Quick update/recap:

Grew out 24 plants and cloned all of them. As they grew out I threw out clones of plants that were unimpressive structurally etc.

Here are the 8 remaining clones, which are now the mothers for the actual pollination/crossing:

Hand watering is hard lol… Have had plants wilt multiple times because I forget to do it… I’ll be taking clones from the moms using an aero cloner this time. Hopefully I get a quicker success.

Then I will grow out the clones and reverse a single plant (so far have a Durban in mind that was fast, has a solid up high and smells great) to openly pollinate the others. This should result in many seeds of 5-6 F1 crosses.

Hope all is well with you guys, have a great night

Same buddy, let’s hope it’s a good one :sunglasses:

So far, the aero cloner is a nicer experience than using cubes for cloning. It’s fast and fairly easy to take a cut and put it in a collar.

I took 3 clones from each of the 8 plants and wrote down a little diagram to know which is which based on a corner that I taped on the top.

Hopefully these clones take because a few of the mothers don’t look great…

I don’t do well at hand watering so I let them wilt sometimes and the ones that wilted bad are in not great shape AND I just cut off a bunch of their growth so…

Here is hoping these aren’t all toppled over tomorrow morning.

They should be fine that is my preferred way to clone.

Couple of them feel over last night so I put the dome on. Couple articles I read said not to use it but I think it’s too dry here without.

Do you use the dome normally or is it usually not needed :thinking: ?

No dome when in the cloner they should just truck right along as if nothing happened to them. These were cut last night .

Hmmm… Wonder why mine fell over like that :thinking:

Not all of them but maybe 1/4 of them. And they are upright now.

Guess I’ll leave the dome for now and slowly open the vents and see if they adapt.

Does your cloner have the manifold along with a air stone ? Make sure there getting water.

It’s like a sprayer deal. I’m pretty sure they are getting water because when I remove a collar it sprays everywhere out of the hole :joy:

Sometimes they get ‘shocked’ and need a little time to recover.
Once they get into the water mist underneath - they perk up.

Same as mine just cut some more clones and they drooped for a couple hrs then perked up.

Hey man, my clones all have roots, but like 3 of them seem to be flowering despite 18 hours of light and the same light cycle as the mothers. Not sure what I’d be doing to cause that :thinking:

They weren’t autos by chance?

They’d have to be…
I’ve had “autos” not autoflower, taken clones, and had the clones automatically flower. Unstable breeding I suppose?

Not necessarily shock maybe !

They are photos for sure. Could be shock… I think it’s one of the wilder sativa plants doing it. If I remember right this happened actually when I did clones in rockwool cubes as well. I have the lighting at the absolute minimum.

But your lights are still 18/6 with no signs of revegitation?
