Cloning

[pthobson]

Hormex powder. Razor blade. 1 inch rookwool.
Soak rookwool with 5.7 ph water or very light chem, drain it. Cut the bottom of the clone at an angle and dip in water then dip in Hormex then place in rookwool. Dont touch it for a week then water light if it needs it. Should get roots 7-10 days. Weak light. Your humidity is fine.

Thanks!

… Domes lead to damping off where the stem just rots below the soil surface ...

And I have had no success if I don't dome the cuttings for the first 7 days. I have had stem rot when I used the heat mat 24/7 - just a bit too hot inside. Now it's on for 1 hour and off for 2 which keeps the temps perfect for the cooler area that I do my cloning.

... the Mykos or Great White is really important.

Had a bit of an issue with rockwool last time so I am going to try to clone in straight Pro-Mix HP … is the mycorrizhal fungus in Pro Mix enough or would a bit of Great White still help?​

Damn nice

Thank you … I do like the Blue Cheese strain (left picture) from Barney's Farm. Very enjoyable and long lasting hum from a full pipe.

The growers here at the legal level swear by Great White for this. That’s actually how I started using it. But Mykos is cheaper and still good.

IMHO, Aero is the easiest, most reliable .
"Clone King" has worked well for me the last 5-6 yrs, same unit.

Tap water, t5's, no dome or misting, 14 days......

how do you go from them blue plugs to a net pot then in to your hydro system . do you just stick the plant in a net pot and fill with clay balls and wait for the roots to grow out the net pot in to your res

I go to a soilless medium.

oh fair enough. ive been considering one of them for a while but i dont use medium so i guess you cant transfer clones grow like that in to a dwc bucket. im not a fan of rockwool

I don't see why you couldn't transfer into a netpot or the like.

well i have tried t once in the past with out rockwool and it failed. i haven't revisited the idea since

Thanks bob!

Clone king with 8.6 ph tap water under a t8. I dip in clonex but not even sure that is necessary. Rooted in 14 days usually. Sometimes quicker on the smaller cuts.

I don't do any temp control, depends on my local weather, usually have a nice ocean breeze
