How I Clone

[fureelz]

Many different methods to cloning, here is how I do it:

These babies might be a little early, but I know they will be fine and grow another 2-3" before they find a new home.

So First picture is them on the mother, she is in 24/7 and I will move her soon. I also take clones from plants in 18/6 with the same results.

Second picture is of the tools needed to perform this operation...
Third is the measuring glass with 1 drop of Botanicare Power clone gel in it and a bit of water. Don't forget to poke the rockwool a bit with a pencil or sissors.

So clean your surface unlike me, lol.. I will then shave them down and slice little cuts around the exposed stem. I find this to be a crucial step..

Put a drop of clone gel on them and in the wet rockwool they go. see Pictures six and seven.

Then they go in the dome, where they will sit 24/7 @ 84*F with 65%H for a week. Opening the top once a day for an hour or so. I seem to have 100% success with this method and it only took me 2 years to figure out. Comments welcome.

what if your clone scheduled light is 18/6?

 

[aknight3]

it would work but itll take longer, just do 24 7

id rather it take 2 weeks-3 weeks but its only been in there for 3 days and its growing.

yes your right many ways.my ? is i see you are not cutting any nodes to dip in the rooting compound. myselfi found 18/6 lighting was better for me.

 

[fureelz]

Cutting nodes to dip into the rooting compound? Whats that mean?

 

[fureelz]

If a clone is larger which are the 18/6'ers I will trim the fan leaves a bit to focus more root growth. I just went to check on them and they are standing straight now. Pics in the morning. Roots in 24 hours.

Update:
Here are two more done today and the ones from yesterday have adjusted just fine. And I wanted to say that in the dome, the humidity gets to 98-99% and 65% when open. I had no idea it went that high, but they are doing excellent.

cut the shit of the stem 3 nodes from the bottom and did. this is the way i do. maybe thats how i get those branched out clones.

She looks old, how old? Those little shoots will become veg pretty big, but how much longer does it take? That was taken from a mom in 18/6? whats she look like?

Anyone else use the rockwool then go hydro? Im about to prepare some with the hydroton and baskets! first time with hydro in over 5 years. Only going to try two, rest go to patients.. Pics soon!

the only thing I do diff more or less is 18/6 light. here is a link to compare https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/175263-how-clone-your-plant.html and this was the first time I tried. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/83765-my-first-clone.html look at post #8 and watch the videos (5 min each).

What I think is funny is that you're using rockwool over rapid rooters. LOL.

 

[fureelz]

Well I wanted to have a medium that my patients could put in either hydro or soil...right? Do you put those brown foam like things in hydro? I guess you could...?!

ya i did the 18/6this last cloneing run and they seemed to do better with the 18/6 vers 24/0

You can definitely put rapid rooters in hydro... They are very handy, and I find that they root better than RW, not to mention feel better on the skin than RW.

 

[fureelz]

well what a scam....I thought I needed these RW cubes! well its all good I've found its easier to regulate moisture in the RW, and roots a lot faster. I'll use the rapid rooters for personal use only.
