I cant find a damn thing about cloning with this stuff. the3lb.com had some really informative info on all of the earth juice products with the exception of a few including rootstock. They didnt say anything about it because they hadnt trie it out yet but said to expect a report.
So Ive decided to do just that with this thread in hopes that it might help somone out and to see just how effective an organic rooting hormone is compared to clonex.
I'll be going out to the store to pick up a bottle this afternoon which they special ordered for me.

Okay....I read one guys post who said 30% of his cuttings died with this stuff. I think I'll try with just 1 clone.

I'll be taking a bunch of cuttings tonight most likely around 20. I have 8 new spots in the aero cloner and the rest will be in oasis. Ill be using clonex and rootstock in both mediums and see how effective the organic hormone compared to the standard clonex. There will be pics posted.

I had eight new clones in my aero cloner when I went to bed last night and I woke up and they were all dead. Took the top off the aero cloner and the goddamn spinner wasn't spinning. So now Im going to have to wait for my moms to make new clones before I do the aero cloner again.

But, I have 11 cuttings in oasis wedges and I have taken a single cutting from each strain, white berry, spoetnik#1 and orange bud and used root stock on each one.

The clones will be in standing water for about 4 days and I'll leave the humidity dome on for a week and mist twice daily until they are transplanted.

The rootstock has an interesting look. It acctually looks like the green snotty mucous you cough up when you have a nasty lung infection. And some of it seemed to get scraped off as I was inserting them into the oasis I hope thats not an issue.

So Im a pessimist. I didnt really give up on them, I fixed the spinner and left them in there this morning just to see. and after 12 hours with no water on thier stems 6 of the 8 have sprung back to life!:) Heres pics of the clone/seedling room and the new babies.
