Sorry to hear about the cuts not rooting... I feel your pain.

7 days isn't nearly panic time for any strain IMO, and yellowing is typically a good sign isn't it?

By the way, is that the spray / mist manifold cloner, or a bubble cloner? What size pump, and did it run 24/7 prior to shutoff?

Its a sprayer ( lil red ones, 360 degree no moving parts ) I got 20 of them on 1/2 pvc and Im using a 500gph rio
for the most part I've had it on 24/7, at one point like wensday I changed it to 15/15 and thats when it turned off for the first time, the timer i used had a 4 h block turned off, I caught that a few hours in, changed it back to 24/7.

its a 31 gallon rubber maid, I got 56 sites on it, running about 5gallons of RO water ph'd to 5.8

Im not panicing... starting to.. :joint:

Hi you Jedi Pimp ;)
I would also say that you shouldn't worry bout the clones right now.
Mine took 14 days this time. As long as you keep the RH up, no problem.
Your plants are looking very vital! Nice set-up man.
Keep it green! :rasta:

Good morning! Nice to hear that the government finally starts to take care of citizens ^^
How does it work? They give you 9 month and in this time you should get a job? And can you really live from it?
Keep it green! :rasta:

hehe you get like 60% of your wage. It ends up being like 100 dollars less every 2 weeks then i was getting, due to less deductions less taxes. Hehe its cause i had a construction job, now its cold and they figure i wont be able to work till spring haha

I probably wont take the whole 9 months, but i was making like $22 a hour so I dont really wanna start back at $10..

Well its been 2 weeks..... still no roots, some of them are even starting to look dead :badday:

I'm hoping *PRAYING* that they root in the next week... I really dont know what i did wrong... I built the aero cloner as per specs off the thread, temps are running 76-77..
I used clone gel, even let them sit in it 30 seconds then they sat hanging with out the sprayers on in the cloner for a while as it got filled up.

I'm kinda really bummed about the whole thing, it means I don't have free smoke for another 5 months.. as I run out of my blue cheese that is looming ever nearer :(

I think I'm gonna go cry

i wouldnt give up on em just yet. i just tried cloning for the first time with alpha diesel. the two plants im least fond of rooted within a week but the two stinkier ones were soooo wilted and pathetic looking, and i left em just for the hell of it. I even let the rapid rooters dry way out and they ended up rooting anyways. just dont lose faith

Well if official, THe Alpha's are dead :badday:

Very bummed... not sure where I went wrong this time, well the aero cloner was oviously my mistake, maybe i should try a scrog till i get a hang of this cloning thing.

Well Im dirt broke at the moment, managed to snag some kripto beans in the last drop I still need to pay for.. once i pay for those and they roll in, we will try this once again. Again, very bummed :badday: I was really looking forward to smoking some nice sour diesel :(
