Clones for hydro?
I know this is probably one of the single dumbest questions anyone's ever posted, but I did look around and I couldn't find anything on it! I've been growing for awhile and have shared my clones over time...I'm growing by myself now and pruning is producing so many clones that I've decided to really try and make an effort to expand that area of my op.
Here's the issue though...I've donated to dispensaries and co-ops, private patients who grow, etc. but I just recently had the first person ask me for clones for hydro or aero. I usually give people clones that I've put into dirt in Solo cups.
How the heck do I prepare clones for hydro? I don't know how to deliver them to the guy. I'm sure he doesn't want them in dirt....help! :thumbsup:GirlsGrow2 Reviewed by GirlsGrow2 on .

Beer bottles are ideal!
The brown ones are excellent cloners.
Fill them with fresh tap water daily.
(The Chloramine acts as a fungicide and prevents "slime root")
Hold them next to the plant, then snip n dip.
Put them under low light and hand them out when they root.
I used to do them this way for hydro.
Went back to coco but I still clone in water, then pot 'em when ready.
Aloha,

Reading comprehension problem, or humor?
The beer bottle IS the cloner.

Or, Champagne bottles for elite cuts.
And Dasani water bottles wrapped in duct tape for common clones.
K.I.S.S.

Clones for hydro?
Maybe on your end? Guess I could have been MORE clear, but I thought I was clear that normally I present clones in solo cups filled with dirt. I was asking how to DELIVER them to someone who wants them for hydro or aero, NOT dirt.
I wasn't asking how to turn a cutting into a clone, sorry. I know how to do that and thought that was clear when I said that I've done it before. Looking at my original post, it does seem clear that I've done that before, since I said I did. I have an aeroponic cloner with 120 spots in it. I'm not gonna use a beer bottle when I have that.
But thanks for trying.

Or Google "50 mL screw cap centrifuge tube PTFE". Perfect size!!! "

Clones for hydro?
Thanks, pushit. That's exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to know if people generally expect them to be presented a certain way, etc.
The confusion came in when he said "The beer bottle IS the cloner" I don't need to clone in a beer bottle, they're already rooted and ready to go. I figured I'd just stick 'em in a solo cup with WATER instead of DIRT, but I wasn't sure and I've never purchased clones before or grown hydro.
So yeah, I was serious when I said that presenting a clone that I've sold in a beer bottle isn't exactly my style. I've been in business for over 15 yrs. (not this, but other industries) and I just tend to do things a bit more officially and professionally. I wouldn't be impressed if I showed up to buy a clone and it was in a beer bottle. *shrug* All the dispensaries I've seen that carry clones have them in Solo cups and that's how they requested that they be delivered as well.
As for WHO the guy is who answered me, I honestly don't care...and not in a bad or disrespectful way, but in a true "people are people and no one is any better than anyone else" way. No, I don't know who he is but he doesn't know who I am either. I interact with people the same way, regardless of whether they are a bum or a CEO. I don't think my response to him was rude. He told me how to clone and that wasn't what I'd asked.
He's also the one who started with the insultsI don't have defective comprehension or humor, I just didn't comprehend it or find it funny that someone told me to clone in a beer bottle when I was asking for how to transport clones.
Hope everyone has a great day. I'd hoped this forum would be helpful, fun, etc. but from all the "banned" people I keep seeing and stuff, guess I'll go back to just inactive participation. I'm not interested in chest beating or being insulted.

I wonder if you could use, maybe should say reuse prescription pill bottles.
