First attempt at cloning a success!!!!!!

[katyowns]

yes, just enough to get the leaves wet and put mist on the inside of the lid

Well Katyowns,

Congratulations are in order. I've been growing for years now never been able to constantly clone till I bought a cloning machine. Oh well. Now your going to be living La Viva Loco

I by no means can claim that my method is the best, and I think there's better places to look, but I'll tell you anyways


.....


At about 11-12 days the roots showed up.

I must be a stoner cause I obviously wasn't thinking right. It says at in the original post that the roots showed up at 8 days, I just remembered it taking longer, sorry!

Hey I have some clones also and Im just as Happy too . seeing them live after a weeks time is awesome. :thumbsup:

SO I did the same method except I dipped stem directly into Rootech gel for 30 seconds and inserted into peat pellets with a little water at the bottom of tray, and I have dipped in anti wilt but will buy a container tomorow and will mist them and lid along with letting them breathe daily.

Cloning a success for me!! My second attempt was perfect, I just had to follow some simple guidelines. Instead of a dome, I used Antiwilt, cut branch with a new cleaned razor blade, dipped into root gel for 30 seconds and placed in soaked jiffy pellet and sprayed daily and I really had to watch water level in the container the clones were in. I believe it took 14 days to see roots, so I planted them already. Pics later

The accomplishment you feel when you succeed at something like cloning for the 1st time is awesome!

Well done!

I see a little stem purpling on your clone. Mine did that until I started putting a very weak amount of nutes in my clone watering solution.

Jiffypots behave similarly to rockwool cubes in terms of their water holding capacity. Overwatering would be a problem in jiffypots as much as it is in rockwool, but if you got roots in 10-11 days, you're doing pretty well on keeping the watering in the 'damp' and not 'wet' range. You might find some useful cloning tips in this photoessay on cloning in rockwool.

The only thing I don't like about jiffypots is that they're made of compressed peat, an organic material which can rot/mould as well as break into little bits. Not so good to have bits of stuff floating around in a recirculating hydro op.

I just noticed this reply now, a year later, but..

I never had a problem with peat getting into my hydro bucket, I used crushed lava rocks under the peat pellets and it protected the water perfectly.

I'm not going to say my method is the best, but it's certainly worked out very well for me.
