Good morning fellas,
I've cloned about every way imaginable over the decades.
The most determinant factor I've concluded is cuttings should be taken from plants that are a minimum of 8 weeks old for 100% success rates.
Just my 2 cents.
thats funny,my in laws cabin in colorado we would stand out at the fire at night ,next thing you knew something be rubbing along your leg,look down damn coon standing there,my father in law feed um dog food ,so they came by every night and hand feed them ,i got a damn possum in the trap as i writeI used to love raccoons until I tried to chase a big one off my deck after he scared my cat off and ate his food. Went after him with a broom and he grabbed it. Chased me into my cabin and rattled the glass paned door like he was going to come in and eat me. I was scrambling inside. Funny now. Not at the time.
I use inkbird and propagation mat so my temperature is always where I set it. I used to use 80° but I've dropped it down to 78° to see if it makes a difference this run?Biggest factor I find is root zone temps 72-75f, a room temp of 80f usually gives me that. That's pretty much it and with my peat pellets making sure I have 100% humidity. Soil packed tight to the stems. Very little light under 5k lux preferably around 2-3k, mine right now are about 1k. Never had issues yet but I do know some strains take better than others.
I believe it is true, however I also cut the tops to keep them in check because they get too tallOk. I have no idea if this is true but i read in a few grow books that the lower branches will convert to rooting faster and more vigorously than upper branches that are focused on new leaf growth.
Also read that best results are on nice young flexible stalks. More difficulty if woody or stiff.
Other than that i copied the older women out here that have amazing veggie gardens. They grow massive tomato plants man!
i grew grape tomato last year,much more use,year before we canned probally 15 jars of roma and beef steak.im gonna wait to end of feb to start my tomato this year,planting to early gives me a huge veg ,so much hard to get in there to work at suckersI believe it is true, however I also cut the tops to keep them in check because they get too tall
Yum..! Tomatoes!! I've got a freezer full of red sauce!I'm already looking through seed catalogs for this year's plants, think it's going to be Whoppers again and maybe try an heirloom variety this year too?
Look at these Beauties! I donated a couple hundred pounds to local homeless shelters last summer and still had more than I could possibly use!

Most of my plants don't go 8 weeks in veg, If any cutting isn't rooted in 14 days they get trashed.Good morning fellas,

This is what 21-25 days from rooted cutting does for me in coco coir.

And they end up like these.

Exactly what I do. If I want 2 clones, I make 4. I keep the best 2 and toss the rest. Someone once called me a liar cause I said I've never lost a clone. I havent. Cause that's how I do it. If it's not taking its in the bin, no time for it to die. I could spend time and energy trying to nurture them. But fuck it. That's why I make double
You're going make me cry. "I promised myself I wouldn't cry." Thing of beauty. Too bad no smellavision or better yet tastervision.Here are some more pics of the Aroma x BLT I took the cuts from. Love the structure for single plant harvests. Now we wait to see if the buds are as good.

Not too shabby for 6 weeks veg under 18/6 with fluorescents and almost 2 weeks in 12/12 under the HPS 600’s. Thats what i need. A nice vigourous fast plant.
But like the toxic blue I had running. She could yield almost a half pound of lemon pledge smelling fire. This one better have great flowers too. Her parents were both great seed after seed.
I like it.Now here is the second Chocolate Diesel s-1 From seed. Much better mono harvest plant structure. Could fit 5 under a 4x4. Big fat stem and tight branching. She had at least doubled in size in stretch and has grown huge leaves. This plant is quite different from the branchy thai leaning one last seed. We will see what we get here. Wasnt planning on cloning this one but she might be perfect for a tent grow under a 315 cmh i was thinking on.

Nice tomatos man, you squeeze them into sauce then freeze them? Your grow any other vegtables aswell?
