Any recommendations for cloning gels/powders/solutions for a tomato plant?
wich works best? Any negative effects on taste?

I have used gels and powders and nothing just put straight into soil, no effect on taste

so you just dip it in the root hormone and stick it in the dirt, not scraping any hormone off the base....?

umm....soil is harder to get new roots to sprout from what i hear, i would use rockwool and some type of controlled enviroment that keeps the humidity up.

Whats the deal with growing tomotos ?

Ive had some out doors in the summer and it dident turn out 2 good

Do they need diffrent light cycles to make the flower . like the ganja

Also how tall do u let them grow this thing grew about 6 foot , is 1 plant even worth while doing ? How many would you say is a good no.

actually soil is easier.. takes longer, but I have had 100$ success in soil, and around 40% success in rockwool, with and without a humidity dome.

thanks bongo, i've grown Clint Eastwood's rowdy red tomatos outdoors with good success.
1st attempt to clone some for indoors this winter but they died.

they are VERY tasty btw.

Olivias Cloning Gel + Rapid Rooter root cubes + humidity dome = ???????? i'm not sure yet, but this is how i plan on doing my next clones, i've used root cubes for starting seeds in the past, there alot like rock wool there just made out of treebark.. and there more of a spunge substance... there suposto be pretty good for cloneing, work great for seed starting and have benifishial microbes that live in them, to help things along, i havent ever used rock wool, but i've always heard about ph probs with it, so back in the day i went the root cube rout, just some food for thought

you really dont need it, i havent tried with tomatoes, but ive put both weed and basil cuttings in plain water and they rooted in a week and a half (basil was a bit quicker)

Around here the success secret is root temp. Nursery owners do not put plants out if the night time ambient temperature is 50 deg f or lower. Cloning is the same thing; root temp is the most critical element.

Thinking of starting a hydroponic tomato garden outside when it gets warm again, has anyone had any success with that, are there a lot of problems you can run into with tomato growing?? (Ive never tried, never had a yard for a garden!!)
