I am new to cloning plants and everytime I have failed miserably but I can grow great dank from seeds is there any tips an experienced grower plz and thank you I need all the help I can get
This isn't the thread to ask for a tutorial on cloning, but I will give you some pointers on common aspects that cause clones to fail. Be sure to keep everything VERY clean, wash hands, wear gloves, use clean utensils, etc. Don't allow temps to get over roughly 80 degrees, but don't let drop below average room temperature. 75 is a good temp. Don't put the rooting clones under intense direct light. Only enough light to keep them alive - and this is where I think a lot of beginners fail. It only takes a small amount of constant ambient light, like a weak CFL or fluorescent light a couple feet away, just to keep the plant alive. High humidity improves your clone's chances of successfully living and rooting, so I recommend a clone tray/humidity dome. Some people use RO or distilled water, but I use straight tap water with great success, being as it normally has chlorine to help kill bad bacteria or potential mold. Take clones from a healthy donor plant. Use a very small amount of cloning gel... like seriously just a very small dab. Too much gel causes stem rot. When taking the cuts from the donor plant, immediate dip the cut end into cloning gel or get it into water - as taking too long at this step causes an "air bubble" to form in the stem and greatly reduces your chances of successful rooting.
You can search this forum, as well as the entire internet, for really good cloning tutorials, and I highly recommend doing so, and finding a method that looks easy and practical to you, stick with it and master it. My solid way of getting 99% success rate with first sign of roots in 7-8 days is rockwool with humidity dome, but there are a million ways to skin a cat.
Also, think in simple terms, everything I just told you are great guidelines, but cannabis is a very easily clone-able plant... Just to get an idea of how easy exactly... Take a cutting, stick it in a cup of water and put it on a counter near a window/window sill, and see roots in a couple weeks. Not foolproof and not a recommended way, but just to prove a point!
Good luck man.
And just to keep this thread on topic, I've always had great success cloning BOG strains, always very easy to clone!
