you can use rockwool cubes, soil, jiffy pellets, whatever you want really...you can transfer rockwool cubes over into soil as well...
Just make sure you follow regular cloning techniques like cutting a fresh 60 degree angle cut, scrape the sides a bit, dip in rooting hormone, etc

well if you use good rich soil to begin with(with added perlite for drainage), you don't need to use much for nutrients...the biggest thing is making sure its limed properly to keep the PH in check(also adds the needed calcium and magnesium you need)...I just use cheap 10-10-10 water soluble granules, and 2-7-7 + micronutrients cactus food
brilliant thank you !you can use rockwool cubes, soil, jiffy pellets, whatever you want really...you can transfer rockwool cubes over into soil as well...

- if in soil is it then better to use powder than fluid like clonex etc.?

they both work the same...they have the same hormone in them...when you use a powder you dip the cutting in water then roll it in the powder...if using a gel you just roll it in the gel
thats good. my budget is non excistent so thats sounds perfectwell if you use good rich soil to begin with(with added perlite for drainage), you don't need to use much for nutrients...the biggest thing is making sure its limed properly to keep the PH in check(also adds the needed calcium and magnesium you need)...I just use cheap 10-10-10 water soluble granules, and 2-7-7 + micronutrients cactus food
so in theory i could clone already to determind sex?some of the biggest things about cloning is keeping the root area at around 80F(using a heating pad), or you'll have issues with them making roots. Also the earlier in veg you take the clones the quicker the will make new roots
althoug my stem i still quite fragile?

As long as it has at least an 1/8th in diameter it will be fine to clone
Just lollipop the bottom a bit and use those lower branches for your clones tanks you've been very helpfullAs long as it has at least an 1/8th in diameter it will be fine to clone
will definetly look into it. but im from a small european country. so not all products are that easy to get hereI know you said your budget is lacking, but when you get some funds, look into Subcool's Super Soil. You can find sticky's on it in the Organics section. THAT is the best soil you could possibly use. Sweet, smooth smoking weed...organic, it's the best way IMO.
