I made 2 Clones today from my Romulan. I put them both in RockWall After slicing the ends and dipping them into a root hormone. Here is what they look like:

Again, I am a Rookie at this and any critiquing is ok..
Thanks Again
I'm not necessarily an expert but that doesn't look like any rockwool i've ever seen.. looks more like soil.
also the plants will get 90% of their water from the leaves until they get roots, get a humidity dome over them
good luck!
I put the rockwool in the soil
Get that OUT of the soil and rinse it off. You don't put the rockwool in soil until the plant has rooted and can take care of itself. Doing what you did runs a high risk of rot.
You should look at what the more experienced growers around here have been using as cloning setups. Cleanliness is the single most important part of a successful propagation setup.
I've attached a pic to show you a typical one.
ok, im takin em out right now stinky
ugh I have no dome, any way to make 1?
if you have an old fish tank, you can turn it upside down (bleach first).
A tupperware works okay too, if you have one big enough.
i found 1 at my mom's house next door from my sister's "tomato" growing in the summer...hehe...tell me what you think

It can work but you will need to be extra careful because it is so short and you don't want the leaves in constant contact with a wet dome. You will be misting regularly, but try to mist the dome itself, in an area not touching the plants. Get the idea?
I'd also really clean that dome and tray carefully to avoid possible mold.
I'll wipe it every time i go to mist
some good advice goin on here... cloning is quite fun now I've gotten into it :)
Patients is a must tho as not to miss steps and stress the babies out.
A friend of mine often uses cling-wrap to make humidity tents when a propagator is just not big enough. That works just as well and can be disposed of if equipment has to be kept to a minimum. Though, heating/regulating the temperature in a home made tent can be a nice challenge when expenditures have to be kept low.
Good luck!!
I would mist every day, once or twice, with formulex or a similar foliar feeding solution.
would I also be able to grow seeds out of my rockwool? I found 2 seeds in a 1/4 of Frosty Snow I bought from a local club
So I Put The Clones in The RockWool in The Dome and I also put 2 more RockWool in there next them. I had been attempting to germinate 2 Frosty Snow seeds and it had been 3 days today already and no change in them, so I placed them on the RockWool. That was at approx. 10am Thursday morning and when I returned from work this evening at around 9pm, I noticed that 1 of the seeds had sprouted and its main root had went out and stright down into the RockWool's center. The other is still normal w/no change.
