Just wanted to pass on a little nugget of info. If you're going to use coco to clone make sure not to add perlite. Having a coco perlite mixture is fine for growing in but it's too arid and doesn't make enough surface contact with the cutting to keep it hydrated. I did an experiment, just for kicks, where I took 4 cuttings from the same plant (all tops) and planted two of them in %100 coco and two in 60/40 coco perlite mix. The two in straight coco are alve and perky and the two in coco/perlite are dead as shit. Hope this helps.

Nice info.

I clone in straight coco too.

I don't even use rooting hormone these days.

I love coco. Been using it for almost 5 years.

It's definitely one of the easiest methods. I have almost a %100 success rate. I use dyngro k-l-n. I'm sure I would be fine without it but I got it for free and it seems to do the trick.
