Looking to see what y'all have found success with, I have a couple clones that are giving me fits.

The nodes are stretching out but they aren't setting any new vegetative growth. There may be one or two spots down low but I am hesitant to top them because the growth is so small.

They were transplanted yesterday, roots were very tight and spiraling. Cloning media was ~90/10 vermiculite/ewc so not mich nutrition. Fed some salts over the last couple weeks and a shot of aminos (N) before that.

Light is on 19/5, temps ~72F, humidity lol, uncontrolled very dry.

I intend to reverse these to help me with selection thinking about grabbing a bottle of florel now and giving them a shot.

Watching to see how you go but i think you arent far away, only thing I'd do is I'd strip all the balls back and spent flowers. You can see in second photo new growth coming in down the bottom. So you are on the right path. Sometimes it just takes a while. Like fruit tress and everything else in the botanical world remove excess to push plant in direction you are going. Ie fruit tress first few years of growth strip all fruit so it puts its energy in growing tree and not fruiting to get bigger trees and bigger crops. Same methodology should transfer across I would imagine.

Pick all the balls off.........top the male. Put the top in a cloner. Then wait for new growth on the plant and roots on the clone. The clone may look squirrelly for a bit. All this under 20 hour light.

Male or female, I take clones before they hit the bloom room and still not until I see baby feet first. Takes up a little more room in the end, but it’s a security feature I’ve come to really like and has been a saviour on a few occasions.
Saves having to reveg anything and doubles your chances of success. ( I don’t like playing odds)

If the plant doesn’t clone, I get info of it there too and truly have to decide if it’s going to be taking room in the grow.(but that’s another story)

Reveging I would do as mentioned above, the boys definitely pointed the right direction.?
As Willie pointed out about the squirrelly cut, it’s better to have a squirrelly cut than no cut, you can’t make something from nothing. (I can’t anyway, no one is lending me their magic wands, bunch of meanies…)..lol?

Try 24/0, and prune off the male parts. Get some humidity in there so they can transpire and pull up some nutrients.

Been going almost another week with not much change. I'll get down there after dinner tonight for pics and do some cleanup.

I'll probably go ahead and top/reclone at least one and bump the hours up. It's 60W of cobs 2ft above, humidity is getting better.

I like waiting 'til ~2 weeks post flip. Plant is kickin' it's own hormones to help it root and I avoid the decision point if it's a bad cloner. Generally I'll wait till sexing before flip and will grab interesting males while still in veg.

Pulled balls, topped and went to 24/0 for good measure, I'll drop back to 19/5 in a couple weeks.
