cheers for advice, gonna take some cuts later...I got the clone powder and also just bought some clonex gel, Any advice on which has best success rate?.. Ive always used the powder with good results but been told that the pineapple is a bastard to clone.
i used to use root it also clonex but now i use the wilko's powder it does seem totake a bit longer but u can take cuts without anything added mate clonex was prob the best for me but all work

Yeh im on that wilkos rooting powder normally root in 2 weeks in the normal sized jiffys, I ordered 200 jiffys off ebay and theyre tiny half the size of normal ones but my cuts have rooted in a week, I did have t keep spraying the pellets every other day tho to stop em from drying out

I bought some cheap powder from local garden centre( the brand is Doff) and the last 3 attempts have been v.good, just never tried cloning from this pineapple strain, might try taking some with powder and some with gel to see if it makes any difference

Fuck all those expensive root gels and powders. I used em all before and now I don't use anything, Take the cut from the plant and straight into a jiffy pellet leave it in the prop And I usually get roots within 7-10 days and I've had a 100% success rate over a 2 year period like that. I'll never waste money buying clonex or anything like it again.

I think we've scraped the last we can get out of summer here. How's the UK? Moved my outdoor into the greenhouse. Couple of fans pointing on it and a dehumidifier....might as well be growing indoors with a 50w incandescent with the weather at the minute.
Summer is gone here too mate It's been pissing down with rain the last cpl days. Still warm enough tho in the high teens but dull and wet !

Thats the problem, it's still a bit warm here, and soggy like a professional ladies gusset that plies her trade out of small red lit windows.....I am on mould patrol with my plemon outdoor and constantly have the song from the TV show my son watches in my head...FUKKIN PAW PATROL! except it's Mould Patrol......aaaaaagggghhhh. Think I'll chop her soonish anyway.

You noticed much difference between the different coco plugs? Only ask as cheap ones off ebay/amazon etc seem to root my stuff in 7-11 days, the expensive proper Jiffy ones seem to be taking well over 2 weeks n still nothing showing, same strain/room etc, only thing thats changed is the coco plugs lol

I've only ever used soil jiffy pellets mate I buy em on eBay for £15 for 100 pellets. Always get roots within a week to 10 days. Sometimes maybe 2 weeks but that depends on other factors like my environment at the time.

@TheHulk11 did u say you topped the pp early into veg to get the 4 mail coals
Yeah mate I topped her early on for 4 tops, As soon as u have 2 or 3 node sets just top her. Keep the 4 sturdiest branches and take the rest off ! She didn't throw many side branches out for me after topping it just filled up with bud all the way up the 4 stems. I ended up with 4 big buds off each plant and they were all about the size of a 2ltr bottle each.

mate im lazy but im going to now tell u how i get 100 percent success rate and when i first started i couldnt get anythin to root i use the jiffys that u put in water and expand make sure to get the soil and not cocoa ok so i soak them when
Got a link to em? only thought to look at coco ones, didnt think of soil ones lol
i use soil i got told if u use cocoa u need to ph the water before soaking but here is my 100 percent success rate method with clones i think people really over do the process i soak the pellets in normal tap water when swole up i squeeze out alot of water but leave them damp take cut dip in wilkos powder and into jiffy i put plug in propergator with seals closed sprey just the lid and leave in darkness for 12 hours then i put 120 clones under 2 x 125 w cfl in clone tent now i do nothing for at least 7 - 10 days no spreying or even opening propergator now after 7-10 days i cant always see roots coming out sides of plugs but bu feeling the stem i can tell if the clone has taken if the plugs still look a bit damp i will sprey the lid again i never sprey the plants just the lid as spreying the plants stops the roots from going looking for water if the plugs are really dry then i will feed with weak veg and root stimulator only just a tiny feed to get plugs damp but i only had to do this couple times and i think its when temps are a bit too high so if at 10 days i cant see roots lid gets spreyed and closed back up and in another 4-5 days every one has roots thats the wilko's method wen used clonex they def root faster

the soil plugs are 10p each lol canny go wrong but also they come in dif thickness and if plugs are thin ones u will see roots up to 7 days earlier once all clones have roots showing they go straight into there final pots and into the room where the magic happens
