    Root/Clone horemone in cubes

    So i was watching some videos about growing and cloning and i had a thought. in addition to placing your clones immediately into rooting hormone, would it be benificial to have the rockwool cubes soaked in a solution of rooting hormone and ph'd water? or would this just be a waste of hormone? my thinking was with rooting hormone mixed in with water it would distribute the hormone throughout the cube, giving an extra boost to the young clones?

    Thoughts? :hippy:

    Too much hormone isn't good- you want your clones to have some hormone but not be drenched in it. Hormone DOES dissipate off the stem itself onto the surrounding material, and I've put a few drops of leftover hormone on my plugs before, but as with all things- don't overdo it!
    Once the roots form and go off in search of food and water, you're all set.

    Root/Clone horemone in cubes

    I posted this in my grow log. I thought that I'd share the post here.

    I cut two from each of the AK-47s this am.
    I soaked ten peat pucks in a solution of water and Strive-Alive B1-Red. I labelled each of the donors with a number and labelled sticks for the clones. At the ready I had a siccors, a razor blade, water solution, cloning gel, chop stick and muffin tins.

    I cut two lower branches from a donor plant, placing them in a cup of solution. Then, removed excess leaves, cut the stem on a 45Āŗ angle with the razor. I then touched the cut to a paper towel before putting it in the cloning gel.

    From there I put the cutting into a peat puck where I had poked a hole with the chop stick and gently pinched the opening shut.

    I then added additional solution to the tins and sprayed the cuttings with clean water and slid the tins into plastic bags with a wire support to keep the bag off the cuttings. I placed these off to the side of my light fixture for now. I'll be moving them back to the bench for 24 hour light from a flourescent or perhaps a CFL.

    Any remarks, suggestions appreciated.
