here is the tried and true method to get nearly 100% success. First off, don't use tap, either R.O. or store bought water. Get yourself some Grodan cubes (the ones that come 45 to a pack are a perfect size), clonex gel and clonex rooting solution, razor sharp scissors, clone tray with dome, florescent light, rubbing alcohol, a big bowl to soak cubes, and a cup to have water in. In the big bowl, have water with Clonex solution mixed in to soak cubes (Clonex is 2 teaspoons per quart, so 8 teaspoons per gallon). Soak cubes in solution, then squeeze excess water out. The cubes should have some water in them (dont squeeze them out too much). Put cubes in tray.
Now take cuttings from strong mother plants with strong branches. Cut about 3-4 nodes down from the tip. Quickly remove excess foilage aside from the top 2 or 3 leaves/nodes. immediately put the cut end into water and recut the end under water at a 45 degree angle. This will ensure there is no air bubble in the stem which will cause the cut to die. After cutting end under water, immediately remove and dip into clonex gel. Have a little bit of gel in a shot glass so you don't contaminate the whole bottle. After dipping put in cube and repeat the process. Once you have taken your cuttings, spray the inside of the dome with water and put it on (i keep the vents closed, some people say leave them open, but i find the cubes dry out too quickly if you do that). I then put the dome under a compact flourescent in a small hut. The hut stays warm from the flourescent so i never use a heating mat. you want the cuts to stay around 80 degrees. too cold they dont root, too hot they rot and die. if you use a mat, make sure to use a regulator for it cause the mats get too hot on their own and will surely kill your cuts. I agree with the guy 2 posts above that said that the flourescent creates the exact amount of heat needed, so I say skip the mat. Keep the clones misted, though I only mist the first time. I never take the dome off until about a week later when they have rooted, though some people will say to burp the dome daily. It's up to you, but just check on them daily to ensure the dome is still humid inside. You should get 100% results if you follow these directions to the T.
oh, and may i add that if you follow this, you can skip ph-ing the water. I dont own a ph meter and never will. It's not necessary unless you are growing in hydro or aero. Just make sure to use store bought or R.O. water, No Tap!!!!!
you should never squeeze rockwool
it crushes the air pockets
shake the excess water from the cubes

Do u guys know of a good powder or gel that prevents mildew? I heard u could find them at nurseries....
tap water is cool if you know the amount of dissolved solids and ph. but if you dont want to check those store bought is best. just because your ph is cool doesnt mean your ppm's are cool. i used tap water years ago in an area with extremely hard water, and even though my ph was on point it killed my clones, which is why i just use filtered or store bought mountain water. as far as the two teas. per gallon, i havent checked the ppm, though ive been doing this for years and rarely loose a clone, no ph meter and i use the two teas. per quart. i gently squeeze my rockwool, though i didnt know about that, so thanks for the advice. on the other hand ive been doing it this way for years and have never had a problem. i always get extremely healthy clones that root in 7-10 days. anyway, im sure people all have their method, but i can attest to getting nearly 100% and very healthy clones every time doing it this way.
I have had slot of issue in the past but now I've been taking rookwool cubes and I put the cutting in them use my own container that twist and lock spray with water and set on heating pad in 15 days my roots are to the bottom Atleast 3 inches outI have tried many diff ways rock wool, rapid rooters, DWC, soil still 0% results.

It's packs way to tight sum times clone don't last longWhats Wrong With Soil?
