i set it a forget it

on day 3 after making a trip to town to buy what i needed to build a dwc for more clones (i could only get 4 in the jar)
i went to get the clones out of the jar to put here....
and baam! 3 of 4 have roots and look health as hell
there the 2 that ar in the middel of this pic ( but not the one in the middle it self the 4th died the 3rd has gone to a friend for soil ( as i hear you want the roots small)

so after the jar cloner.........

i made again a cheap ass cloner...
( i did not wanna fire up the big one) and the pump was on a mother plant...

the jar works but!!!!!!! it hard to cut the holes there jagged and cut the plant ..... so i made it this time with something a lil smother.........what else then butter....(using the same pump)

doc d...... 4 days ( silverhaze only) every thing else is about 7-10

i made this when i only had one 4 clones no reason to fire up a 70 cloner for 4 clones

i now use a lil b-1 ( AN's b52 or supathrive) i used to use roottech but i was having a prob with stem root ( mushy)

i have also used that olivas what eva and thats a waste or cash....

i hear the botanacare power clone stuff is good but 40 bux is not worth 1-2 days to me....

iv cloned a lot of strains ( 50+ ) 60% are 5-7 days 20% 7-10 days 10% either 4 or 10+


next time i take sum clones im gonna try using a powder and just putting it in the water

i find rhizotonic in the water at day 3 makes the roots explode out at days 4,5and 6 ...and theyre the dogs for cloning ,just like 00420 says 100% success every time
 
Wait...I've got to try this...it looks just too friggin easy.

2 questions.

1. So I can still dip them at the cutting in Roottech and then put them in the plain water with a drop of Superthrive?

2. After the roots pop, I am guessing that I can then cut open a root plug or a rockwool plug at then put them in my hydroton?

You only need tap water - I've made 4 of these after seeing 00420's stuff - works great everytime!

Yep - you got it - like a mentor of mine told me - keep it simple!

ok ok so is this just a small container with small airpump? and how much superthrive would you put into the butter container. Should the cuttings be submerged or being splashed like in an aerocloner?

i tried just plain water cloning last time and had some problems with excessive rooting time and some stem rot. this looks like very good way to improve results thanks 00420.

a lil concerned about water temps....the room they will be in is rather cold, what temps are used. any heating, or just plain water no heat

yep & yep.........

with or without roottech i get same roots in same day's........

as far as the root plug or rockwool you can do that or go right to the droton no need for either...... but one thing make sure it stays wet ;)

i set my timers 3 times as much as i do for the first day or two...

i use just a drop in there......... ihave found that it allso helps with the good ol stem rot.....

i now just use plan tap water!!!!! no b-1 supa b-52....bla bla bla

keep the stem submerged at lest 1/4"-1" keep n eye on water temp if ya can.....(65-78) for 3 bux the fish stores have killer meters'
 
Even though this thread seems to be almost dead I just got back from vacation so I haven't had a chance to thank...

00420 and 1toke.

Thanks guys, I will make one of these soon and post a couple a picks.
