Cloning tip?

I was wondering if anyone had some tips for cloning, Ive never tried it before and i got some beautiful WW Id like to clone.
Any tips?
I have a cloning tray with a dome and i have the bulbs and everything I just need to know how often to mist them and other tips are useful as well
Thanks

Are you using rapid rooter plugs or what?

I do it easy, get 1" rockwool cube, soak in PH 5.6 water for 30 mins. Take cuttings with clean razor and make cut under water. Cut 2/3 of leaves off cutting and clip some leaves in half so that plant will not transpire too much moisture. Split end of cutting stem and scrape a bit of the dermis off the end. Dip cutting in cloning gel (Rootech) liberally, place halfway into Cube. Place cube 18" under 400 Watt MH light, water 2 teaspoons of water each 2-3 days. Wait 10 days, no domes, mist 2 times per day for the first week and voila roots out the bottom of cube.

very effective.

Umm i have rapid rooter, they aren't plugs, to be honest i dont know what they are

so how do i split the end? like cut it in half? and i know how to scrape off the dermis at the bottom. can i use the cool air bulbs and warm air bulbs? and why cant i leave the dome on? it would help contain the moister content in there

What I've always done is almost the same as NoDrama but i use a cloning dome with a heating pad underneath with the temp at 75 F. and i do have an altitude dome on top of the tray

I didn't say you shouldn't use the dome, i just don't use it myself. I split them by using a sharp instrument (Scalpel) and cut em lengthwise about 1/4 inch. The heating pad will get even faster rooting, but my 400 keeps things warm enough.

ok cool, i use a heating pad because im using a warm air bulb and a cold air bulb both florescent so it wont be hot enough... i keep it at 75 is that good or should i bring up the temp a bit?

So what are you shooting at the tempurature to be? around 80F?

Hey mj ive had much success with cloning in a cup of water, following the standard cutting and scraping procedures described already, u can put these directly into a cup of water just covering the top of ur scraping and in a few days once u have White bumps on the stalks ( beginning root structure) u can place into any media u like . Soil, hydro, etc.

Its really that simple.... never used a dome, always trim bottom fan leaves during cutting, change water once a day and just indirect light bro.... widow maker describes it best at the top..


Hope that helps

look at the grow guide to there's some ideas in there

So If your using say a red Dixie Cup about 12 oz. how do you know when the roots a taking hold so you can transfer?

Then how you go about that?

When the leafy green part is bigger than the cup that is when you transplant, there is usually just as much root as there is leaf mass.

Rapid rooter plugs always do really well for me... even when I have to use shitty water. I just picked up 72 500ml bottles of spring water though... so plants will be happy to get back to better water.

Yea My Brita Water Filter for the faucet had a piece break so I have to let Tap Water sit out tonight to use Until I can go get the part to fix it.

But I got all my soil an nutes so when it's time I'm ready to transport. I got some Miracle Grow root builder stuff(best stuff I could find) I plan to strat that on my little clone tomorrow as directed on box.

I only use that stuff in early stages right? to help roots develop?

well i already tried to make 4 clones and ill see how they come out... if it doesnt come out like i hope ill try to do it your way onthedl

Ok sweet cause i have the rapid rooter... im trying them out in the dome first because its something i had and id like to experiment. but as far as i been hearing everyone has different techniques and they all work relatively well

dude, build a bubbler, it's so cool!!!

every single 1 of my clones worked great =D not 1 died. out of 40 i got 100% success rate

clona-fukin-rific!!!

I sucked at clones the natural way... Good job, cannot wait to see the results. I'm amazed, daily of the bubbler though...
