LET'S CLONE IN DIRT, WTF!
- Thread starter High Country
- Start date
These aren't bitches, these are babes, they're hot.....and they're all mine.
Most excellent!
After trying quite a few methods i am happiest with LC's#1 coco mix that is my usual indoor mix. I do use gel with a little aspirin or willow soak plus seasol.
Nature knows what to do

I've read that willow has properties that encourage roots to form, not sure what the active ingredient is though. It probably explains why willows are such a pest on our waterways. Willow has the ability to layer itself very easily. A branch touching dirt will quickly form roots and a new plant is born. See my pic on page 1 of this thread.
I also use Seasol seaweed extract. I usually water my clones with it after 7 days and it promotes strong root growth. I'm on track to getting a 100% strike rate in 14 days with no clonex, no bottom heat, no special propogating medium, no secrets....just a stable environment.
Yeah man willow bark is natural aspirin. Any variety of willow (salix) will work since they all contain the natural chemical IBA (indolebutyric acid) - a natural plant growth regulator.

100% looks like a sure shot now
This info also belongs in the Aussie organic fanatics methinks

Good link SilverSurfer, might have to give it a go.
11 DAYS, THE CLONES ARE GROWING
11 DAYS, THE CLONES ARE GROWING
11 days since taking the clones and they have all begun growing.
FAN LEAVES SPREADING OUT, RAPID GROWTH STARTING
Multiple roots now appearing at the base of the Hiko tray. I expect to see roots coming out of the base of every cell in a few days.
40 HEALTHY LITTLE CLONES
These Hiko trays are excellent to use for seed or clones. They can stay in here for a couple more weeks and get nice and strong. If I wanted to I could put the tray in a small backpack, head out into the bush, dig 40 holes, push the clones out and into the holes they go. Minimal transplant shock and they're up and running..
Let's clone in dirt.

THE MUMS, POST CLONE MASSACRE
THE MUMS, POST CLONE MASSACRE
Nearly 2 weeks since the mums were hacked to bits. So what are the little indica girls looking like now.
SHORT AND FAT, LOT'S OF NEW CLONE SITES
VERY DENSE GROWTH, TYPICAL OF THIS STRAIN
Give the clones a couple more days and they're done. 40 rooted clones in 14 days in dirt.

14 DAYS, 40 ROOTED CLONES IN DIRT
14 DAYS, 40 ROOTED CLONES IN DIRT
That's right. 100% strike rate. 40 out of 40 clones have roots.
HEALTHY WHITE ROOTS
STANDING STRAIGHT AND READY FOR ACTION
40 HEALTHY CLONES
So there you go, cloning doesn't get much more basic than this. No clonex, no bottom heat, simple potting mix and a STABLE AIR TEMP OF ABOUT 24C OR 75F.
Who needs complicated cloning systems, you don't.
Now, what can I do with this lot?

Good on ya shroomy, yes it is a very reliable strain and that may help. But I still can't understand why some people have problems with producing healthy clones. I can do the same with just about any plant. I have mainly built my own outdoor garden from plants I have cloned, it's certainly cheaper.
Cloning is not rocket science. No need to complicate the process. It's been going on for thousands of years without aero cloners or clonex.
Keep the environment stable and 14 days later you'll have roots, in this species anyway.
Cheers.
Love your work HC, and some people doubted yoiur style.
I personally love it, nature knows best i guess to an extent
Peace.
There will always be doubters Afro, why? - cos they haven't tried it? Or for some reason refuse to accept it.
If you don't have a go, you'll never know.
That's why I like to see people try different things on this site, some work, some don't.
Who cares, it's good to see imagination and experimentation at work.
16 DAYS, ALL CLONES RE-POTTED
16 DAYS, ALL CLONES RE-POTTED
I decided to re-pot these clones before things got out of control.
THIS IS HOW THEY COME OUT OF THE HIKO TRAY
RE-POTTED AND 40 CLONES ARE ON THE GO
Not sure what I'm going to do with this mob of indica girls, time will tell.

I've got another idea.
LET'S CLONE IN AGAR, WTF!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agar
gonna be interesting
I watered the clones after they were put into the dirt, just once to settle the dirt around the stems.
The key thing is a stable air temp, 22C-24C or abiout 75F.
These clones forrmed roots just as quick as any other method using clonex, heat mats and the like.
Every single one put out roots, 100% strike rate.
Pretty simple isn't it.
Thanks for your observations.
Hi everybody
High Country, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.
I use a very similar method for clonning fig trees very successfully. But as I am very shabby and stingy I use transparent plastic bags in order to keep high humidity.
I will try with my Sumatran Tuk-Tuk female that I am trying to clone now just in plain water.
Thank you.
Best Regards.
