Hey Farmer I pretty much cut them from the mum and leave them in a bucket with rhizotonic for 10 mins to an hour, depends what I'm up to. then sit them in the actual gel container after you trim and shave and or split or whatever and leave them there for a few minutes while I cut the next batch off the mum and put them in the bucket. After that they go straight into the aerocloner nowadays, so most of the gel is rinsed of in the next half hour but i think enough soaks in to soften it and start absorbing the rhizo. In summer some of my strains are fully rooted in 4-5 days, up to ten in winter but near 100% strike rate. I used to do the same thing up to the point where instead of the aerocloner I put them into presoaked rockwool cubes and into the little clone box wit an inch of moist perlite in the bottom, misting 2-6 times a day and similar strike rate. I fucken love that cloner. you can put in 40 cuts and ignore until you plant them a week or 2 later!
