I got lost. Took cuts, then days later took them again. Having been in water. Whatever that means. I'm unsure where the day counting begins.

Any feed before the half strength at the first watering? This is where I notice some difference in what we do, that has significance beyond the drier substrate. I feed from the off, as I don't expect to see them again until rooted. I know this is very wet, and air matters a lot. After 2 weeks my water must be low on oxygen, a key ingredient. Aeroponic like treatment gets these fast numbers. The water maintenance. Them coco-sponge blocks are worth a few days compared to soil/rockwool, though people do mess about with squeezing rockwool to gain a few days also. It's labour intensive though. Where-as the coco sponge can just be watered flood and drain, and not be waterlogged.

One near insanity I see, is cuts in clay pebbles (online), misted from below. The feelings of insanity might be all mine, but does that really work? It seems impossible, when people want to stop air being taken in. The root zone is simply humid. Somethings not right in that picture.

The only problem I ever had taking cuts was using old clonex, they all died. I now keep it in the fridge.

It’s not difficult to clone weed regardless of the method, I get the same survival rate in compost as I did using those plugs and compost is free.

What made the biggest difference for me was preparing the plant before taking cuts, not so much the survival rate as the vigour of the clone, the difference is huge.

I remove fans leaves and new growth from the node I plan to cut through, wait three days, then take the cut. The stem fattens up significantly, you get a sturdy vigorous clone every time with this method.

Yep it’s not rocket surgery
