Remove the clear plastic dome from the cloning tray and spray the clones and inside of the dome with water. Place the dome back on the tray when done. It is best if you spray the clones in this way at least 2 times per day. Spraying a clone with water dilutes the nutrients in the leaves.

How often should you water clones?

How far should lights be from clones?

The LED grow light distance above the clones differs from the height required for seedlings. With clones, they will need intense light to begin. Depending on the power of the light and maturity of the plants, this could vary quite a bit between 14-36 inches from the top of the plant canopy.

Can you over water clones?

Can You Over Water Clones? Keeping media too wet is common among growers.It is important to have high humidity and moist material when cloning, otherwise it will not work.As a result of water-dropping in the media, stems may rot down in landfills.

How do I know if my clones are healthy?

A strong, well-established clone should show visible signs of growth such as sturdy leaves and new growth at the nodes. The new leaves will be a bright green color but may get darker as the leaves mature.

What do you feed rooted clones?

Plan for a safe, healthy transfer to your Home Grow: have some sort of box or packaging to keep your clones safe during transport.

How long do you keep Dome on clones?

After about 9-12 days of the gradual drying out of the atmosphere, the plant cuttings shouldn't need the dome at all. Throughout the entire time that you're rooting the cuttings, you have to maintain consistent moisture in the starter plugs. They should never completely dry out.

What color light is best for clones?

The best lights for growing cannabis clones are heavy in the blue light spectra. That's because blue light gives plants vital energy that is transferred into root growth.

Do clones need air flow?

You need air circulation to build humidity. Most customers will cut a hole in the top of the 6 & 3 inch domes, the 7 inch dome has vents built in.

What temperature do clones need?

Clones prefer temperatures between 75 and 85°F, with the ideal temperature around 78°F. A seedling heat mat may be the best tool to use to keep clones at a consistent temperature.

Can LED grow lights burn plants?

Light, even intense light, probably won't burn your plants. If a plant is getting too much light, it can challenge your crops and be counterproductive, but it won't actually cause burning.

Should grow lights be left on 24 hours a day?

A: In general, you should not leave grow lights on 24/7. Plants need a light-dark cycle to develop properly. It's believed that they truly do “rest” during periods of darkness, and probably use this time to move nutrients into their extremities while taking a break from growing.

How do you know if your plant is getting too much light?

Plants exhibit several signs when they're getting too much light. The most apparent sign is leaf burning. This typically causes the yellowing of leaves at the top of the plant but the veins stay green, and the leaves take on a yellow or brown, burnt look.

Should clones be watered everyday?

Water frequently for one week.

For the first week after transplanting your clone will not yet have grown a strong root system. It is critical that you make sure that the original rockwool cube remains moist. In some cases, the media surrounding the cube may be wet, but the rockwool will be dry.

Should I Feed My clones?

Freshly cut clones have no roots with which to take up nutrients, so feeding is not required until the first young roots have formed and then nutrients should be first applied at quarter strength, increasing to half vegetative strength as the clones become more developed.

What do you spray clones with?

Clonex Mist is a ready-to-use foliar spray for mother plants (shortly before taking cuttings) and clones to stimulate root development. Available in three convenient sizes including a 750ml bottle.

What humidity should clones be at?

For clones to properly root and survive, we need to create a low VPD environment that will protect them from high transpiration rates. Temperatures in a cloning environment should be between 70-78F with relative humidity between 75-90%.
