Well yes indeed I did scrape the skin off the tiny last bit of stem.
I also put a slit into the bottom about 1/16 of an inch long (tiny) starting at the tip of ur 45degree cut and going up the stem a tiny ways. That's when I scrape the small layer of skin and quickly dip and stick. Haha
I am careful not to tip the clippings upside down as not to get air bubbles up in the stem, which can cause issues later. I normally prefer powder to the gel so I think its personal preferance. I did observe quicker root development when i used dirt with the powdered hormones, but that was a diff strain as well so idk. Im sure youll do fine, I did my first cloning attempt and did ok, some didn't survive the transplant though. Also I wasnt as carefull as not to tip them upside down like i did this go around. I cut the clippings off, letting them chill all on the floor and what not. I did a lot too though, about fourty eight (that's all I'm allowed )
So i don't remember the exact ratio of ones that survived or didn't, but I can tell u that they all had sprouted roots.
I think I'm hinting that my personl preferance for cloning is dirt...
I just love the progress of my dwc plant so I did some in rockwool and will be doing three dwc buckets instead of one. (But that's a whole nother grow log ill be starting in the near future. ) woot woot!
What strain r u cloning?


Oh yeah, took about 13-15 days for me to notice the tiny rootshoots from these rockwool cube clones. Id estimate about the same if not a cpl days sooner for the dirt, but idk really...
prettygirlsmokes420 Reviewed by prettygirlsmokes420 on . PGS420 gets bored again... So as I've been talking to my friend, it was suggested to me that I "lollipop" my dwc plant. I was unsure of this method and honestly had no intentions of doing it. But seeing as how I sent it into flowering yesterday, I like the way the plant grows, and I was bored as hell; I decided to strip the bottom six inches of growth and make as many clones as I could from it. I did pretty well but I would like some advice. Does everybody trim the bottom growth before flowering? Here's some pics too.... Rating: 5
