hey guys sorry for bugging again but i have a question on the cloning process. i came across this Growth Technology Clonex Rooting Gel thats seems awesome but ive been wrong as fuck before. i have some white widow that once they get nice and big i want to clone them. i cloned once and it didnt work out for me and i assuming its because i didnt do this part right. what week of veg would you guys recommend to start a clone also if this Growth Technology Clonex Rooting Gel stuff will do the trick. im open to suggestions it doesnt have to be this product. im using fax farm happy frog or some shit like that. the clone will be grown in this inside a 5 gal pot under 400w HPS and 2 150w CFLs clamped on the rim of the pot to cover those areas that get no light (which i dont think is necessary but a little extra watts never hurt nobody).

My guess is that it was not the cloning gel that was the problem... You can pull clones anytime in veg really. If the growth is there, I think you can use it...

My "simple" method. I am not an expert, but I cut 7-8 to eight at a time and at most one dies. So I must be doing something right:
1.) Solo Cups with holes cut at bottom
2.) Soil - MG Seed Starter with 30-40% PLAIN (not MG with nutes) Perlite added in. Make it moist, not wet, with PH 6.5 water
3.) Put a little plain perlite at the bottom of the cups (in addition to what is in the soil, I find it helps get it to come out of the cup when I transplant), then fill 1/2-2/3 full with soil. Put a hole in the center with a pencil or something (sanitize it to be safe)
4.) Clean off your scissor, razor blade, cutting surface, etc with ISO
5.) Take your cuttings with a straight cut. Cut one and immediately put the stem in water. Repeat for as many as you are doing.
6.) One at a time, take cutting out of the water, cut off any extra foliage, slice the stem with as much angle as possible (maximize surface area of cut), dip well in rooting gel, place in hole in soil, lightly pack. Repeat for all clones
7.) Pour a SMALL amount of water (1-2 oz) on each to get the cutting firmly into the soil
8.) Get a baggie, make one small slice in the bottom, mist water inside, place over the solo cup
9.) Put them on a warming mat, keep in a warm place with a little light (for eight clones I use 2 normal CFL about 8" above the cups
10.) Mist the baggie daily. Mist around the soil every couple of days, Water when needed (usually not for more than a week)
11.) After about 10 days, make the slit in the baggie bigger, then remove altogether a couple days later

Aloe Vera plants are full of gel that is great for cloning. I have a few of them on my property and I just cut open a piece of the Aloe and stick my stems inside. Near 100% success rate. And you dont have to spend money to buy more cloning gel. Grow your own.

I'm trying out Olivias Cloning Gel for the first time. Another fella here uses it with great success. Mine are in rockwool in a cheap little plastic cloner. About 5 days in now and no signs of death at least anyway. This is only my 2nd attempt at cloning so I'm no expert there for sure. Although I've seen videos of guys simply wackin off pieces and shoving them into a small dirt pot and the damned things grow. I dunno.......
