I'v heard that giving your clones a miled bloom nute farmula will help them root

Not magic. There is an explanation for this but I already said it like three times so you can go read that.

I don't care to read anything. I know how to clone and will continue doing it the same way I have successfully done it for years. No need for an explanation.

tap water and rockwool cubes. Ive been getting 99% success for years. I don't see how you can get much better than that and keep it stupid simple.

Lol I know. But I’m looking for the answer. I am out of what I normally use - a root excelurator and clonex rooting solution in RO. I’ve heard of a low dose of bloom being good due to the P and K. Not any helpful responses thus far.

I just use aloe cutting, leave stem jammed in there for a few then in the dirt she goes. I dont need an accelerator, need consistent success and aloe has all the 'triggers' a cutting needs

Well, like I said, there’s stuff in tap or well water. Not the case if using RO.

I use RO. If you wanna put something in your water try poolshock. It helps, but you can certainly clone with RO only.

This is not accurate. The plants still take in nutrients through the stomata. Hence being able to do foliar feeding. The clones need nutes to grow and develop properly. I do want to know how much bloom to use for rooting clones though!

Bro, you not listenin’. It’s ok though. There’s trace minerals and micros in tap water that are beneficial for plants. RO is not that way. Nice roots!

Bro, stop spreading bro-science. Bare snips do not need any nutrients. None.
The benefits from tap are purely antimicrobial. Growers use RO and calcium-hypochlorite for the same reason with similar results.

Rooted with tap water only
