The Ziplock Container Jiffy Gel Method!
The Ziplock Container Jiffy Gel Method!
Ok so I tried the perlite first with powder and had 50% success then I went to the bubble cloner and 90% success but I also got sick of changing the water and when I moved my setup I didn't have consistent results anymore and it was taking 3 weeks to root sometimes and then I started getting stem rot on some and it was fucking up me starting a perpetual SOG..... So I got some RootTech cloning gel and the smaller Jiffy Pots that come in refill packs of 72 in lil trays of 24 that I cut to 15 to fit in a 2.5L Ziplock container and those come in a pack of 2 so it's perfect you get your bottom for your tray and then flip the other one upside down on top for a humidity dome
What I do is take my 15 Jiffy Pellets and soak them in a 1/4 strength grow solution with 3 drops of Superthrive per Liter or Quart. Once the take shape I pull each one out and squeeze the water out and form it in my hands to the shape of a Rapid Rooter plug and then poke a hole in it with a chopstick. The Root Tech gel I use I dilute it a good 30%-50% with water cuz it's too strong and it gives me twice the amount of gel for my money and speeds the rooting process for me. Then it's time to dip my cuts and stick them in the new "Jiffy Plugs" I have waiting and I make sure to smother the stem in gel and squeeze the Jiffy really tight making sure no water drips out anymore and I've found this to be PERFECT moisture for cloning. The dome also has a tiny gap on the sides that I thought would mess things up but it doesn't it's actually also PERFECT humidity IMO and I think the tiny amount of air that gets in helps adjust quicker when taking the dome off cuz I don't need the dome after 3-4 days if I want but I leave it on for 7 or more cuz of how warm it keeps the plugs cuz I'm seeing roots in 6 days on some. I use a 1tsp medicine dropper that you find in the pharmacy at Raley's or Bel Air or Safeway and it's perfect for watering the clones cuz they only need 1 1/2 tsp of water each and this makes it easy to measure and squirt the plugs cuz it's like a mini turkey baster
bad shot I know but theres the dome lol
2 trays after domes were needed, but that's my new cloning station on top of my flower cab
roots after 6 days on some and the rest by 12-14 99% success rate also
Here's a shot where you can see the custom Jiffy tray I make to fit in the ziplock container that holds 15 Jiffy pellets
That ladies and jointalmen is how I get down with cloning these days, and to have a every week harvest I cut clones every 7 days running 2 trays at a time staggered a week apart cuz they take the 14 days to root fully and so far this is working out great for me!
