Cloning without Hydro or Aeroponics?

[socaltay12]

I know it is possible and Ive read the method before but after searching the FAQS section and various threads I still cant manage to find it. Would anyone be able to either point me in the right direction on how to root clones in soil or just briefly explain the process and what products to use? Itd be greatly appreciated

Low success rate.But snip your cutting (clone) at a 45degree angle.right away dip into cloneing gel or powder and into soil.Poke a a small hole in the soil so you dont rub off the powder or gel.I tried this way with 10. 1 barely made it.After weeks none even had roots

I made this one for 30 bucks a cheap walmart pump,a couple air stones, alil tube, a container,and some neoprene discs.95%+ rate.

Check this thread out, The OP did it his way, and for comparison I did it my way on page 2.

P.S. On a side note, The night I cut the clones for my experiment I gave 3 cuttings to a friend with an areoponic cloner. I had him beat to ready to pot by 4 day's using the Clonex in rapid rooters method.

Cloning in soil is very possible with a high success rate.

1. Make sure the mother plant is mature enough to give clones.
2. Cut clones from the right area of the mother plant.
3. Re-cut the stem of the clone under water at a 45 degree angle so you dont get any air bubbles and maximum root development area.
4. Coat the freshly cut area in Clonex (the best Ive used) rooting hormone.
5. Plant in 'seed sowing compost' and place in a propogator that maintains a constant high humidity.
6. Keep moist and importantly - LEAVE WELL ALONE. Dont dig them up.. disturb them to see how they are doing, dont fiddle with them. They will look as though they are doing nothing. It takes 2 weeks or so until roots start to really make progress.

Good Luck!
