Cloning with no rooting hormone

[1lastGodsend]

So my "test plant" has gone through alot she's been low stress trained & she got bushy & her tops are getting new growth everyday. I decided to take some cuttings & I placed them in small pots with peat moss. The pots stay moist all the time. But I've noticed the cuttings are drooping a bit.

Will these cuts root????? I have them under two 23watt cfls. What measures should I take to ensure these cuttings root? Do keep in mind this is the first time I ever clone with no rooting hormone. Any advice shoot it at me.

u dont need hormones to clone.....it only helps....as long as u put a dome around them u should be good

patients, when rotting without hormone clones tend to take longer to develop roots. Try a humidity dome as well and a seedling heating mat. clones like it moist (not wet and soaking) and warm. Dropping is normal in the day or soafter you cut the clones, but then they perk up i've found.

Copy that there is no dome over them. Possible?

I'm gong to reduce the moister & maybe try a bigger bulb further away to raise the temps just a bit. I'm at a cnstant 70-75 all day.

of course its possible...
cake cover,clear big bottle,anything transparent

Yep. I'd say a dome is pretty much essential when cloning in soil-type mediums.

hmmm any ideas on a homemade dome? I've got bottles ohhhhhh how about a big 3liter soda bottle over the tiny peat moss pots?

if its big enough to cover
u only want it til it roots

coat hangers and saran wrap=custom built humidity dome in any shape

Ok so I put "domes" over them. Isn't the soda bottles. As for the moister level how do I work those variables out? Dome equals humidity so how much is too much water?

just air them out a couple times a day
and maybe spay them with a light b solution

that is genius. I'm horrible with seran wrap. It's just so sticky

 

[1lastGodsend]

I drilled a couple of holes over the top. Just enough to let a bit of heat out in case. But it still retains a good amount of humidity.

I have 5clones. 4of them are an indinca strain & I took 1last cuttng from a sativq that is viciously growing outdoors next to the avacado tree.

avacado tree mmmmmmmmmmmm

avacado tree mmmmmmmmmmmm

she's loaded. Every year she gives big plump avacados. I have to set up a catch net for them or else the dogs eat them off the floor. Delicious

awesome, enjoy!

thanks for all the input. I now am a proud owner of a clone dome that cost me no money.
