Lets Clone some Today!

[Aquaman2112]

well first lets cover the supplies
a Razor, some cloning gel/powder, some starter plugs,
and a Cloning chamber. also low light I use 4 40w flor. hung about a foot above the cuts.
now first the day before I cut the trim off the branch I am going to clone from. Then I take the plug and run a rod through it to make sure the clone will slide in without any problems.
then take your clone branch and cut at a 45% angle.
Take your cuttint dip into the powder/gel then place into plug, plug can be replaced with other things like jiffy pellets / perlite
place the plug into chamber under low lights till roots show the place in medium of your choice
I use a 1/4 strength ferts in my cloning chamber.
this may not be new to some of you, but hope it helps someone!

Good thread Aquaman2112- looks almost the same as the method i use (except I use perlite/vemiculite 2:1 as the medium and no feed 'till i have roots)

What TEMP do you think is best - I would go for 26c although running hotter works (thats about 80f - i had to look it up)
How often do you spray ? - i like to keep them very moist

Lets hope that this encorages a few more people to try taking cuttings

this is the way to go people - never be short of female plants again

 

[Aquaman2112]

the moistor content in the chamber is high enough I never spray them and I like in the mid 80's sorry I failed the metric system so I dont know what celius would be.
and yes once you have a few good moms you are set for a really long time with Great smoke, No guessing and able to dail in on your plants for best growth.
Thanks for the Kind words Brite!

Hi, that looks the same method as i have been using on a male i kept somewhere away from my grow after it showed its balls. The purpose of keeping this male was just to practise taking cuttings, so my tecnique is right in time 4 my plant which i will want to mother up. The only thing i would metion, is that in ur pic, it ap[pears that u are putting the stem of the cut, straight in2 the pot of rooting hormone, isnt this supposed to be bad, i thought u were meant to put a little bit in2 a seperate container to stop the risk of infecting the entire pot with any bacteria on the stems. Sorry if this comes across as me being a smart ass, but i failed in my 1st few attempts, i believe due to not being serious about contamination, so now i am a bit hung up on it, where growing is concerned, anyway, happy cloning

hi guys i am sort of a new grower and i am having a lot of trouble cloning. thanks for this thread and and i could use all the help i can get. my clones always wilt and die on me. i think i am getting things too hot and wet, so thanks for all the great info.

 

[Aquaman2112]

UPDATE,
tried a newer method someone pointed out to me and would love to share it and the results! same as above only take the clone and put pin holes in the stem all around with a safty pin, sowing needle ect ect! they rooted faster and the roots were more around looking alot healther! I will add this to my methods from this point on!!!

 

[Guest]

Yes and you are supposed to dip the pin in rooting hormone also...errr, from what I have read.

 

[Aquaman2112]

well I didn't because I didn't know but it kicked ass anyways!
thanks for letting me know,
Aquaman2112

 

[Harry Gypsna]

i dont prick em, i take my very clean, very sharp razor blade/craft knife, and gently scrape the very outer layer of ""skin"" from the stem on at least 1 side, i do 2 sides, u can do it all the way around, it just supposedly allows the rooting hormone to penetrate easdier, i dunno, but ill try anything, and it seems to work, the roots appear strongest it 2 opposite areas, which would correspond with the scraping in those areas. could be bullshit though, lol, just seems to work.

 

[Aquaman2112]

well try the poking holes thing, it works good I swear!!

 

[Harry Gypsna]

time for sum experimentation i think, aquaman, would u be interested in doing this test with me, both take 2 clones, use 1 for each method, and see the results.

 

[Aquaman2112]

yes I can do that but at the moment I have a hurricane breathing up my ass...lol
I will not mind dpoing that for everyone at all
