Different strokes, for different folks.
Or better yet, do it the old fashion (ghetto) way our grandparents did it. Take a clipping (clone) stick it in a glass of water deep enough to cover 1/2 the stem. Cut the lower leaves off so they do not sit in the water. In a couple weeks, presto magic....roots. This cloning gel / power and rockwool era is somewhat new age! :thumbsup:
