I feel lacking... Question about cloning.
Cloning is easy, brother..
Get a nice slab of grodan rockwool cubes...
soak it for a couple of hours in a mildly fertilized (go with 1/3rd strength flower formula..or purchase one of the many products for this purpose..I use b-cuzz root stim and I innoculate the slab with piranha powder (beneficial bacteria)..make sure your mixture is PH adjusted at 6.0)
The biggest mistake folks make is to leave the rockwool far too wet..squeeze the excess out to the point where the cubes feel almost dry to the touch..turn the slab over so you have the widest part of the cubes on the bottom for added stability..dip your cuttings into a rooting hormone (I prefer the powder..but the gels work too) use a toothpick to make a starter hole (so you don't bend the stems while trying to stick them) and fill that slab with nice healthy cuttings!
Spray the cuttings once..close up the dome..and leave em alone for 7-10 days...
Another big mistake people make is to overspray their cuttings..this can make the environment too wet..and if the temps are too low you may get damp off or botritis attacking your clones before they can root up..
After they are all rooted SLOWLY get them used to the ambient humidity levels by opening your dome just a bit and letting it stay that way for a couple of hours..go to the dairy queen and get a nice blizzard or one of thei delicious milkshakes..by the time you get home your new babies will be ready for the harsh glare of the HID lamps..
I use an anti-transpirant wax before I plant them in the big containers..but that's just me and I like the added insurance..
Once you master cloning you become the envy of your friends and neighbours..it's funny how simple it is..yet so many folks have problems..and they are usually due to one of the pitfalls I pointed out for you..
Hope this helps..and have a real hum dinger of a new year's celebration!
Happy crops..
JohnnyJohnny Hempseed Reviewed by Johnny Hempseed on . I feel lacking... Question about cloning. I have researched and read many, mnany mixed accounts on cloning, and I'm about ready to go for an indoor crop. I have all the room I need (20x25) plus a large ventilation duct on either side of the room, one in and one out (of my chimney, should cover smell during flowering periods) and all teh soil, lights, and pots I need. But my question is not about that. It is about cloning. I am lost on the matter, so let me be short. I have only a vague conception of what cloning is, and no Rating: 5---------------------------------------
