i’m only saying that because the last few times i’ve done it and last time, the branches that i broke i let sit for 2 days in water and those clones were growing new leaves in just a couple days after planting as i go from cup of water to the medium they will be growing in (after preparing the clone and using rooting powder)Do you add any peroxide to the water the cuts sit in?
When I came here 4 odd years ago I was getting 5-6 cuts out of 10 growing by just sticking them in the dirt and keeping the soil damp......I learned a few new methods and I got down to about 2 out of 10 growing, I built a bubbler and I got 6 out of 10....MY last batch I got 9 out of 9 by sticking them in the dirt dipped in clonex.......
I' try to do it quick by dropping them in water asap after cutting and keeping them there until I clean up the bottom and dip in Clonex........I was led to believe doing it quickly was to prevent air in the stalk and doing the cleaning up under water was ideal......
.I like your idea of letting it sit for a while so any hydraulic movement in the stalk would suck water not air....like a break line not wanting an air bubble
no peroxide… just my tap water..
