Soak 1 x1 rockwool cubes in 5.5 ph water. Use lemon juice to lower.
Cut stem with at least 3 nodes, at 45 degree angle with super sharp blade.
Place directly in water.
Take all cuttings.
Now scrape outside of stem that will be in medium. (soil)
Remove half all old leaves but leave the new growth alone.
Dip scraped stem in rooting hormone gel or powder. (Powder)
Insert stem beside hole in rockwool all the way to the bottom. (Provided hole drains)
Place cube with cutting on bed of perlite in a closed dome under 20 hours of light x day.
After 5 days crack the dome so very little air can enter.
In 7-12 days you will have healthy rooted clones.
These can be placed directly into soil.
FYI This was my first attempt at cloning and was 10 for 10. Lucky yes. But I did my research and am happy you guys know what your doing !! Thanks!

). Those solo cup domes stood my clones right back up in a day and a half. I probably did not need them but, I left them on until I saw my first root and then took them off...they never re-drooped although due to a different mistake I thought I had messed them up so I made 8 more cuttings with the Rootone but..no dropping and thus no dome, and also no nutes. I did use a little different soil mixture though 2/3 basic K-mart dirt, 1 part manure. All eight of those hit the ground running and never had an issue. I read about the stem splitting here and will probably try that for grow 3. In any case, I too would be hardpressed to buy or build some fancy cloning device when this is so simple, cheap, and effective. As mentioned I had to top my newest plants as they were too far ahead of schedule...just for fun I have cut and scraped one of the toppings instead of tossing it and just threw it in water...like my wife does her African Violets...will see how that works out.
