Omfg i may have just perfected cloning!!!!

OK, I guess..... I'm not seeing any root growth. How about a nice macro shot up close and dirty? The pics you've shown don't support the claim.

sorry my camera sucks. I see root growth on about 90 percent of them in 24 hours. I didn't split the ends out like that I just slit down the middle and they opened themselves like that and white growth is forming in the split. They appear a little brown which is the clonex solution.

Well I'll try to get a better camera for next run and I want to update every day to show progress.

9 hours? Naaaaah. Splitting the stem does expose more natural rooting hormone and can give you more rooting sites, however it can also slow the process. Personally, growing perpetually, i don't WANT root growth that fast. I need the time to get the other girls flowered up and harvested, so i'll take a 10-14 day rooting period, followed by another couple weeks in 16oz cups before i ever get serious about vegging under HID. That buys me the time in the flower room to get things done, chopped and cleaned up for the next round.

Happy cloning!

The first shot does look like it could be a root popping out possibly. Its just hard to beleive. I have used those same products in both easy cloner and power cloner with many strains and never got roots faster then 3-4 days, usually it takes 6-7. could be some freak strain but it still doesnt really seem possible in 9 hours or even 24 hours.

He sliced stems in half...
correct-o-mundo...but i think that piece between the two halves is what he is talking about....kinda looks like crusty cloning gel in one picture and then looks like part of the stem in the other.

I consistently get roots in 5-7 days using rapid rooters, on multiple strains. I've been using them for over a year and I've tried getting them not to root! lol! J/K! They work great, simple, and can be used in soil or hydro and they are relatively cheap. The quickest I've ever seen roots popping out of the cubes was 4 days from taking cuts. I was blown away!:o

To the OP. Props on your success! :clap:

Hmmmmm....I Uh......well......hmmmmm.....uhhhhhhhh.....are you sure. I mean, if so, Bravo, hats off, good on ya, you're a stud, and all the rest. Did the cutting continue to root over the next few days? Like, what did it look like in 48 hrs? 72?

Those appear to be root hairs, but look awful funny.. Is that the only one showing any sign of roots?

I'm fully behind you bro, I'm just beating back the skepticism I'm feeling. I hope you are indeed on to something...

I'm not making any claims here! Im not advertising anything I was just amazed with my success when my first try was utter failure. But I also did alot more research this time around.

yup, you have roots for sure. thats crazy man, the only thing i do different is i dont add clonex solution to my water...roots in a couple days is very fast, my fastest was 6 days....looks like i'll be getting some clonex solution...

I have run the same set up for months and the quickest I have ever seen roots is a couple of days, and even then they are still nubsites where roots will be busting out. The clonex is just a real mild fert for seedlings and clones and works great for that, I really like the stuff.

What it does not do is speed up cellular resperation throughout the plant, which is what would be needed to fit the claim.
