Root riot plugs in a clone bucket and general cloning

[cherokee420]

Was wondering, can I put my cutting in root riot plugs, and insert those into net pots which insert into a clone bucket or will it absorb too much water and drown out the clones before they can root?

So far I've just been sticking clones into the neoprene inserts, and waiting like 14+ days for some good roots. Sometimes I get crazy roots (like 1.5ft long), sometimes barely any at all. I've tried only using clone gel, i've tried some Big Foot in the water as well as clone gel and some Superthrive, this method seemed to work the best.

I grow in soil though and sometimes when I transplant from the bucket cloner to soil cup, the next day I have a dead shriveled up plant. Any pointers to hit 100% success rate? I like the fast rooting of the clone bucket but transplanting to soil is tricky..

I put cuttings straight into soil. I use MG seed starter with some added perlite. In a solo cup wiht holes a bottom. Then I throw a baggie with a small slit in it over the cup (plus mist into bagige). Place on a seed mat.

Near 100% for me..

try running your sprayer at 15 on 15 off, keep water temps down for best success, don't use rooters in cloner.
