Here is the rest of that clone....
The experiment with this 12 inch clone....
was to see if this size was too woody to root well....
It seemed to root no slower than a small clone..... but it was scarified on opposite sides allowing the roots to pop easier....
The secret to doing a large clone???
dont let it wilt....I used my fabulous cloning tool.....the menards bag to keep a high humidity...
Call that a clone? lol I call that a plant. I gotta get some Clonex Azos isn't working very well in the cold.
Well my friend... then you will certainly enjoy this....

Thanks for that...He confirms what I saw in some old-timers' grow books when I was a wee lad, they used to 'air-layer' and tie down the rooted part to the ground, one plant with 5-6 root systems grown like vines it was pretty mind blowing stuff for a 13 year old have yet to give it a shot but am gonna when the 2x2's not so packed.

That sounds like cannabis botany by clarke
Great book.....
Great book.....
I think it was, cover looks familiar. 'Marijuana Botany' 1981 Is a great book thanks again brother I gotta get my copy. Any other recommended reads?
Blast from the past right there

14 days ago I started some clones.....exactly 18.....
6 bruce banner 3
6 green crack
3 star tonic
3 sour dubb
Im using the old style cloner... the ice tube cloner (small tubes) not the popsicle mold(larger tubes....
The newer popsicle mold has plastic you can see the roots....This cloner you cant...
So I will simply leave the cuttings in for a couple extra days.....In this case I was confident that I would get 100%
And I did......
What more can you ask for..... this method of cloning simply works....if you get the environment right.....

Pretty vicious for two weeks. 
You ever tried coco? It's what I use so if I could get away with it that'd eliminate the rooters/perlite/verm. I know I'm sick of buying rooters, always seem to run out when I'm broke.

yeah man, coco will work fine but it has different properties so it behaves differently, meaning you'll have to climb a short learning curve to figure out how to maintain the proper moisture levels, with coco you'd definitely want to use less water which would mean you'd need to be monitoring a bit more closely.
...here's a couple i rooted in coco a while back using 9oz cups of coco rather than the ice tube trays, ...my grobro uses the trays AND coco with great success, ...me i mostly still use the vermiculite, i figure, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, and this cloning method is so brain-dead easy and so rock-solid reliable, why bother changing.
peace, bozo
...and because the ice-tube-trays are getting really hard to find i figured i'd share some pics of one i made from a popsicle mold i got on ebay for less than $3.00 and with free shipping, ...they came direct from China which is why they were so cheap and also why it took a bit more than 2 weeks for them to arrive after shipment.
anyway, note that i made a 'ram' out of a 6penny nail and an old drawer knob for pushing the rooted clones out from the bottom rather than pulling them out and stressing the fragile new roots. ...note also that i made 'bottoms' for each of the cells for the 'ram' to push up against and if you look closely you'll see i burned a small hole in the center of each with my soldering iron.
i have to say also that with these molds being tapered the clones pop out very easilly, ...something else worth noting is that if you don't use an opaque 'reservoir' like my black one then you will probably get some algal growth on the inside of the cloner, ...the black reservoir solves this and also provides a window, if you will, for me to see when the roots emerge, all in all i'm really diggin' my new cloners.

Hey bozo.... good to see an old friend....yes we go back a ways with this method....
Since I have been scraping opposite sides of the stem I havent lost a clone in like forever...
I do like the new pop molds... I got mine at wallmart for a buck...but for a good cloner...3 bucks is a bargain....
good to see you around again old friend....

Nice Bozo
thanks for the reply. Guess my need to cut and the lack of rooters around here means I'll be giving it a shot haha. I got a flimsy 2x1 tray insert I'm gonna use a part of (been piecing it out to fit wherever I can in the 2x2 
) - it's not see-through but I figure they'll pop out of the holes.GoldenSilence

Couldn't source an icecube tray.
Ive been using these. Cheap, length adjustable, and clear for root monitoring...
these lengths of tube: http://www.mcmaster.com/#2044t46/=106dm0w
with these caps: http://www.mcmaster.com/#shipping-tubes/=106dmz6
supported by a test-tube tray on amazon...

I win haha. I'll put up with the black for the compactness. I figure they'll either get busy growin' or get busy dyin'. Mine's a little different all flimsy and stuff but that one looks a little more sturdy for postin purposes

hey man, take a look at this thread authored by Mr.Bojangles.
Cell Tray Cloning w/perlite
...i think you might enjoy the read.
peace, bozo
Yup that's the tray lol Thanks Bozo. So are perlites root-rates are higher?
