What medium did you place your clone cuttings into once you had cut them and dipped them in the cloning gel ?

and is it normal to make more than 1 clone from one branch ?

nice setup, and outdoor plants, man I wish I could stick some outdoors, too sketch though.

I use CloneX and get nice roots in under 10 days, CloneX is the Shiznit. I don't monitor temp or humid or nothing they just go 100%
and were bolth using "peat pods" I use SunLeaves brand. Yeah some strains can be way harder than other, I've tried a few diff methods and I fidn this to be the best.



My cloning setup,
50 Pack of the Peat Pods, $12
CloneX Gel, Small bottle that last ME a year, $22
NWG 50 site propagator $7.

and light of course, clones don't need much at all though.

I just take the lower leave clear off.

yes you can take secondary off shoots off a branch off the main stalk as clones. Just depends on what your setup is and how fast you want them to pick up and grow.

btw, like these shrooms? hehe

and some more bigguns :mrgreen:

when i take cuttings from outside i normally get several per branch.

i used rootech rooting gel. once they rooted i put them in beer cups with miracle grow soil. :blsmoke:

Hey FDD2blk, I don't suppose you would want to trade some clones? Your hijack looks mighty enticing. I've got a "blueberry" that ends up smelling more like coffee crisp in the end. The plant will shoot up atleast a foot or two during my indoor flowering, seems to have minimal leaf to bud ratio. It was a heavy chronic high. Zombie like. I'm also growing 420 from Vancouver Seed Bank. More of a personal grow since it's got fluffy buds, nice high though. Anyways, let me know what you think.

I like the idea of having "clubs" where you can go pick up different strains and sit around and chat and smoke. Wishin' we had something like that up in canada. I have a few friends that grow, but it's not like you can go searching these people out "hey! how's it goin'? Oh yea, btw, jus wonderin if you wanted to shoot the shit about growin marijuana?" hahahah :bigjoint:

One day......bongsmilie

the rapid rooter plugs are the secret to my success. i have tried rock wool and peat plugs with terrible results. the rapid rooter brand rooting trays preloaded with plugs give me a 99.9% success rate. using a dome for 3 days and a heat mat with a thermostat. bongsmilie

yeah it does.
i just did another tray of 50. 98% success rate. i had 1 that was just 2 small leaves that didn't make it. everything else is perfect. :-P

Congrats m8, my last batch 120... succes rate of 95% without the mat... + the growth was so agonizing !

:) I need a 120cm Heat pad... by 30cm :)

Think about 8 died here... yeah.. and they were the maple leaf.. I allways get punishd by myself... I realy wanted to have more than 12 maple leafs for myself... :)

Still got the mother, gona buy a 80x80x160 box for the mothers.. And i am gona turn my 60x60x140 On its side, mount 3 t5's at the top.. and do my cloning in there.. might have to buy 2x 120heat pads or one with a 60cm width !

cheers :D

I use rapid rooter too. I buy it buy the bag. If I don't use all 50 I can just put the bag in the fridge and they stay good forever. I spray an anti-wilt on them and they don't have to be misted. It's more $$$ but I can leave clones untended for days.
