Cloning

[stone_sensation]

I am wanting to clone in soil. In the FAQs there is only a bubble grower/aerothingymajig.

I have superthrive, clonex, root powder and ferts.

How do I clone them in soil, would it be better for me to buy some rock wool cubes?

What you would do is buy rockwool cubes and take your cuttings, dip them in your cloning solution and keep them on a surface under a humidity dome until the roots are coming out of the cubes enough for them to be just watered in soil, then you can bury them in your soil :).

Ok so my cloning solution is clonex and root powder? And could I build my own humidity dome?

[orangeman]

Well yeah, and I don't know about using gel and powder. I guess that could work but I'd just use one and stick to it. I hear Clonex is a very good product for clones. Just look for a Propagation Tray with a humidity dome.

I bought 35 rockwool cubes in a propagation tray. Now i need to find a humidity dome. I didn't know that the cubes go straight into soil lol do they degrade?

Also is a humidity dome just a big transparent plastic case ontop of a black tray? Because I'm sure I could make that myself?

go to b+q and buy a probagator a heated on


only use the clonex gel hold each clone in it for 15 seconds then place in pre soaked rookwool cube mist and put in probagator

how much are propagators?

I just looked on b&q and it says £50 i really can't afford that. Could I get a black tray and put a transparent dome on top? like the ones they use in kitchens?

[stone_sensation]

oooooo theres non electric ones for £12 I will have to invest in that soon:)

in the mean time if i were to shut off the fans in my grow room and just spray water on them would it be ok?

Stone - a plastic dome for the propagation tray costs $1.50. That's less than a quid man!

[stone_sensation]

where do i get that from? lol my rockwool cubes come in a tray, is that the right thing? or something else.

I just bought mine from the hydro store. There seems to be a standard size for the prop trays, like yours, and the dome is just a cheap plastic piece of crap about the same thickness as the top they put on an icee.

Go here (http://www.growersupply.com/humiditydome.html) and you can see what the dome looks like.
