Hey guys I was going through the albums on my old profile from years ago and found a series of photos that demonstrate how I clone. I had amazing success with clones so I thought I'd share my methods:
You will need - Either a cloner, Rockwool cubes, Root Riots or another growing medium will do. I suggest doing a DIY bubble cloner. Cheap and they have great root times. You will also need a clean, sharp razor blade. I take the initial cutting with a pair of Hydrofarm trimmers (which I recommend) but you can also just do it with the razor blade if you'd like. I also like to use a rooting gel such as Rootech.
First off, you need a nice, bushy mother plant to take cuttings from. In this example I used my Pre '98 Bubba Kush mother plant. I LST'd her so I had lots of tops available to cut as clones.
The second step, which can be done first if you wish, is washing your cloner. There are many threads on this site that describe how to build a DIY cloner. I had a friend make mine its pretty much a smaller black container to hold water with 12 sites on the top where neoprene disks hold the clones. Add a pump and some tubes and you've got a cloner. Make sure your cloner is as clean as possible at all times, you don't want any algae or other issues.
I clean the cloner as the blade soaks in 91% alcohol.
Now it's time to take some clones...Now I will start a new post.
