I was reading up on the subject and found some pretty interesting "information" The reason i quote it is because im not sure it works or not. Thats where you come in. Can honey be used as a cloning agent, ive even herd that willow tree bark could do the trick. Is any of this true? Are there any other substitutions to hormones.

Thx for the help:hippy:

Honey and willow water (soak shredded twigs from any member of the genus Salix in water for 24 h, use in your bubble cloner) are not widely used since the hormones you REALLY need are not present in either of those substances as far as I am aware, at least not above trace levels.
Go buy yourself a bottle of dip-n-grow and save yourself the ehadaches, and play with the willow water after you know you can clone with the cheatin' juice!
Also, I'm merging this thread with the other- please try to stick to one thread per general topic. It's easier to respond.

I use a bubble-cloner, with Schultz Rooting Powder ... mine are well-rooted in their Rapid-Rooter plugs at 5 days, 6 tops ... :smokin:

hehe i must admit, ive seen pics of your bubble cloner and mine is very ghetto compared to yours. i kinda just slapped mine together, but it gets results.

My bubble cloner is a Folger's coffee can. Doesn't get much more ghetto than that.

hahah as long as it works for ya Mrs. Greenjeans. Sorry if you have said it before but what are you growing at the moment?

I've just been reading the past 3 editions of Urban Garden Mag and the bubbler seems quite appealing to me.... I think I might build one as the parts are readily available and there appear to be more pros than cons...

bubbler users: can I take my rooted clones and transplant them to soil? what medium/method is best for this..?

This Is Not A Hi-Jacking!!!

Keeko: right now I've got 3 strains going. Pattycake is a powerful sativa dominant crossed with Dumpster. Lillbilly is a short potent indica dominant crossed with Dumpster. And Mash is Mazar crossed with Hash #1.

Home.Grower: I'm a Dirty Grrrrrl. All my rooted clones go into soil. My bubbler medium is a silica cat litter that I get from Wal-Mart for 1.97 a bag. It looks like wee tiny chips of glass. It's not a gel...I can't describe it. I put a link to it in my old growlog. It's chemically inert. It's basically just to hold my cuttings in place.
