just wanted some info on how the gh nutes go at rooting cuttings , i normally use a specialty product just for cuttings but i figure why bother if i can just use my general hydroponics nutrient for that as well , i know theyve got the mixtures in there table for cuttings anybody used it and if so how'd it go???????????:wall:

I've never used it but it can't hurt using it. It has to be better than using just water, yah know? Post your results man, I'm curious to see how this stuff does.

the gh nutes used on cuttting/ seedling ratio have so far been working great i basically took a look at two bubbler cloners found a small well sealed pop on lid container put a small heater in it 25w and add a grommet through the side for an air line in and attached a air stone cut out a tiny bit of plastic in the corner for the heater cord cut slits in the lid and then cut 1inch thich foam strips just bigger than the slits so theyd fit snug i then cut slits even spaced in the foam to let me slide the cutting in easily but not to tight to choke it i offset each row so the cuttings had abit more space i also tried using a combo of honey and powder rooting hormone i mixed in a small amount and then stirred it . other than that i did everything as normal . cut the cutting , put in under water and made a new cut on a 45 degree angle about 5 mil below a node and then pull it out of the water shake it off a little and dip in the honey mix ( usually clonex gel but lack of money ) and the slid it in the foam strip to an even depth , repeat it until its full and then stick the lid with cutting in it on the tub level on nute was about 15 mil at first but i found it was getting them to wet they dripping constantly so i dropped it a couple of inches and its perfect theyre healthy as and despite the fact they sat inside under no light but my bedroom incandesant and theyre rooting in 8-9 days . the worst the cutting eg the ones at that are tiny and weak looking are the fastest i heard that its better taking from the bottom of the plant but it has never been the case for me before where ive used rockwool cubes clonex gel and mini flood and drain clone system .the bigger and healthier the cutting the faster theyd root yet here the cuttings i almost threw out but decided it was a test of the bubbler and may as well give it a go have been the quickest.

so all in all its a big thumbs up for gh flora nutes used for taking cutting using the current -09 seedling/cutting ratio which is like 3ml micro 3ml grow and 3ml bloom per 9liters . (my ten liter bucket is ten litres at the brim so i just mix 9 at a time and it makes it easier for me to stir . it also made it easier for this ratio as 10 litres was like 3.3 ml a little bit more fiddly to make up. ive noticed no difference at all by not using my usual seed and clone mix and clonex gel .times the same just as healthy .so far apart from the four cuttings that died instantlly i crushed two and as to the others? ive had about 50% root so far and once they make it this far normally its a giiven there gonna show sooner rather than later . any queries feel free to ??????????
