at the same time and one sprayed with STS that finally produces some 'nanners which I collected and used a bit to dust some lower buds on the other two back on March 13. Some seeds busting out of calyxes now so will soon be chopping those.

They are just catching the side light from my little 5 bulb COB LED that pulls 207W from the wall and are all doing pretty good so I expect 100% rooting like usual.

Should have some nice fem seeds later to donate. That pink kusk is supposed to be fire and the Cherry Noir is really nice from the 1/4oz my buddy sent along with the 4 clones from back east late last year. they arrived the day after I left for a month in BC and the wife did her best but one died. 2 Each from different moms so it didn’t really matter. I can make F1s and S1s from those.

All the mothers got flipped to 12/12 3 days ago.

:peace:
