Anyone had problems with this? I cloned 6 and got one to root. It has been just over 2 weeks. Just curious. Thanks!

I cloned them at the same time as another strain and it all went fine. I cut the stem at a 45 degree angle, sprayed bottom inch with water, and put them into peat pellets, inside a dome. Sprayed 2 times a day until all my clones started to droop. I think it was overwatering from the spraying so I let them go without spraying for awhile. They look as healthy as the day I cloned them. I pulled one out of the pellet and it didn't have anything for roots. just strange that the others did ok and these didn't. Any ideas?

Gels better than powders? It seems like it would be easier to use anyways.

you can root without any rooting compound. i have put 10 clone in just water and had 7 root.

Sorry I forgot to mention that I used the root tone powder. I pulled 2 of them today and all that was there was a hardened end. It had just dried up where I had cut it. There are 3 left that seemed not like they might have some roots started. They didn't come out with a gentle pull like the others so maybe those are ok. Thanks for all the replies!

So growman are you using the same process as I am? With the peat pellets?

try cutting the bottom of the stem into an x with a razor blade usually works really well
