I use the cheap cloning trays, ive had success with gro dan trays as well. Some people root in coco. I use a dome, tray, peat plugs and plain water no hormone. And i get 95% success rates.Hey tall question for you igs what's the best way to root some clones. I don't have a fancy cloner or nothing like that I have some macroplugs and some great white shark. I'm omw to the grow store now to see what they have. So any suggestions???

Aight so I don't even need to buy anything good shit. Thanks guys ya da bestest yo.
Lmao but imma just stuck then in the plugs wet with GWS
Just to make it easy for peeps. I haven't watched the video.check out cloning for dummies on u tube
I get 100% to root this wayJust to make it easy for peeps. I haven't watched the video.
@SeaF0ur
Just to go a lil further bc I'm sure nobody will mind. Now I have done the rice in a container before with my leftover rice when making lab and i burried in a grassy spot and the topdressed all my outdoor plants over the summer...its not so easy to find nice grass in NY in the winter. For the next part you talk about...when you dig up the container with mold, you say to add the same amount of sugar or molassas...since the mold is not a liquid and not easy to measure i assume you mean to eye it out? After that you say to drain the liquid after it emulsifys...how does sugar and mold turn to liquid? is that just something that happens? bc in my head soggy moldy rich and suger don't produce much juice but i have never done this before so i dont know much....if you can please clarify a lil i would really appreciate it! Thanks homey
and @happy b
a grow team?? Hell yes!! Cannabis Warz 2016....I hope this wont be like gym and i get picked last...lol
I have never seen this done with cannabis, that is interesting. I'll say a couple things, but FYI, this is coming from fruit trees (not a euphemism, actually fruit trees) so some of it may not apply. If you are interested, I'm sure you are going to google it anyway. But they use it not only to create more trees, but some trees won't bear fruit for years, so they can get you a tree much closer to yielding fruit as the cut will be on the same genetic timeline. Other trees this technique doesn't work, e.g. apple trees (iirc).
The only problem I could forsee, he has basically handled by growing this out so long (look at that main trunk, holy cow) is that you need a fully formed outer layer, like a bark you can peel. Or something that will peel, bc if you scrape too deep it can fail. It's kind of like clones in that way, if you scrape too much off it won't work. So, supposedly, you want the bark material to prevent that. I don't know how you would do it on a cannabis plant. I've just never grown it to the point where it has bark. If you don't have a bark you can peel some people use a food peeler. If you search on line, you can find a specific one that people prefer.
If you have a local tree nursery, they have a product for it instead of using the tin foil etc. I'm not sure if they sell them actually...I see them on the trees, but not for sale? As I think about it, it would make sense that they wouldn't sell them. But you may be able to find them online. It looks similar, just not aluminum foil. I have no idea what they are even called. But it's got extremely sticky tape (extremely) on both ends, & the bubble itself is like a nylon material. I think they way (at least those ones) are designed to work is you wet them occasionally. I've only cloned/cut a tree once to try this & I don't know if it failed or not, as I gave up on it. It took a long time (very basically, I did what Seafour pictured). Anyway, that is how many nurseries make a lot of their smurfs, basically, they clone or graft them.
@SeaF0ur do you know how long that process takes to root? Like how long till vigorous growth starts to happen? It's just curiosity, I don't think I'll ever do it. I'd be really curious if he did the whole plant & left a little growth at the bottom to regenerate, which would happen faster...
I think I might try regenerating on the next round. In theory, it seems like having all those roots already developed would make things go fast...
I use root riot cubes.
Mix up some Great White & squeeze the cubes to get them loaded with the Great White. The cubes should be wet, but not soaked.
That's all you need to do. I just did about 50 cuts this way & every one of them rooted in about a week. I can't take the credit for the simplicity, people here pointed out that you don't need all the expensive cloning products. What I described above will work fine.
Edit** The best money you could spend at the store for your stuff would be to avoid products (except for the peet plugs)...you need gear...one of these...

Get the tall dome, but not the above one. Get the dome that has the track for the T5 light (you want the light too) This is a picture of what you want for the dome & light
So, to do it best, i would grab peet plugs, a heating mat, the tray, the insert to hold the cubes (unless it's built into the tray) the dome with adjustable vents & a track to hold the T5, & the T5 figure & bulb. It will probably set you back $50-$65 or so, but it's well worth it.
You might think that's too much $, you don't need all that space etc. Get the bigger tray & dome, you will use it, & it's a nice rig. You could spend less, but this is the best way to spend that money.
I prefer to root in rock wool or straight dirt I use some cheep as powder from.home depot it cost like 3 bucks I cut my clone with scissors then make a final 45degree cut with a razor and dip in powder then I put that bish in my medium and under a dome with a heating pad in get like 99%success every time usually in like 7 to 10 daysHey tall question for you igs what's the best way to root some clones.

Do you think spectrum has much effect on cloning?I personally have a cheap 20" T5 from home depot hanging from the ceiling on shoestrings that I slide 2 domes under...
I use what ever usually some florescent I've even rooted cuts in my windowDo you think spectrum has much effect on cloning?
Or do you just go with whatever's in stock
Yummy lolnow its just a poop soup in a makeshift cow stomach....
I can't disagree with you there. I have to take a barbecue type skewer & open up all the holes first.I dislike the root riots... the hole is to small and knocks off your IBA powder as you insert the cutting...
I'm sure there is some data somewhere that quantifies which is a better cloning spectrum, but when it comes down to it, almost any light will work.Do you think spectrum has much effect on cloning?
Or do you just go with whatever's in stock
Spectrum does play a role imo. I've found clones like the lower end of the kelvin spectrum. Same as bloom. In saying that I've also blasted them with light and they did fine. But I usually put one single 2700k CFL over my clones.Do you think spectrum has much effect on cloning?
Or do you just go with whatever's in stock
can you get sick from listening to the same songs over and over and over? I'm mentally stressed or ill because the keep the radio on the same two stations and they both play the same 20 songs or so...
Yay!But I usually put one single 2700k CFL over my clones.
