Cloning Media

[Closet Funk]

Everybody has thier own methods of cloning. Some may root clones in just water or some may root them in a soiless media. What do you use to root your clones? I've been using just perlite but next time I'm going to use vermiculite, perlite, and alittle peat moss.

i use the ez-cloner

Rapid Rooters.

 

[dreawoh]

rapid rooters work nice as well

spend the cash and get an ez-cloner or do a DIY you'll never regret it....my survival ratio stunk before i invested in one...now i'm close to 100%.

peace

100% everytime with rapid rooters and a humidity dome.

 

[Guest423]

no one can get 100% i don't care what they say....maybe if you only do a few clones every now and again sure u might get 100% but eventually you won't....i'm talking about filling a 120 ez-cloner 4-5 times a year. if you can do 5-6 hundred clones and get 100% then ur the man. if u do alot of clones it's almost impossible to get 100% but if it takes you 5 years to do 120 clones and only a couple die then your still doing good. same with anything though....the more quanity you do of something the more chance u have of something going wrong or sometimes good lol

peace

actually I take about 25 clones at a time.

previously i've always used rockwool, with 90-95% success (taking 40+ clones at a time). this is my first time ever using 50/50 vermiculite/perlite.

I have been using rapid rooters, but this time I am going to try ver/perlite because I have to travel 100 miles to get the rr.....

I like to use dirt.

I just took some clones and used 60% Sunshine mix #4 / 40% perlite in 3" containers.
It's taken me a while to get the hang of cloning and even still I had a tough time a month back with a strain that I have been normally able to clone pretty well. I don't think my mother plant had been getting enough light at the time though - not sure if that would affect anything.

Can somebody link me to these "ez cloners" and "rapid rooters"?

 

[Natural]

Peat pellets...

I've rooted probably 12 clones and haven't lost one yet. I get roots in 14-17 days... 17 being a TINY clone I took (I'm talking about 1 inch tall, if that)

 

[Transcendence]

Home made 30-site bubble cloner, great success so far. Some take up to 14 days, some as quick as 8.

All i do is soak rock-wool in rooting hormone an then put some hormone on the clone n pop it in.....i've probly only done this about 15 times cuz im pretty new but ive only lost 3 clones so i guess it works.
