Thanks everyone, how about showing your backyard pics, skyscrapers, beach, bush or whatever. Try not to identify yourself though. Could be another thread?
has to reveg & make r00ts... may take few moments...Some of you may recall the above little cloning experiment with a leaf and associated flowerlet. Well, after 2 weeks, what has happened?
NOTHING
Not exactly nothing, the leaf is yellowing however the stem appears to be swelling. I'll keep it going a bit longer.
Its been about 20 days since the leaf clone experiment began, today, SUCCESS.
IT'S THROWING OUT ROOTS
NEW ROOTS DEVELOPING AT BASE OF LEAF STEM
Interesting, what does it all mean though? This was a leaf off a plant about 7 weeks into flower just prior to harvest. It was cloned in plain old tap water. Cloning a leaf, of all things, so long into flower, this is crazy.
Not sure what I will do with it now. Might just put it into a pot with potting mix and see what happens. Can it develop into a normal plant? Or will it turn into some sort of mutant?
it is always a pleasure to come and look at the updates in this thread high country, would love to see you drop some of these out side
Nice one HC, A leaf clone, who would of thought.
This is mind boggling!! You are in possession of something VERY rare here. Please continue this. I also wanted to let you know my flood and drain has moved along nicely and thank you for continuing this project!!! I let my plants get a bit tall on me prior to flowering but I'm going to snatch their tops for clones .
Mind boggling alright, this strange little thing will probably do my head in. I've seen those plants of yours and they did get a little bit big but they will be fine. Like you say top them for clones. I take clones off plants at 2 weeks into 12/12 no problems. But why the fuck does a leaf put out roots? Luckily I'm on my weekend at the moment even though it is i the middle of the week. Might have to do a little bit of research.
hey high country hope you're well mate just wanted to post some pics of the clones i took after i was inspired by your spag moss cloning write up! many thanks again for that. very simple easy to set up and work! i sprayed once every 2 days and left the lid on the entire time as they dried out a bit too much in the tent with the 400watt when taking the dome off. it's been about 2 weeks now and 50% have rooted well i think. i'll give them another week!
Nice one Darwin, I would trim those fan leaves a bit more next time then you probably wouldn't have to mist as much and rely on the dome. Trimming those leaves reduces transpiration. See some of Freezerboys threads, he really cuts those fan leaves down when cloning.
I would also be reluctant to pot them under 400W until the root system is pretty well developed. Did you use bottom heat of some kind, heat mat or my warm water method?
Give them 3 weeks then I would chuck out the ones not co-operating. I need at least 75% or more of the clones to put out roots for SOG grows.
You my friend have a very cool grow setup and beautiful little plants.
