noreason - Not sure I am qualified to explain the cutting the leaf part, but seen it done both ways and the cut leaves seem to root faster.

I just have to laugh....Because he's right. 14 days for clones to root is insane. It should take 3-5 days max. Plus I suggest that you cut those leaves off, as your cuttings are having to spend more energy supporting those fan leaves compared to using all of the energy for roots.
i didnt read the whole thread but i have done many test and i find to NOT spray clones better in my setup. I tried with many kind of water from distilled, to tap water with rizotonic or algamic.
I have a cheap clone dome and i use rockwool wich is way cheaper and better than root-riot plugs.
Spraying clones never speeded up the cloning process and only increased the % of moldy ones.
What i find is a great idea is to put a warming cable under a bed of perlite, where i put clones, i used a second clonedome bottom to keep rockwool from touching perlite because it became too hot and they dried quickly, now they are perfect and with the added heat i can root even in the most cold days in a reasonable matter of time and with 100% success.
not a great pic but you can see the double layer clone dome i use. I use a 50w heating cable with termostat set at 26°c.
I think you temps are correct......myself I use 78-82
Lol implies you think somethings funny. I didnt really find it funny you shrugged off two others advice then loled mine. It pissed me off. What a waste of time, you post a thread to what? Argue and waste bandwidth?
Chasing green gives you more good advice i would have given you if you werent laughing your ass off. Though honestly after your last reaction to advice, id never waste my time again.
Yeah 2 weeks to root = not good. You are not the expert you believe you are. Anyone on this site could tell you that.
You can see clearly my leaves were also cut. They were originally cut off 60% and then grew out larger after rooting.
Its a little frustrating trying to answer someones question and have them act like a teenager. You dont know best. Not this time. Do you want to launch a thread asking whats better, your two weeks or my one? I dont think its that hard to figure out which method works better.
Whos acting like a "b"? Grow a pair of balls...
Im still laughimg my ass off at your 14 days. Thats wack dog...
Can I ask how old you are??????
Your brain seems to be like not quite there yet......
Why would someone 'piss you off'
That shows some issues with maturity to me......
Thanks. I noticed the opposite in the past. Will do another test next time I'll take clones
Im a retired computer analyst..... I made my money with logic and reason.....
Your ways mr construction dude are quite feminine.....
Women are emotional.....maybe one day you grow up and realize that.....
"I guess some people have to do things the hard, slow, incorrect way..."
condescending and snotty dont you think?????
I took 2 clones just last night.....

Why are your clones so tiny???
You don't need to spray if clones are in a humid environment, why make work for yourself?
Take more clones, get your numbers up, I take your level of cerebral activity as a sign that you are not working hard enough. My god if you continue to spend so much time thinking you may just evolve the human race to the next level!!!If I didn't do anything redundant, what the hell would I do with all that free time?

I just have to laugh....
It should take 3-5 days max....
Incredible.... but what I have seen is that some guy holds up a clone.....
as though thats just an average cutting....... baloney....
Unless you plug your cloner in....there is no way to average 3-5 days ....... none.... nonsense.....baloney......
SOmeone may have a variety thats fast....but to average 3-5 with any clone.....
Thats something I have to see......
The only reason Im aware of......why you cut leaves....is to reduce transpiration...... Not how fast they root....
So you new guys...... I would love to see it.....
create a thread...... take 6 cuts.... 2 or 3 varienties.....and show us roots on all in 5 days or less......
