Are you talking about growing outdoors, then after the plants go to flower you take a cutting, and immediately plant the cutting outdoors? Hmmm, probably but I'd scarcely say the yield of such a cutting would be worth much. I'm not even sure if it would root though since it would be concentrating so much on flowering.
That is the funniest Avatar and by far the funniest personal statement(Bio) I've witnessed to date!!Quote:

sorry about the avatar i just love that ugly
my clones are in rock wool i didnt get the ph down to 5.5 only down to 6.3.
i did soak them and i used liquid karma 2.5 ml to 1k ml.keeping them wet. under 24 hr light but i am not having the same fast process. i didnt use the rooting gel, is this why im not seeing the faster growth on my roots.
i would show you picks but there is nothing to see two weeks later.
thanks for the answer on the temprature, stinky:thumbsup:
There could be several reasons why they are not rooting well. 6.3 may be acceptable, but I wouldn't bet on it. Also, I hate rockwool. It's very difficult to keep the moisture level just right. RW likes to hold tons of water. Mine were always too dry or too wet, mostly too wet. You don't want your RW to be wet, you want it moist. Too wet and they will just rot. If you've got no roots after 2 weeks I wouldn't count on getting any. A rooting hormone would help but they should root without it as well. I like powders or liquids, since gels seem to seal off the cutting from all moisture uptake through the stem. Do you scarify? It helps a great deal. And no need to apologize about your avatar. Very different, scary, interesting.
what would the clones turn out if you just cut the clone off the plant and stuck it straight in the ground?
That works too, if the moisture in the ground is correct. Rooting hormones tend to help produce a bigger and better root mass though, which of course helps produce bigger plants, and eventually yields.
Very nice setup, I was wondering if someone had a link to a post like this that had a how to on building your own DWC setup, if so let me know please..

I am looking to start out with 6 plants :) I was thinking about grabbing one of those emily garden's or whatever it's called, would that be a decent thing to have sence it already holds 6 plants or would it be to close together..
