I personally dont like cloning in soil but it works i like rockwool cubes i have a better success rate with rockwool.cut the stem at 45 degree angle cut bigger leaves in half at an angle dip stem in clonex insert in soil mist leaves with water. give soil a very light watering only where the stem is in the soil.dont water the whole pot if its a big pot.cover with humidity dome and your done mist every day.i like rockwool because it has a better water to air ratio. Good luck hope they root for ya

The reason to clone in soil as your medium, is you plant on staying in soil...
It is 1000% easier to transplant from soil based medium to a soil base...

  • If you are going hydro by all means don't use a soil medium as your clone preference...

    Staying in soil... then a soil clone is the way to go....​

never 12 12 , only if you want to flower. you choice 18 or 24 hours. most commercial growers run well the ones i know run 24/7 even in the clone room small as possible light . a 25 watt cfl will do just fine . or led . . don't suggest hps or mh bulbs it seems to slow the rooting process down. there is not a proper answer to the 18 or 24. just personal preference and your set up. my set up the sun is always shining.

get a clear or mostly clear solo cup to make individual domes if you want. just cut the cup so it fits into the other container or goes over it. i even put them over plugs. you never want them to dry out keep it moist at all times (the dome or whatever) but you dont want to drown the plant.

oh kay., oh kay got cha. this is what i have done CAM00645.jpg the dome actually doesnt fit because 2 plants are to tall so i have it in a slant position.

the light im using is a 24k single cfl but its facing towards the and letting the light bounce off the wall instead of direct light to the clones.

any helpful suggestions about to what i am doing.?

If they aren't wilting then excessive humidity is just asking for issues.

Keep soil moist but not sopping wet. Limit transpiration with a dome or antiwilt.

I grow in soil but clone in rockwool...never had one single clone that didn't survive...when roots pop out of the rockwool, just plant the rockwool in soil and water as normal...completely cover the rockwool in soil and your so done...humidity dome is very important...or some kind of propagation...Im with ya on this one Detroitmeds...

you have way to much leaves going on there...you should have at max 2 nodes...the plant needs to concentrate on root production...if you have that much leaves, it will take super long for the plant to develop roots...the plant will be trying to make roots and maintain leaves at the same time...you want it to concentrate on making roots only...thats why most people cut the tips of the leaves so they dont grow...that lets the plant forget about those leaves and just develop roots...next time, take smaller clones...its not necessary for them to be that big from the start...check out some of my clones...120.jpg31.jpeg29.jpeg25.jpeg5.jpeg

The ones that are in the solo cup were transplanted when the roots started to pop out of the rockwool...
