I use an 18 site clone bucket. Make cuts, no scraping or anything like that, 45 deg. angle only. Let them sit in clonex gel for about 30 seconds or so and put them in the system.

In the system, I add bloom nutes to 400-500 ppm, adjust the ph to about 6.3 - 6.0. I also leave the bucket sitting on a digitally controlled heat mat set to 75 deg, which does a good job of maintaining the water temp. Light is fluorescent side lighting that comes from the lights I keep on the mothers. This will always yield rooted cuts in 12-16 days, even when I take cuts right from the top of the mothers.

If you can be patient, it's fun to not peek under the lid on the bucket and opening it 2 weeks later to find your cuts ready to be planted.

Happy growing!

Peace,

Farmer Rich
