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?

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.
[attachment=o201172]
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.
