whats the simplest most effective method for cloning is it possable 2 male a cloner using my little airpump and a bottle or somthing im just curios cuse im not gunna buy somthing i can make and it be just as good
This is the "too cheap to buy another gadget for growing weed"® method that I use:
A clean scalpel blade works best for the cut so you dont crush the lil tubes in the stem or pass on dirty shit (dont use the manky scissors you scrape your cone piece out with or your pube trimmers). Choose a lower branch with a node or 2 (you can top a plant and use that as a clone too but it takes a bit longer), give the bottom a scrape around the sides and a diagonal cut (more surface area than a straight cut) and stick it in a jiffy pot or a mild and airy soil mix. You'll up your success-rate by using cloning gel or powder but can also use aloe vera, willow water or nothing at all.
Clones dont need a lot of light. The window sill works well or just putting them in the corner of the tent can do the job too. Give the leaves a trim - I just cut the pointy bits of the leaf about half way down to stop it from pulling more light than it can handle and from needing more nutrients from the roots it doesnt have and you'll be surprised how many take. It can take a while to spit out roots but you'll know if its dead - if after a few days to a week it isnt all wilted and completely fucked just be patient and eventually it will start growing.
Once planted, keep the soil just a little damp - dont saturate it - a sprayer to mist the leaves every so often and also for watering (to ensure it never gets drenched) is a big help here. If you arent ready to plant at the time of making a cut put it in a glass of water until you have its new home ready. once planted dont let the soil dry out and keep humidity up - a greenhouse-like contraption will help here if you dont have control of the environment - even a plastic bag will work, just ensure it doesnt touch the leaves. you can even root cuttings by putting them straight in a glass of water without bothering with any of the above but taking some care will bring more success.
I'm sure an aero-cloner is quicker and probably more fail-safe but you dont need to buy anything special to clone if you dont want to. just take a couple more cuttings to ensure you have enough even if you lose a few.
thats a pretty good rundown. where do I send the invoice?
