tap water is fine for clones...ph doesn't really matter until they need to uptake nutrients for vegetation...any clean water will do. What method are you using? 1-2 drops of superthrive or Liquid karma is best

I have used botanicare cloning product's, with good success.

some people go with 1/4 strength nutes, some swear against any nutes.

Greatest success is achieved using some type of rooting hormone/gel or Pro cloning solution...goodluck, I will check back to see if you have any question's.lw
