Hey friends, I need your help. This is my second year growing and I have had some pleasing successes. This year I invested a few thousand in upgrades. Now I am ready to overgrow! The weak part in my game has been cloning. Although I have cloned around 50 so far, I have had varying rates of success. From 100% to 30%. I realized that heat had been a major problem inside. Was causing plants to prostrate. And I also had a over-moist problem causing wilt. Now I take care of the babies in my master bath where I can mist them several times a day. Here's what I am doing.

1) Leaching mothers few day prior to cloning
2) I use a dilute "Thrive Alive w/ B-1" and dip plugs.
3) Make the cut at 45 deg. and immediately put stem in Thrive solution.
4) Treat plug with "Clonex"
5) Strip the outer layer with 1-2 internodes to be below suface.
6) Place them in a humidity dome under a flouro.
7) I use a heating mat for starts to help develop roots quickly.

I have had ups and downs percentage wise, but I am convinced there is a better way. I need to consistently have about 20 starts a month healthy and ready to restock flower room. Can you suggest improvements? Anybody got any secrets to share?

Thanks All!
