I have a willow tree on our property. How would I go about making a rooting powder, i.e. I have bark, leaves, shoots, etc.
Thanks for any input!
jaykushoops did i say powder, im sorry didnt mean to.
the way i do it is. take some fresh growth tips. chop up into tiny pieces, add to water+ LAB culture. let sit for 2 days. then use that water to keep your rooting medium moist. which for me is wormcastings + sand.
i wonder though if we could make our own powder.hmmm thats got me thinking.

A friend bought a used EZ-Cloner (30 sites) and we ran it using only fulvic acid in a kelp meal tea.
It worked and worked very well actually. Same results as you experienced.
It's overkill for running 5 medical plants - to say the least.
Good technology and the results speak for themselves.

C21H30O2I like the aero cloner because it allows for a bunch of clones quickly. not important for most but I would like to supply quality clones to the medical community. Grow seeds, spread clones

I used to do the very same thing until an asshole at one of the 'clinics' up in Portland questioned me about the strains that I was dropping off.
They're not from any 'Dutch' or BC company, i.e. they're old genetics from seeds that I've been collecting since 1970.
"What strain is this?"
"Whatever you want it to be I suppose."
"Our patients probably wouldn't be interested without a name attached!"
"Oh yeah - thanks for sharing."
Whatever.

C21H30O2So true the medical community is wacked. Pot is bought and sold on appearance and smell alone, that is it. I have worked in a collective and as a vendor, its so sad. Luckily I know some people that work with oaksterdam and a few club owners so im sure I can spread some clones, hopefully increasing the quality of cannabis in the medical scene as well. I am sooooooo tired of kush, skunk, haze hybrids lol
... I've at least proven to myself it can be done without any products to buy save for rapid rooters which can be replaced/substituted for & without any synthetic elements as well.
I've tried only two different ways of cloning but they've both been organic-based approaches.
First round was 20 cuttings from 7 different plants. I used Olivia's Cloning solution with rapid rooters inside a flat tray and clear humidity dome. Watered as needed with water/Olivia's solution per bottles recommendation. To be fair, cuttings were on the small end of the cutting spectrum and the grow space experienced less than ideal temps for rooting but all that aside, most importantly only five out of 20 rooted.
Second round of cuttings taken immediately after the first round results were in was done exactly the same way minus Olivia's solution. Rapid rooters & water as needed inside dome, misted 2x per day. Once at lights on, once either mid-day or before lights off. Same cool temps experienced but cuttings were noticeably larger and I made a point to have an exposed node inside the rapid rooter. 18 out of 20 rooted.
Third round repeated techniques from 2nd round, 8 of 8 rooted.
Correlation & causation being what they are, I can't say cutting out Olivia's solution solved my problems or that going forward I couldn't root cuttings using Olivia's. But I've at least proven to myself it can be done without any products to buy save for rapid rooters which can be replaced/substituted for & without any synthetic elements as well.
