ok. Yes I am a bit new at the whole cloning thing too. But I've wasted some money on expensive cloning gels that MANY referd me to. Ok so. Before you go buying stuff. The EASIEST AND CHEAPEST way to start clones if you have never done it. MAINLY FOR SIDE CLIPPINGS. TOPS ARENT INCLUDED NOR EXLUDED This may or not work well with Tops. I've been have trouble with my top but doesn't mean it's cus of this method yet. First thing Is to take your clipping branch and slice it off I slice it off with a razor blade flush with the drum. The dip it in some water imediately And trim off the extra lower leaves but leave one set of Fan leaves closest to the top so the clone can pull in the energy stored in them until the roots starts and can pull in nutrients for the plant Ok so after you dip in water and let sit there while you trim it up. Dip it into the ROOTING POWDER. Then stick it down in some loose coco. Dry loose coco so it's very airy and Lois for the roots to easily push out through. Then water it with Bottled water at a normal PH I like using bottled water. Less work and seems to have good results. But I'm sure any PHd water will do fine. After a few days I like to check them and see how much powder is left after spraying the leaves and watering. If it has no powder left I put a bit more on sometimes depending on wether the stem is still smooth green. Or it's getting bumpy and whitish yellow with a hard feeling. Roots should come through shortly after. "Not all of them do this" Just keep an eye on them. Make sure your spray is perfectly PHd water. Or you will kill it very fast. The leaves can not handle high or low PH. Since I use bottle water I don't know what range it will handle. My PH meter broke and I knew the water where we buy 5gal for $12 for the container and water and the $1.46 to refill EVERYTIME. Can't beat that price for watering with PHd water without having to check it much. Anyways. I tried other ways. I even tried a Cloner. It misted the stems and roots would show. I hated it but I was using hard water also and that was why they weren't rooting Climbers work good. If you have MOney or the stuff to make one the. Great. By all means. Try both ways and see which you like. Clients are IMO the most effiecent way to clone cause you can make it clone however many you want at a time. The coco is a bit more tedious and you can plant as many as you want but they will be more spread out. So more lights need spread out. But if your a newbie. WHEN YOU CUT OFF ANY TRIMMINGS ALONG THE WAY AND YOUR MAYBE GET SOME to Root. What's it hurt to try and practice with small little branches that really aren't usually rooted. But why not. Ya get more plants out of each seed The small one I posted a pic of has one small root popping through. It actually is the second time this root has grown . I broke one off when I wiped some dirt away and then it grew back again anyways in a day or two and the. I checked on it and took the picture. I don't know if anyone clones these small little branches. But let me know if someone does and if there are any problems with growing it out. I wouldn't see why. May take longer in Veg tho. But there you have it. CLONING MADE CHEAP AND EASY. I tried Clonex and another gel and I didn't have any root at all. The guy said soak them in it. So I did. And not one rooted I was determined so tried a second time with a few clones and same thing. None rooted. So I tried some powder and Coco. Every single one of them has rooted. Except for the Tops. I have t been having very good luck with those so I'm thinking of trying to cloning Gel with the tops to see if that's why. It may be water tho. THIS INFO IS NOT MEANT TO MISLEAD ANYONE. Not my opinions. Just something that has worked from experience. So here ya go. Any newbies need help. Try it
