peat pellets

ok so i have these peat pellets and im wondering if they would be good to start clones in on the package its says for seeds and ckones but i doubt they are talkin about ganja lol

but if anyone has used them did you have good resaults

i think everyone tries them at some point. Youll probly use them till they piss you off.
I dont like the plastic mesh that comes on them. seems like roots have a hard time poking through sometimes. I dont know, but I seem to get more stunted ones using those things...

well as long as they work thats less i gotta spend so thats jgood
is there ne thing i shiuld add to the pellets when i put the clones in or before i put clones in them

yeah rooting hormone...just be careful as unohu69 said about the mesh around them holding in roots...sometimes the roots don't like to poke through so they get choked off...after I get some roots going I cut away the mesh and repot it into a small container to continue its rooting

I used to get clones in them, I found that yeah, you gotta cut the mesh of the bottom. at least tear it open, its folded like wrapping paper. but when I do my own i use a generic cow pot, promix/perlite. im still iin search of the perfect method. I really like bubble cloners, and I like that guys mist maker cloner. if youve seen it you know what i mean.
i am in the process of a clone off (see my journal) so far there is no difference between, clonex, aloe, and nothing.

oyes i kno when i started the bagseed im growin now i cut the mesh away i didnt like it from the go soi kno someone who uses schworts take root its a powder but would that work

You mean Shultz take root? That's what I use

you guys get weird peat pucks, the ones around here are in a nylon mesh and after so long, the mesh just disintegrates
peatpucks work great if you know how to use em!

im guessin lol i onky kno the name cuz a buddy of mine sothat prolly ishow u spell it i was jus goin off sound

well oakley thats why i posted this thread is so that people coukd give there advice on how to get great resaults from the pellets so i can kno what to dowhen it comes time to clone my agirls

soak, wait to expand, cut clone at 22deg (very sharp angle so its a very pointy) this increases the cambium exposed, i give the stalk a lil scrape personally to remove the outer layer of stem... without knowing how far to go, this will cause more damage than good. Dip in water, dip in cloning powder, dip in cloning gel (yes i use both) put in peat puck, squeeze tight around clone, put puck back in pool of water you squeezed out of it to absorb it back up. put in tray with humidity dome and a seedling mat underneath. keep the temps in the area of 75-85 itll root faster. wait 5-10 days.

That's what they are suppose to do, but how fast it disintegrates depends on how moist it stays

Peat pellets work just fine

I put all my clones in peat pellets

Here is a small blue mystic cutting i took and it took root just fine

I used rootech cloning gel for it , i also have powder and its just as good

which is why i cant understand why ppl are saying their peatpucks have plastic mesh lol

thanks for the advice
well this means i can save money to put toward new light because i have a dome nand heatmat and the take root is a lot cheaper than buying a cloner

*shrug* I know its not plastic...I didn't pay attention when dude said "plastic"

find what works for you.i use beer cups with pro-mix bx. been gettin round 90%, kinda cool temps.

goten clones look good
well again thank you everyone and after the new year cimes and i start my new batch of girl ill post up a journal and keep everyone informed a

and im glad ppl have god resaults with them cuz it saves me money in the long run

my best advice with peat pucks, when you first start out, cut way more clones than you need expect a 50% failure rate until you get "good" at taking clones!
this is the main reason most people get discouraged with peatpucks and say they are crap, because they dont have 100% success instantly

well in my opinion
even if you got an spend a buncch of money on a fancy cloner that does everything for you you wont have 100% at first so why go spend a ton of cash on a clonerwhen you can buy cheap stuff that does the same thing alsio im my opinion buying all this fanycy equiptment like cloners - hydroponic - aerioponics - it takes all the fun manual labor out of growing think about back in the day when they didnt have all this shyt ppl use now like when benjermin franklin had the first everpot farm they pl*nted 5 acrea offarmland with cannabis and waterd it by hand and when it came time to harvest they was more than happy to cut i diwb with some ragidy long knife that orolly barly cut nething

Well you can build a cloner for probly around 30-40$ less if you have some stuff kikn around. And I enjoy DIY stuff. so theres nothing lost there.

everyone has different success and failure rates at every method they try. I dont expect a 100% success rate outta clones. but im probly at 80% easy enough.

Im not sure how your spossed to get "good" at cloning, its not rocket science, cut, dip, stick. how hard is that? people biggest problem is they expect roots in 3 days, sometimes it takes longer, depends on what part of the plant you cut, how "woody" said stalk is, overall health of the plant etc, etc. etc....

just show a little patience, clones arent going to show the growth that a plant will. Tho my last couple i put in a bubble cloner never missed a beat, always perky, looking towards the light, remained green the whole time, and now they are great plants.....





* I have NO fancy equipment. The only Tech I have is a cheap Milwaukee Ph meter, probly $20. a friend gave it to me.
2 air pumps, one for my coffee can DWC (one of the previous bubble cloner clones is in now), and 1 bubbles my water (bad chlorine in our tap water here).
