Hi,

I'm not the worlds greatest cloner by a long shot....... but I can do it, and the more I try different methods the more I come round to the simplest method of all! Take you cutting, make the angle cut and drop it into a cup of water...done! Change the water every few days and within 14 days you will have roots.

Recently I tried Root Riot cubes for the first time, the reason was that a friend who grows hydro wanted a couple of cuts.... so I bought them, put my cuttings in..... and a week later they were all dead! Entirely my fault I know that but I was used to placing my cuts in soil and spraying with water etc. So back to basics.... my wife says " I'll show you how to root cuttings", shes good, if shes out and sees a shrub she likes she clips a bit off, brings it home and roots it...never fails! So I take 6 cuts from a Bubba O Kush clone give 3 to her and I have 3. We both agree to root in water, I dip mine in clonex and into a mug with about 2" water ! She puts hers in a small glass on a window sill in full sun! But theres a secret ingredient right! she wont yet tell me what it is... but I saw her changing the water, leaving the cuts dry for a while before refilling :-)

8 days later, guess whos winning?.... Yep..not me! You cant see the fine roots in this shot but look how healthy they are.

i once made a bubble cloner, which was super cheap and easy. easy as drilling holes and adding a good airstone. no dome or anything and i have roots in atleast 10 days. i've read several people don't even use root tone or anything for that matter. just straight up water and they still are getting roots

if ya happy with the way ya doing the clones ...but ya just worried about the temps ...you can always just cover em with a plastic bottle or something to up the temp .
