I make all my clones with "old fashioned water cloning" method. I do it because it is so easy and hassle-free and have a very high success rate.

Here is the method I use I place the clone in a glass of distilled water, the clone stem is held in place by a piece of aluminum foil with a hole poked in the middle of it for the stem to go through. I just cut the stem at an angle and done worry about taking off any of the extra leaves. I dont use a humidity dome , I dont use any root hormones , or wilt spraiy I just use plain h2o.
I keep the clones in a 1'Lx1'Wx1.5'H veg box with 1 6500k 26watt cfl , and 1 2700k 26 watt cfl for a nice spectrum.

They grow roots in 7-10 days with this method. Mist the clones 1 time a day , and change the water in the cups every other day.

Once the first roots start forming then either place them in a small pot (if using soil) with a high moisture retention (they will need high moisture for 4-5 days after transplanting into soil until they grow enuff roots) Give them a light fert (1/4 stregth) of vegg ferts after 4-5 days in the high moisture soil.

Or place them in your hydro medium, with a low ppm fert solution.

Also I thought I would add that You will see the bigger leaves on the clones yellow and some will die because there being used for food for the plant , it will keep doin this until the clone realises it needs to make roots to live.

I like this method because how easy it is to do , expecially for people who only need a few clones now and then. Wilting dosent occur at all after the first day
(you dont need a humidity dome) and it has a very high success rate out of the few dozen clones ive made this way ive had a 100% success rate cloning with this method.

Different Method on Cloning I cant afford to buy all the equipment that most people have for cloning, but someone told me that if i take off a cutting, i can just put the stem part where the roots will grow in water for a few day and roots will grow. does anyone know if this method is possible and how the results turn out?
