I have the Romulan strain. when I put my cuttings in the cloner it takes up to 5 weeks before I see any roots. I put other strains in there with them and they are ready to plant in about 2 weeks. now occasionally I will get roots at the same pace as the other strains I grow. I use rooting hormone, new growth cuttings and an aeroponics cloner. I have tried many different methods. I have tried clipping my leaves down ,slicing the stem slightly, scraping the stem and everything else I could think of. plain water, b1, rooting solutions and so fourth . can anyone help shorten the process for me.

when it comes to cloning Romulan - I got some Fed or Next Gen in 2004 - I wish I'd cloned more !
5 weeks ?
What are the temps ? Its sounds like it might be chilly and the plant is moving slow like in hibernation sort of.
Proper Romulan is a monster. It doesn't need pampering. It roots vigorously.

I agree with St. Phatty, what's going on with the temps? I haven't experienced this before, but maybe this could help: whenever you have the occasional Romulan clone that roots in a similar time frame as your other strains, mark that plant and see if the clones from that plant root faster. Also, that is awesome you have the Romulan from fed, I tried the next gen beans but had no luck

I keep my humidity dome around 80 but thats me, and it sounds like it's working for your other strains. I still suggest taking one of the fast rooting clones, mark it, and clone from that one later - see if maybe the mother plant lacking vigor compared to the new plant. Other than that, considering what you're tried and the other strains cloning in a normal time frame, it might just be this is how your romulan is now
The garden here was clone only from 2002 through 2015.
A cerebral strain developed for fast cloning and growth had roots showing within four days while a couchlock variety took up to six weeks for the same amount of roots.
You say the other strains finish in two weeks (which was my average when testing new clone groups) and only the Romulan takes longer.
Indications are nothing is wrong with your methods or equipment or all the plants would have problems.
Romulan just takes longer in your garden.
This means the Romulan gets cloned with an expectation of five weeks before transplant while the others get only a two week lead time.
All is good.

you mean the Rom or the BC Hashplant ?
Not that it really matters. It's 'just a name'.
On the other hand, I remember smoking a variety of Romulan than tasted like Playdough, in 2004.
No cure, 5 days of low heat drying on the first buds.
Went with some friends to the beach in San Diego right after test smoking the Playdough Rom.
Talk about hitting you in all the right places.
I remember looking at it with some optics. Resin glands stacked parallel to each other like a little rain forest.
That it was that tasty with zero cure really impressed me.
