How do you clone without a dome?
I have one, but options are good, and I'd like a better way.

Ive rooted a couple in water. Once the roots are present, I transplant.
This process is a lot slower than traditional cloning in a dome.
Not the dome its the oxygen or lack therof in your water.
So, if the water was oxygenated (by means of an aquarium air pump/air stone) the rooting process would be quickened?

I appreciate simplicity too, but It's best to match your cloning technique to the style of grow the plant is destined for. Hydro and soil then would need different techniques. Rockwool or aerocloner for hydro and soil or peat pucks or ready rooters for soil.

I would argue that you are growing water roots and then, in soil, your plants need to develop soil roots...so your plants would probably take off faster if started in soil-like medium and didn't have to go through two rootings.
I tried to find references for this but all are on ganja forums (hardly scientific). General recommendations are to not allow aerocloner (water) roots to get very long before going to soil. One guy who posted a thread on ICMAG said he lost 50% going from hydro to soil.
Back to original topic...AlBFuct has a cool little cloning area that doesn't use a dome. Check it out.
