If it was a TRUE experiment. Then you would have a constant (no gel) and THEN the two variables (separate gels) and if done properly i thoroughly believe there won't be much of a difference between the three.
Plus if they're not actually side BY side there are unknown variables. (I.E. what if it is warmer this week than last. Or rainy.)

Do you have 3 seperate cloners to do this TRUE experiment?
I have to wait to do all 3 seperately.
My rooms are a constant temp and humidity.
You keep trying to control this experiment between two gels and turn it into a gel or no gel experiment. Im willing to bend 100% and do that experiment too, but you'll have to wait till my moms are ready to take cuts from.

I understand. I build them so if I need another boom easy peasy. Actually just retired one to become a rez.
Sorry if I was overly critical. But for it to be a true experiment we should be able to say this is better than that and here is the control for proof.

look what I found! I bought this bong online and for some reason the vendor sent me 2 of them. I used one daily and love it and kept this as back up lol. i would mention the vendor but don't want to upset the powers that be. if it wasn't for this thread i wouldn't have looked around for my cloner and found it

The clones from the Clonex gel and Clonex solution are doing MUCH better than the Clonex Gel and Olivias Solution.
I will be doing the RX Green Solutions products as soon as the GG#4 clone mothers are ready to take cuts in a month.

ok, so it looks like Clonex wins!!?

cloning isn't that hard I think most people make it harder then it needs to be. I just cut dip in gel and call it a week and I have roots

P-choP, it really is case-by-case. If you luck out with a good water supply (treated, specifically) with low mineral content, then you may think it's ALWAYS easy... BUT once you've moved around as a grower or get infect w/ a pernicious pathogen, you chnage your tune.

I have always used distilled water but that's it. if I had plants to clone I would do some testing of various methods
UPDATE:::::
UPDATE:::::
FINALLY! Sorry it took sooooo looooong to use the Life products from Green Solutions.
Heres some results so far: cuts are from Sour Dubble S1's.
DAY 8 ~

i have tested Clonex against several other brands and it completely surprised me because the Clones clones rooted much faster and much better. It was night and day, you could see the exact row that I stopped using Clonex just by a glance at the roots. I used to think they were all the same thing, just a gelatinized IBA, but Clonex is the only rooting gel I'll use anymore.

PS, I take ALOT of clones. Has anyone else realized the benefits of Silica for cloning?
You see, the talk about the water only was for the purpose of science. A scientific control is an experiment or observation designed to minimize the effects of variables other than the single independent variable. This increases the reliability of the results, often through a comparison between control measurements and the other measurements.
Your controls must be the same and account for everything, using different genetics for testing the gels won't make the cut. Viable results would be obtained by using the same genetic mother for all gels and all further testing. You know, design the experiment to minimize errors.

I will be taking cuts of the GG#4, Sour Dubb and RoadDawg, and putting them in the EZ-Clone 120 using the Life products as well, so that will happen.
I just wanted to see how the Clonex did vs the Life products. Both have similar results, but the Life products are cheaper. Water only with no gels or nutrients will yellow out the plants so thats not gonna happen. Clones still need nutrients, even trace amounts, so they dont take it from the leaves.

a low dose of flower nutes works just as well as any cloning product lol.. and is a lot cheaper.
Right. ^^^
I dont know how someone can clone with just water only. They need to eat, or they will eat themselves to get the nutrients needed to make roots.
