Hi,, one thing i found with growing the weed, Simple is best..especially with the clones the lil fuckers..lol.
Clones are only as good as mum..keep mum happy kids are happy..
I do my clones in rockwool as im a hydro man..had a good read up of the endless info online and have perfected a 100 percent method..It works for me.( i say 100 percent i did kill a tray of 60 once but thats another tale).
Soak your inch cubes and your 3 inch cubes in PH 5.2-5.5 with 1/2 a mil per litre of veg feed at the same time overnight 3-4 days before u need them.....next day empty the water out of the container..do not squeeze the cubes yet....then soak all the cubes in a PH 6.5 for a couple of hours...then get them out and then give them a good squeeze..
Let the cubes dry for a few days they want to be damp but never wet...
Have your lil ladies off the mother straight into water cut them under water into the cloning gel NOT POWDER and straight in to your 1 inch cube..tip a little gel down the hole for good measure...
The strength of the light isnt really important as your not growing your plants your growing your roots...keep them under a dome and keep it 100% moist all the time if poss but do not spray the clones spray the lid of the dome...bit of a catch 22 as you dont want to let them dry out but they need to breath ,at first through their leaves ,so if you spray the leaves they cant breath so you in effect drown them so dont because they will die overnight.
keep the humidity up so there cheerful just think of it as if it were you sitting in there...pop the lid open a few times a day for a few minutes to give them some fresh air if the cubes should dry completely and i mean bone dry get some PH 6 - 6.5 water with about 1/2 mil a litre of veg feed and dip the cube in it 1 time about half way up....if you wet the cubes too much at any time the roots will just sit there and the plant will drown if the roots have water they will stop searching for it if they stop searching fot it they will die..if the leaves start to turn a bit yellow and dry up a bit thats a good sign as it means the roots (yee ha) are feeding off the plant to grow...you will see some new growth coming through to replace it..happy days.
As soon as you see a root pop it into a now fairly dry 3 inch cube put them under the light( i use a 200 watt cfl works a dream) and i reckon you will see roots in 1-3 days...
Thats about it dont forget as your mother gets a little older the clones will take a little longer to root not a prob its the end result that matters and if you chose well all will be good......
