Hiya
Right well my 2 indica dominant clones took and now are growing and healthy (well, one of them is brilliant, the other one isn't looking AS good with a few yellow/yellow-edged leaves still coming out but the top's looking pretty green still so I'm not too worried)
ANYWAY...
My first time cloning in rockwool was a complete disaster, but water cloning works fine...
I wanted your opinions on a combined method I've just devised - hows about sticking the clone in wet rockwool then leaving it and instead of getting the ROCKWOOL wet every day, I just dip it into water for a few minutes/however long to get it nice and wet every 2-3 days then leave it out of water til next time? COULD it speed the cloning time up a bit do ya reckon? Theres also the whole "humidity dome" thing (I use an empty bin with the lid half off, no humidity dome and a single suspended CFL...) just thinking if i WERE to try it would it be best to use one or not? In water the stems are constantly wet obviously and in rockwool they dry out a bit, which can help the roots grow...
What do ya reckon? Could it work? Does/has anyone else use this method? (at WORST its gonna be just like water cloning I would've thought, but correct me if I'm wrong...)
