just wondering if anyone has used this same method, and how are the results?? Im trying to get clone cutting to root.
i have a 4-5 inch container w/ lid ( light proof). the container if full of distilled water. the lid has 3 holes, in middle the air hose from a fish tank pump. and the other two holes is where the clones are stuck in. the end of the air hose in the water has a small bubble spreader. the set-up is under one 26 watt bulb. here are pics
any advice helps.

oh yea the clones are B-13 ( blueberry/ G13 )

That will probably work but I understand that 'water roots' are weaker and the plant has to grow new roots once you put it in soil.

thanks.
i heard that clones grow roots faster using my method, so im hoping it works.
but can anyone backup the info that clones have to grow new roots once put in soil??? i would really like to know more about that.

also anyone with good cloning methods please post...

You are using a good method for HYDRO growers. Once you place the rooted cuttings into soil, the growth will stall. They will recover, but it'll take some time. Why not just start them off in cups with a 50/50 mix of Perlite and Vermeculite? Use stryofoam cups and punch some holes in the sides near the bottom of the cups for drainage. This way, you are developing soil roots and can transplant them right into your soil medium without any problems. Good luck ...
