Cloning help...I suck at cloning. Help!

Well at least you no now mate....the only outher thing I would advise is putting your cloner either on a heat Matt or sit it on something that produces heat(keep it off a cold floor).......I have a small cloning cabinet with a 125w cfl in it and it provides a small amount of heat that imo helps root quicker..........have a look with this method I get 90% of roots in a week.......

cfb bulb portable s heater on wall behind the propagator,jobs a good en,KEEP IT SIMPLE DUDE,Your over complicating things, there really is no need Take a couple more than you need and keep the first to root these are the stronger clones,either sell the others to friends or give em away,or in my case i bin them.People know you clone people know you grow i only ever give clones to the group i grow with ,but most of the time they all ready have clones.We all run the same grow methods,so there normally at same stage has me or not far behind,its the way we have oil/hash all the time,these clones ae all heavy rooted through the first set of cubesjust waiting on them getting through next cube,then its coco time,there on 1.1 all ready .peace

I put the Clone-o-matic 9000 on some dri-core subflooring in the hope that, that would be enough to raise the temperature a bit, but I didn't even think to put the bin on the seedling mat that I have...just sitting there...doing nothing.

No time to type now...to the Bat Cave! The Bat Cave is actually just my basement.

Well, the Clone-o-matic 9000 is still only a cloner by name. I am going to empty the bin and add fresh water and earth worm castings (EWC).

EDIT: I did this and man, was it gross. There was slime in the pump, so I had to clean that out. After I had washed out the bin, rinsed it well and cleaned out the pump; I set about filling the bin and recutting the bottoms of the cuttings, re-applied rooting hormone and threw in a couple of my EWC balls. We'll see how that goes.

I'm also trying an experiment: I've taken four cuttings, put rooting hormone on them and put them in Rapid Rooter plugs. I then put the rapid rooters in potting mix filled beer cups, put the beer cups in a small cat grass try that I had and finally, I put bags over them. I was trying to think of a clever, cat related name for this Cutting And Transplanting method, but couldn't come up with anything. We'll see if it works any...OMG! WAIT A MINUTE!

CAT!

Cut And Transplant! That's good enough, I guess.

Anyway, they're sitting in the cloning closet and they look like this:


I also cleaned out the Aerogarden3 and re-cut the two Sour Kosher stems and transplanted the other. I ind of had to, it's roots were looking a bit rough. I put to plastic wrap around the outside of the Aerogarden and the new C99 cutting in it looks happy enough.

Yea smoker you have to keep a sharp eye on your pumps......especially if your adding supplements......they will clog your pumps and inevitably lead to failure......but your definitely getting the hang of it(keep the covers on them until they root then take them of to let them harden off).....keep us posted my friend.........
