Had to tie the plants down with some pipe cleaners! yay!
Ice water is getting chunked up!
Woowee! Getting plump!
Nice! I’m going to look at those orange trichomes under the microscope.

Oh it’s pretty strange. I’m going to harvest a bract as well and have a look. This is what is known as a bud leaf.

Heel cuttings are definitely doing things. They look as good, or better than when I took 'em from the mother plant. Even the one with less xylem is pushing that root!

My friend is like dude… that tiny ass clone isn’t even in the water. How does it survive?
well, I says… it just needs some moisture from splashing water.
Today it’s got it’s roots down into the water, at last. How long did it take? About 11 days for the slowest one. I mean, for the roots to finally turn into full on roots. The clones have always been growing and surviving very well.

I’m curious how these survive long term. I remember reading someone who lets the clone fully callus over before trying to root it. Their reasoning was a half healed callus let’s in pathogens later in the plants life. I wonder if having the heel bark will callus over or be an access point for pathogens

I’m gonna put my money on the heel part turns into the root ball! IF It doesn’t I owe myself ten bucks

I have also heard of people applying wax to the cut end to seal it off. Never tried it myself. I do use cloning gel which probably helps in sealing the wound.

Hey Joe what’s your nose description of the PPP? Oh and still mildew free around here.

I would say it’s like a sour fuel kind of smell. I was going to call it fuel-dank, lol! Yah people are definitely getting the message about nuking their mildew colony. I was able to stomp out most of the misinformation! I know lots of people who are using the ideas presented in the mildew thread don’t come back and tell of how it worked out, but I see the number of reads it got, and I know it’s mission complete. The 6 meters/20 feet spread distance max got lots of people agitated. It’s mind boggling, because the international team of phytologists agree with me.

So the larger of those heel clones put out a root on the stem, as well!
The one with more xylem is looking good, and the one with less, has generated some to connect better to the root, it seems! I’ll take them out and do a better examination tomorrow! I’m really curious about what will happen.

Eeeeeeee-ntoresting!
This is the larger clone with less xylem. You can see it’s constructed a connection between the root node and plant stem. Roots are busting out all over the place!
This is the tiny ass clone! With lots of material from the mother plant!
Under side is blurry but you can see a dot at the core of the cutting.
These roots developed faster than the ones on the larger cutting, but the larger cutting has now pushed out far more nodes than the smaller one. Probably due in part to the siZe.
