First off - calm down. LOL Then go to the FAQ section and read about clones - don't just read up until where you stick it in the rapid rooter, read the whole fucking thing. Then you won't be making the silly mistakes you are making.

Lower branches are great for clones. Some growers claim they are better than the upper ones.

I soak my rapid rooters overnight - or a few hours - in clonex @ 1/4 strength then let them drain for a while before I use them.

Think about this - at the outset, your clone has no roots. What good is it going to do to give them a tspful of water every day?

Mist your cuttings with the 1/4 clonex solution. Close the vents on your dome. Moisten the rapid rooters when the appear to be drying out - about every three days or so; more once the roots come out. Take the dome off the tray a couple times a day to give the cuttings some air. Mist them when they appear droopy. Open the vents only after roots appear.

The big trick here is to keep your cloning environment moist, not wet. Moist, the roots will grow. Wet, everthing rots.

Like Rizome said, the best clones you'll ever get are the ones you forget about and leave alone.

Good luck!!!

PharmaCan Reviewed by PharmaCan on . My first cloneing attempt. I just started 12 clones today. I took them from 6 plants. 2 each. How long does it usually take for them to start coming back from wilting? These little guys wilted within minutes. This is my first try at cloning. I am using rapid rooters, with cloning jell. For the water, I put in half strength clonex, hygrozyme, and Pot of Gold. all of these i put in at half what they said to use for clones, I then put these in a clone dome, and put a t-5 light over them, with the vents half open on the Rating: 5
