Hornedfrog when you take clone dont use scizzors only use a razzor! Scizzors crush the stem and damage the clone

I'll take a pic of what a clone looks like out of my mothers. There is a hole that you could stick a toothpick in. For whatever reason some clones seal up on the bottom where the hole is, and other stay open and hold air. Then they rot because that's what air does. I'm going to try some rooting gel next time to see if that heals up the "wound" faster or something. I'm planning on making either 2x50 aero cloners, or 1x100. I am only getting around 70% success, so hopefully this will hold me over until I figure out wtf is going on.

another thing to consider is large clone like al b fuct style clone will tent to have hollow stems this is why I pull clones
That are on the lower portion of the plant! Small stemmed clones seem to clone faster

Right after taking each clone, put the tip inside the hormone for 10 secs. I have always used Clonex with good results. While it's soaking in the gel I trim the fans down to lower transpiration, then into the cube and dome they go. I even keep my dome on and wet while cloning so the ones I take at the start don't droop. I like to minimize stress on them as much as possible. O yea, each cloning session u use the gel put it in a separate container so there's no cross contamination in the original container. Not 100% experienced on the areo cloners and always disliked the fact they don't have humidity domes. Clones like 3 things...low light, high humidity, and not to be disturbed while they form super fragile feeder roots.

I hear the powders work better. Gels wash off quicker is the thought process behind it. I have no experience with either, think I read it on ABFaqt, just something to think about. Cheaper too.

Sorry about your last batch mate. With time comes knowledge and success!

Gels seal better, have more vitamins ect. a 20 dollar bottle of clonex will last for a good 200+ clones. And it depends what medium you use..for an areo cloner anything is going to get washed off. Maybe the special solution they make for the cloner would be of the most benefit?

I use clonex gel then stick it in powder then instead of pushing the stem in the rw cube or rappid rooter i pull open
The cube and place the stem in then allow the cube to seal around the stem!

Man I can't wait for these mofos to get flowering more. I'm really curious as to how big the colas will end up being. It's hard to visualize, or even remember where the buds grow out of haha.

If you're worried about embolisms with large clones make your final cut on your clone under water, I have some larger clones with the same hollow stem as you, and this technique has helped me.
