Hey everyone, this is my first post but I’m deciding to post this because I couldn’t really find any solid information anywhere else on this. But what I’m talking about is taking a cutting from your cannabis plant and getting it to root, but what if you don’t have rock wool? I was wondering if you could start a clone in coco and perlite, evidence saying it’s possible but not the best, I decided to give it a try and it worked out very well. With this way I’ve noticed I can get the clones to root indoor or outdoor (because I only have 1 indoor setup so if it’s in flower while I’m making some clones I have to leave them outside). But basically you start a clone like you would putting it in rockwool, solid top, 45 degree cut, take off lower nodes and dip in rooting hormones. I then stuck the clone into a solo cup with about 1 part perlite 2-3 parts coco ph at 6. I then put a humidity dome over them and put them in a shady spot outside otherwise they’ll wilt and die quickly, and if indoor try not to give them too much light. I’ve noticed with the coco you only need to spray the clone 1-2 times a day max with ph water and cover them with a humidity dome with some vents open so the clones don’t rot. In a week I had root development strong enough holding the clone into the cup, another week and they’re ready for transplant. Hope this helps, respond with any questions because I’m typing this baked as hell so I might have left something out. But I also noticed way less transplant shock with this method!
