Clone fail

Hello all,
I took some cuttings a week ago. To cut a long story short, I fucked them up.
Would it be ok to use the same rockwool cubes for another attempt as my
nearest grow-shop is 20 miles away?

it should be fine just rinse them out real good and 20 miles what are you bitching about mines atleast 50 miles probally more it took me 2 1/2 hours one way now thats bull shit

Any idea why you fail ?

Thanks for that. Er.......I'm not bitching, i was just stating a fact. 50 miles eh? Is mail order a good idea?

I left the lid off the propagator and burnt them

of all the clones i have ever done rockwool has been the second worst cloning medium i have ever tried.

I in no way consider myself to be an expert, i am just passing on my experiences. The only thing i have ever tried that took longer to root then rock wool was the fog cloner i built (they all died in about 4 days, only clones i have ever had die). In comparison to DWC cloning and rapidrooters rockwool seems to take about 2x as long to root and normally leaves the clones in much worse condition.

First time I've had 100% failure, but that was my fault (and guinness and ww) but I don't hold it against them

I do mail order now its just horrible driving down there for a few things and the shipping is usally cheaper than the gas plus the feds aint looking into little guys they want big growers unless your going all out I wouldn't sweat it but big orders I would drive down to an out of state shop cause under covers have followed people from grow stores also take a look around make sure nobody is chilling around the shop that can be a under cover but locals aren't watching you online orders

I know what your sayin' mate. difficult choice between plain brown packages or bringng stuff in from the van under the cover of darkness

right I've heard more problems with rockwool than any other cloning medium but some people swear by it I jut use some pro mix now its cheaper than buying cloning mediums plus its got micorriza in it wich makes roots stonger

I've tried all possible cloning method i eared about & Spend hundreds $$$$ on different crappy cloning machine in the end I always go back to the old ways I learned about 35 years ago, only the shape of the florescent bulb as change. Very simple : Light, pro-mix, water,small plastic pot or beer cup, hormone and a marijuana cutting & i use no dome . Starting from noting it cost 20$ & i get all i need at the hardware store including the 6500k CFL. Everything is ready in 2 weeks ( clone pictured are 10 days old )


I keep this machine i bought for 250$ as a proof of temporary insanity
