i tell people i get roots in 6 to 7 days and they don't believe me. i may be wrong. we will now find out.

my buddy is lagging on my cuttings for my next indoor run so i figured i'd just make my own. i do seem to have a few extra branches. i am worried about mildew and bugs so i sprayed them heavily with zero tolerance before bringing them inside. i am very nervous about the mildew. i have problems with it as it is, i really don't need to be starting with it. but i'm giving it a shot anyways.

mine root in 4 days..... i believe ya..
i find it has a lot to do with strain as well. i have F2 hijacks going. 1 plant shows indica traits, one shows sativa. the sativa cuttings root in a week. the indica ones take at least 2 weeks. same seed stock just different phenos. :blsmoke:

agree'd..... did take longer to clone some of my friends plants... also growing an indica strain. Took the clones 9 days to show roots :)

Gona try cloning my big bang & a.m.s as soon as they reach 20cm's.. :mrgreen:

i like to fill my bottom pan to the point where it just comes up into the bottom of my top tray. i don't want my plugs soaking in water. i use a heating pad so the water evaporates and keeps the plugs wet. i let the bottom tray completely dry out before refilling. it takes about 3 days. i like to let the plugs dry as well. once the plugs are almost dry i refill my tray. i seem to get the most root growth on the days that the plugs become dry. i just refilled my tray this morning. now i will let it dry out and once the plugs become dry i should start to see my first roots. :blsmoke:

Those are some studly clones to start. Do you have a standard height you use for the clnes? Is that a commercial cloning tray or did you make a DYI? I want to know when you send your Hijack clones to the club. I will send my son over to get some for me. He lives up where you are.

Sweet thread, and lovely cloning skills my man! Done like a true pro. Can you elaborate on your lil setup that your clones go in? Is it DIY, or someone else's design?

that's just a cloning tray i bought at the hydro store. i have a heating pad under it set at 80 degrees. the kit came with the trays the dome and the small floro that actually snaps to the inside of the dome. i have it inside a sliding drawer.
