+rep for you, thanks for laying it down in simple terms. My next cloning session will try your method out.Sure why not it's hot as fuck outside anyways lol
So here is what you will need
-promix
-brand new single edged razors
-sissors
-plastic see thru cups with holes in the bottom
-some kind of rooting solution
-rooting powder
-cup with plain water in it
-black sharpie per marker
-spray bottle
1. Lay out everything your gonna need so it's right in front of you with easy access
2. Get the plant you wanna clone ready by feeding a decent about of food before hand
3. Fill plastic cups with promix, leave about an inch at the top of the cup free
4. Now firmly pack down promix (but not to the point of crushing the cup)
5. Take sharpie marker and push it down in the middle of the soil until it goes 1 1/2-2 inches deep turning it as you push down and pull back out to keep your whole from filling back up with dirt
6. Now cut the branch of the part of the plant you wanna clone so that the cutting is 4-6 inches long
7. Next clip all bottom leaves and branches off so the bottom 3-4 inches is just stem
8. Lay your cutting on something flat and make a CLEAN cut. Cut about a 1/10 of an inch off just so you have a clean cut stem that isn't crushed
9. Now gently use your razor to lightly cut the very outter skin off the bottom inch of the stem. ( like you were cleaning a carrot)
10. Dip the stem in your water and then dip it into rooting powder so theres a pretty decent amount of powder on there.
11. Now put the stem into the hole in the promix and when you feel the stem hit the bottom of the hole push stem down just a tad more (for support)
12. Tap the sides of the cup so that the soil fills in the rest of the hole
13. Pack down promix (especially around stem), pack it down pretty firmly but not to the point of crushing the cup
14. Take your Cloning solution thats added to your water in your spray bottle and water gently until water is dripping out the bottom of the cup.
15. Put under florescent light and leave them be, check everyday and remember not to overwater.
DON'T REWATER UNTIL THE SOIL HAS ALMOST DRIED UP
You can cut the tips off the leaves if you choose too, I have tried it both ways and both ways work. I think cutting the ends off helps the cutting transpire water better.
I have a new strain of green house ww and this plant is amazing Roots in 4 days flat.
If I misspelled anything or shit sounds fucked up, it's cause I just smoked one and im really high trying to type this
Sorry to the OP, but this may also help you out. Let us know how your clones are doing and what method you have switched to.
regards,
