Cannabis Clone Care Checklist | Ideal Temp, Humidity & Step-by-Step Guide

Cannabis Clone Care Checklist: Temperature, Humidity & Daily Steps

Day 0: Cutting & Setup

•  Select healthy, pest-free mother plant

•  Use sterile blade or scissors

•  Take cuttings 4–6" long with at least 2–3 nodes

•  Dip cut ends in rooting hormone

•  Insert into pre-moistened medium (e.g., rockwool, peat plug, coco)

Environmental Targets (Days 0–7)

•  Temperature: 75–80°F (24–27°C)

•  Root Zone Temp: 72–78°F

•  Humidity: 80–95% RH

•  Light: Low-intensity (T5/LED) — 18–24 hrs/day

•  Air Circulation: Gentle — no direct airflow on cuttings

•  Check for Mold/Disease: Daily

Transition (Days 6–10+)

•  Begin venting dome daily (15–60 min increasing over time)

•  Reduce humidity gradually to 65–70% RH

•  Watch for root bumps or white roots emerging

•  Water only if plugs start to feel light

•  Avoid over-misting — encourage root seeking

After Rooting (Days 10–14+)

•  Remove dome fully once roots are visible

•  Transplant into soil or final medium when roots are 1–2"

•  Begin light veg nutrients (¼ strength)

•  Shift light intensity up gradually

•  Acclimate to normal grow room RH/temp over 2–3 days
