get rockwool cubes or peat pucks , and try putting your clones in those , i dont know what that schultz rooting hormone stuff is , i just use the gel i got from a flower shop , all i do is get my rockwool ready , run some clean fresh water through it , then i take my cutting , dip the end into the gel , then i put it in the rockwool , then a week or 2 later its rooting

Be patient. Sometimes they get to looking real rough before they root.
im a fan of just ploppin my cuttings in a lil cub (not clear of course) and lettin em do there thing. I dont ph, i dont add any hormones, just a dab of peroxide in the water. Lets say i take 6 cuttings, in about 2 weeks they'll all be rooted, they all root at different times tho. Usually i get my 1st one to show roots in 5 days or so.

What strain ya growin'?
Rite now Snow White. But ive used that method on many, even bagseed and they all do just fine. My thing is that im a huuuuge lover to my babies, be it seedlings, clones or whatever. And sumtimes if im not careful i luv em a lil to much hehe. So what im gettin at here is that ive used bubbler cloners, aero clones, rockwool etc, gotten many good clones rooted from all those methods. But i had alot more failures with it cause theres those few extra steps then the method i use now. Those few lil steps can easily turn into a disaster, especially if ur a new grower. Ur eager to get em rooted, checkin ph all the time, opening humidity domes to get a nice close look at watever, and before you know it uve ruined that nice lil environment that ur tryin to create for em. So the less steps the better imo.What strain ya growin'?

you just have to be patient.. you see people posting that they get roots in 4-6 days.. i must say that is one fast rooting cutting. it usually takes my clones 2-3 weeks to pop roots. i dont use any thing but phed water (5.5) and i raise the ppm up to 150 with flowering nutes. its not necessary to use the rooting hormone but it does help. i used it once and i got roots to pop out of my cubes in 10 days.
but really its all about waiting. as long as they dont die and stay green they will root. the biggest mistake you can make is becoming to impatient and pulling the cutting out of the cube to check for roots. if its green just let it do its thing.
