I can't see how you could use a RR in an aerocloner. It would just fall off the cutting's stem, and totally defeat the function of the aerocloner.

I've made quit a few clones and, as a rule, they do tend to seem like they aren't growing for the first week or so after they are planted. I don't think it's shock - I think the plant is putting all its energy into growing roots.

I never get transplant shock - never, ever! Just last night I transplanted six plants right before I went to bed. This morning the plants look like they are loving life in their new pots. There's not even a hint of stress; in fact, just the opposite. I let the plants get a little root bound before I transplant them and they perk up as soon as they are in a bigger pot.

I can't imagine why you would be "...trying to force a nice sized root mass into a little hole made in the soil." Make a bigger hole and gently put your soil around the roots.

PharmaCan Reviewed by PharmaCan on . Cloning w/o hormones? Is it possable? If not, are there any subs. besides hormones to make it sprout roots? Just a question ive been pondering. Thx for the help in advance if i dont get back to the thread tonight Rating: 5
