Take a second answer this. Most important thing to remember when cloning

What in your opinions would you say are the two MOST important things to remember when cloning.

And also in your opinion, if you follow these two rules how long will it take to get them to root?

Keep in mind conventional methods only please, as i do not have access to a aerocloner.

Lol, only 2 things? i'd think youd want to know all the important stuff...

the most important thing is humidity and temp.

Take the clipping, but it in water in a dark container of some sort and set it in a window sill that gets no direct sunlight. This is by far the eaisest method.

you wrote "but", did you mean "put"?

also would ph that is about 6.5 really stop some clones from rooting?

definetley remember humidity
and the rooting hormone you use
you probably cant even get a clone to grow without rooting hormones




glad to help

I have no idea. I dont P.h. my water. I use well water, and it seems to work just fine

Dont listen to him. Do what i told you. If you do it right, Youll have No issues, And its so uncomplicated

well thats what i thought, but ive had about 20 clones in rockwool for about 6 days and i broke one open and there is no sign of roots. I have done everything correctly that i can think of, humidity is in check i used root powder, water is phd at 5.5-6.5 they are just turning yellow and wilting. i dont know what i did wrong, or what i would do different next time. oh well.

the most important thing to remember is, its not as hard as you think, just be pacient

yea you can,
keep em alive in water cups and in about 1-2 weeks you should see little white things sticking out(beginning of roots)
this is not a really good method as it takes forever
i discovered this today becuase previously i had taken cuttings, just to allow main bud sites to grow and dunked them inwater and forgot about them
2 weeks later they had mini roots, so....
yea!

Yah, exactley, So simple and easy.

thanks guys. this is my first attempt at cloning and i guess im just being impatient. I guess all the tales of 3-7 days are bogus then?

Im not sure about using hormones... I know they work alot quicker though. But. whats a few days?

for every plant you want make 3 clones. the strongest of 3 is the chosen one.
so if you want 4 plants 12 clones. If you want 10 plants make 30 clones. Cause shit happens and you wont worry as much

it can take as long as 3 weak and as short as 3 days but for this you nead evrything perfect and you must have a heating pad for roots... they love warmer tempetures when they are young

I have taken several clones using different methods just to see what works best for me. I split the stem on some and they all had much more roots a lot faster than the other ways I tried.

I was taught by a person that supplies clones to medical clubs in the bay area to:

Take rockwool cubes and soak them in a ph'ed solution with rooting hormone added then take the cuttings and stick them in the cube, put the cubes on a mesh tray that sits an inch or so above a tray of pure water, stick that whole thing on a heat mat and you're gold.

This guy has been straight cloning for 4 years, hasn't even flowered one since. He also said he noticed no difference with using a humidity dome, but I think his heat mat thing does that job. I have yet to clone a cannabis plant, but I trust what he does.
