Big Clones.....and air layers.....
- Thread starter Budley Doright
- Start date
I was looking in the mirror and I will be damned if I didnt see my nose grow right there. This is a flat out lie. The plant was only 3 feet tall and 30 inches wide.
9 days and i've got some pretty solid roots. there are plenty you can't see because of the plastic wrap and my shitty photography skills that have been there a couple days.
between being lazy and wanting to see what would happen i never wrapped any foil around the plugs. made keeping things wet a lot less of a pain in the ass and doesn't seem to have slowed anything down. i probably shoulda covered half so i could compare them ........ but i got high.
could the red plastic wrap filter the light and help the roots deal with it?
the stems aren't as rigid as they were and the plant seems to happy.
likin' this air layering !!!!

Very nice...... nothing like a bit of success to build some confidence.....
When I started the thread....I felt the key was getting the limb ringed properly....
I still do.....
The threads in the past did this process haphazardly at best......
be anal.... succeed......

I love the idea of air layering to keep my plant count at a minimum. Going to definitely give this a try. I could use a second HD mom anyway
What kind of rooting hormone are you using????

Thats what I use for my normal cloning....
But I like the results that my friend crane gets with Dip N Grow....
I have both now..... at some point Im going to try to compare the two rooting hormones....
The advantage may go to dip n grow..... it has both common rooting hormones...
iba.... Naa..... clonex doesnt contain Naa....

Another successful air layer from a chem cross I could not get to root using the old fashioned techniques. This one is a solid two footer with many laterals. Happy New year everyone
When ever I see an air layer like this.... I cant help seeing a caption at the bottom of the picture....
This is my one day old clone....
Here is my day old clone.
LOL... crane you funny guy....
But let me add some perspective to clones this large.....
If air layering failed and you had to kill a big hunk of plant like this.... it would be a pretty big loss....
I have in fact left a rooted air layer in tact with the mother and flowered it out.....
and it didnt seem to be any different than the rest of the plant.....
This needs a bit more attempts to be confident..... but if its true that you can either cut the clone.....or leave it to flower.... makes the proposition pretty safe from a gain vs loss perspective....You need only cut the clone if you can see its rooted.....

Ok you busted me. It has been less than a day. So let me restate that again.
Here is my less than day old clone.
Like some of you guys this is a two minute wonder. Sour Dubble air layer clone 2 minutes old.
39 inches tall from the floor.

Thats ok..... but....
what are you goig to do when you actually get good at air layering??

Serious question crane.....
You say 2 minutes old.... are you bagging this plant or did you let it get enough roots to sustain itself those first couple days post cut???

I found that I dont need to bag them. I root them out with a full root mass. Then I put them off where they are not getting intense light and let them go. Not sure if it helps them but my RH is 50 to 55%.
