Experienced Cloners, please please help.

[gypski]

I have 10 plants going right now, all females, and the day before i put them on a 12/12 cycle, i cut 12 clones. Im using "rootech" cloning gel. it says to dip the cutting in the gel, then plant it. but when i dip the cutting in gel, and plant it, it dies within 5 hours. What am i doing wrong?

I never dip mine in the gel. I take some out and put it on aluminum foil and then I can coat the stem by rolling it around in the gel. I also use round rock wool plugs that are split so you can position your cutting without losing the gel cramming it down a hole!!! Then use twist ties or 1" rubber bands to keep the plug closed. :thumbsup:

Different strokes, for different folks.
