hi guys,i was given 4 cuttings last night im lead to belive their Bedfordshire Cheese? i cant find any info via google on them :( is it a made up strain?
i asked what ph water theyd been given to be told "tap ph" which meant straight from the tap not even sitting for 24hrs!,at that point i decided asking for EC reading was pointless lol.
they told me theyd been taken during flower but i think it was WAY to far into flowering!,they look to me like their still trying to flower?
well here they are in their sorry state(well 2)

They'll be fine mate. If they already have roots all you need to do is keep them warm and moist for the next couple of days, when the roots get a bit bigger, transfer them in to whatever medium you plan to grow them in. 18/6 lighting would be ideal. As they've been taken from a flowering mother they will re-veg for a while and chuck out some odd shaped leaves but this shouldn't last long, the main thing is they've rooted. :)

Yeah, the hardest part - getting them to root - is done, just give them the TLC they need and it will be fine. They will take a while of 18/6 to do anything, (I have taken cuts at harvest time!!), as they need to re-veg. So - STOP BITCHING AND ENJOY :)

The hardest part is the rooting - you get a couple of roots and all good. I didn't notice any difference in the rooting capabilities - what I did notice was it took the flowering clone a lot longer to look like it was going somewhere.

nice one we have roots then - i dont think 4wks is unheard of if he hadnt used any rootstim? not 100% sure on that but i took 3 cuttings about 2/3 wks ago and the nice chap i gave them to tells me we have roots on one - 3wks after being taken with no stim whatsoever.

btw what a lovely looking wolf you have - i hope hes a friendly doggy lol
