Clone successfull?

[ToKnoIsToGro]

I was wondering, if a clipping is put through clone proced. and the next day looks fantastic (green, strong, turned to face the light on its own), would it be safe to say it has a good chance of making it all the way? I would think/hope so.

make sure you mist a few times a day untill it has roots

yeah, it is under a humi-dome which is rinsed with hot water and put back on it daily. Day 3 now and it looks great. My friend tried to pull it out of the rockwool gently to check for roots, but it didnt wanna budge so he left it alone, as it indicated it was rooted in.

you should be able to see some roots at the base of it in the rockwool when it is ready. also they will start to grow out the bottom of the rockwool indicating time to plant

Just mist! Don't water!Capilary action will occur and may drain off the rooting hormone!So.... Just mist!

mist with nute water in a spray bottle? or just pure water in the same bottle?

Thanks!

Pure water that has been pH adjusted.

Not everyone mists. If you're in a humidity dome, you could rely on that to keep the air humid. Or put a small tray of water in there with it.

There's a school of thought that says misting is counterproductive to rooting- the root-or-die approach.

Or you can use wilt-pruf.

My method is simple and seems to work about 90% or more. All i do is cut a bunch of holes in the top of a 5 gallon bucket (you can definitely use something smaller). Take the round neoprene inserts that you can get at most any hydro shop and fit them directly in the holes. Take your cuttings and put them in the neoprene holders so the tips of the roots are submerged in the water. The more the water is bubbling from the air pump the better. Wait for 5-20 days (very strain dependent). That is it, i don't use any gels. I don't mist them or cover them with humidity domes. Just stick them in there and check under the lid every couple days to see who has roots. Also mediumless which is tough to beat. Nobody wants to buy medium all the time.
