Should you mist clones?
Clones are much younger than your older plants and are more susceptible to bacteria. You shouldn’t need to spray your clones with water, but if you feel more comfortable doing so, don’t overwater. Spray just enough, once every three days to keep the humidity.
How often should I water clones?
Watering Water thoroughly. It’s important to give your plants a deep watering right after transplanting. Water frequently for one week. For the first week after transplanting your clone will not yet have grown a strong root system. Look for drainage. Keep Your Irrigation Water Cool.
Can wilted cuttings be saved?
Once the stem loses contact with the roots, it starts a rapid process of wilting, so cuttings should be taken in the morning or evening, but never in midday sun. If possible, you should either plunge the cuttings straight into cool water or put them in a clear plastic bag, sealed shut to retain humidity.
How much humidity do clones need?
Temperatures in a cloning environment should be between 70-78F with relative humidity between 75-90%. Clones can be taken at just about any stage of a plants development – even during flowering (see Monster Cropping). Ideally a clone is taken from a plant during the vegetative stage of growth.
How long do clones need humidity?
Generally, you need to leave clones for about a week at least before you can check whether they’ve started to root. You can do this by removing the humidity dome and leaving it off for a while, usually around 20 minutes to 2 hours.
Why is my plant dying even though I’m watering it?
Plants die because of improper watering techniques. Overwatering: Overwatering is one of the leading causes of death for houseplants.

Does sugar water help dying plants?
Nutrients in the sugar help plants build back their own energy, and just a spoonful of sugar in the watering can may even help save the life of a dying plant.

Do clones need food?
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 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.
How do you take care of new clones?
Keep your clone under at least 18 hours/day of light. Even a florescent light produces enough light for photosynthesis at this stage. You do not want to “flip” your clone to flower (12 hours of light/12 hours of darkness) until it is fully grown. Even very young cannabis plants are sensitive to changes in photoperiod.
