clones in a hydroponics dwc grower..

is it possible to clone some lower branches off of my mother into my dwc system? what would be the best way of doing that? I have a 10l container holding about 5 gallons of water with fox farms organic nutrients. 4 3inch net pots, rockwool, and hydroton pebbles..

I personally would get the cuttings, cut the bases at a 45 degree angle, gently scrape the outer layer of green off about the last half or quarter inch of the base of the cutting and simply place them in a cup with 3/4 inches of water in it. place the cup in indirect light for a couple days and i guaratee u will get root formation as long as you change the water out once a day! ur prolly have roots forming within 3 or 4 days, then add a drop of veg nutes to the solution and let go for another day, they will grow, after a day or 2 you can place ur cutting directly into the hydroton and grow it out dude. Its the most simple way i have found. heres a pic of some clones done exactly how u are trying to do it!

thanks bro.. you have any pics of them in process?

no but i am currently putting together a step by step picture tutrial on how to do this. other people here have posted this same thing tho. search around. what do u need the pics for? i will try and clear things up if i can.

because mine are wilting really bad..

im not in ur grow room and dont know exactly what you did, but im going to guess that by getting worried like you are now that you put them thru some stress a lil. give them a couple days. i think they are going to bounce back. when u say wilting, ur leaves are just sagging right?

Issue #71 of Cannabis Culture has a GREAT walk through on cloning using RockWool by Vancouver Island Seed Co.

Yes. That is exactly what I did and they are doing great. 6 for 6. My only mistake was filling the container too full. I did some more research and learned you should leave a couple inches of air space between the bottom of the pot and the water surface.
