Which propagator for cuttings

Is a propagator which has 12.5CM height enough height for cuttings, or is it better to get a propagator with 18CM height? Because I never took cuttings before and unsure the average size that they are when you take them

Taller is better. Bigger clones, more growth room. It keeps leaves from touching too. You can put small clones in a big one but not big ones in a small one.

Try to cut your clones from the oldest branches. And a good rule of thumb is to have your cuttings no less than 2-3 inches.

Just to clarify, when he says oldest branches that obviously means the lowest branches. I find that smaller clones root a lot faster but bigger clones while sometimes taking longer, once rooted have that much more growth already in place, so its about finding a comfortable medium. But surely the bigger propagator is going to be more useful as im sure time will come when you will want at least one or a few big clones.

On another note, when you say propagator i automatically am thinking your talking about a tray with a humidity dome, is that right?

Yes your right with the tray and humidity dome, are clones supposed to stay away from CFL lights and placed in a window till its rooted is this correct?

Under CFL is fine. Just at a distance. Too far and they stretch and get leggy. Too close and they burn.

I put a 150 watt equvilent CFL directly on top of all my domes, with a cone reflector. Roots show within a week.

I used a root roit plugs a schultz powder for the first time couple weeks ago, i just got my clones to root a couple days ago,took 9 days to root , the lowest branch is your best bet do to its maturity and strength the other clones i cut off newer plants and middle branches died , also i noticed if your clones are stll alive after the 5th 6th day there going to make it, make sure to keep them moisturized all times, if they dry just for a little bit they will die on you, also i have my t5 lights the closest i can to dome(glacier bay bottle) or plants with NO problems at all. I didnt even mist mine you should have no prob, its really not difficult at all

Buy a damn clone dome! LOL

haha, Money is super tight right now and i just make it work with what i got and improvising lol, after my outdoor done is finished i will be upgrading alot of things especially the dome haha

Good improvised dome though. At the most, they only cost 8 dollars. If you're paying anymore, you're getting ripped off!

I just knocked over a cup and a clone that just rooted ,main stem broke DAMn, i just taped it back what i get for messing around in there when i dont need too, and i know there pretty cheap but right now thats like 80 for me and rather throw it in the gas tank lol

Not a bad looking set up! I hear you on the gas money. But in all "real-ness" the more you grow, not nessisarly the amount of plants you grow, I'm talking time invested. You're gonna spend way more than you expect to pay because you want to grow supreme shit. But if it works for you, it works for you

Oh i know this lol I have alot of inline fans de humidifier few ballast and few hoods lights etc etc lol everthing is easy over 2 grand in equipment and i dont even have everthing i need including co2 equipment and a DOME lol, Just dont have the space or the money for the pg and E , after my outdoor is done hopefully ill be back in full effect, https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/514475-1600-watt-grow-stlbudz.html this was the last thing i had going before everything went down hill ,but ive learned alot since and will definitely be outdoing that by far once everything starts to click and get my mothers, I think any1 who growing constantly should have at least a mother plant it will make things alot easier , took me till now to do it haha

let me know if you start any journals? would like to tune in
