When you say they won't root, how long are you giving them before making that determination?

two or three weeks then the leaves turn yellow, and wilt.

Hmm.
DIP the cut stem in gel... make sure you pour it into a different container to avoid contamination.
You don't need to cut under water, but you DO need to use a CLEAN razor blade and get the cut into gel IMMEDIATELY

i read your cloning method from 2005 stinkattic i havent been letting cuttings soak for thirty seconds and i havent did what you said about cutting the leaves and that being the first place roots will start, and today i will go buy a heat pad or whatever there called, ive seen them at the shop.

yeah, it's important to get a cut node dipped and under the RW or Plug. I ripped open a few clones to see, and she is right, that is the first spot of growth.

when you say gel its cofusing because im using botanicare powerclone and its like water but i figure it should work. all ive really done is just put a few drops on cut site. but i will put magic clonig juice in a bowl and submerce the whole damn cutting. just joking only where i cut it at.

Maybe just a vial or something so you dont have to waste soo much and you can get the clone dipped in deep.

Yeah I use a 10mL vial.
The gel is great (clonex, mmm) because not only does it have the hormones, it also seals off the stem from possibility of embolism, and stays in gel form, keeping the right amount of moisture there.

2005!? yeek I'm still learning in 2007... I was a nOOb back then... hahaha
