Anyone Use Soil for Cloneing ?? If so i have a few questions :

[canniwhatsis]

you'll know they have roots when they start growing healhtily up top.

-shake

put them in a clear cup; with holes in the bottom & cut up the side

put that clear cup in a slightly bigger solid color cup (3 oz in a 4oz, with holes)

you can slide the inter cup out at any time to check the roots


I do this with 16oz & 18oz cups. Makes the first seedling transplant a breeze, when starting from seed. Enjoy.

+1 to BOTH!!

I got an AK-47 clone from a dispensary, it was just a shoot in a cup full of dirt.

It was in a clear cup,... so I put it in a solid black pot that shielded any new roots from light.

After about 4 day's I started to see growth up top, at this point I knew it was rooted, but there werent any around the side's of the cup,.... that took another 3-4 day's before I was certain it was root growth and not creases or discoloration in the cup.


I put a round cup in a square pot,... that blocked 80% of the light from hitting the roots,... but at the corners of the pot where the light could get there, the roots didn't grow in as quickly.

That clone was my only dirt clone,... but I've had similar experience with rapid rooters.

Ive put them in 3oz Cups , with organic soil. Using a diluted bloom formula to help root growth . Now my question is , how can i tell if the roots are infact growing ?? With rookwool and peat pucks you can just pick them up and look underneath to see. Seeing how im using cups , with soil ... I cannot look through the bottom. Anyone know how i would go about checking to see if my clones are rooting?? Looking for a way to do Rating: 5
