I've never been successful with air layering. I've got this flower tree in my yard that I've tried to air layer clone multiple times to no avail. I would be curious to see how it turns out for you.

back in the day(70s) when I was doing guerrilla gro's I did quite a it of air layering on outdoor plants
out in the field. it was pretty easy i had near 100% success rates,
i used a gallon freezer baggie and string, sharp knife or razor for scoring the branch and rooting compound
and the most important thing is using sphagnum peat moss, not the regular peat.
sphagnum peat is nice-n-airy and holds moisture.
soak the sphagnum in a bucket of water and cut your gal bag along the seams on the sides of the bag down to around 3 inches from the bottom , scrape the branch(s) on 2 sides a few inches long,
put the rooting compound on it,
squeeze excess moisture out, stuff some in the bag at the bottom uncut part,
put it on the branch and putting more sphagnum while wrapping the flaps on the baggie around the branch making sure you have as much as the bag will hold with a decent amount of overlap on the baggie flaps so peat out and you have a good seal to keep moisture in,
tie the top and bottom off with string,
griggsy has a great pic of what the whole tamale should look like :-D
except a lot bigger, abut the size-n-shape of a football is good.
in 2wks or less you'll have roots, make sure you have plenty of roots for the limb size
before you cut the limb from the plant for planting.
make sure the peat stays moist, my string on the bottom of the bag was a tad loose letting water runoff,
on the top i used a slipknot so i could open it up to pour water in and tighten it back up.
you can get these huge 60ml syringes at the feeds stores for cheep and put a small length of aquarium tubing on it, these are Perfect for doing this, just cut a small hole big enuff to put the tubing in and you good.

here's a pic of the sphagnum peat you need to use for best results,
BTW, sphagnum is Excellent for rooting cuts-n-clones

you may have probs using rockwool cubes for air layering.
it looks too wet imo and being so small keeping constant moisture content is hard,
also too much water and you can't shake it out

Nice write up, thanks for the info man.

It's funny at first glance that glob of peat almost looks like a bud.

so how long have you been using megacrop?
I'll be needing to top off on the nutes soon.
seems to be loaded with all the bells and whistles
silicon, oligard saccharide, in. and many others that you'd need a whole cabinet to store all the bottles.
the sent me a freebie starter pak, I tried it last nite ,
the way it smells you can tell it loaded with goodies.
it has a smell just like a shallow water well we have here in florida,
lol stanky azz water, a sulfur smell like you ate a dozen pickled eggs last nite washed down with a case of brew,
farts the next day are very special indeed lol :spew:
and this fertz nails it.

Lol yeah smells a bit funky. I've only done a couple grows with it so far but no problems besides needing some cal mag. I like 2-4 grams for veg and 4-6 for flower, usually don't go above 5 grams ever dtw peat/perlite

I'm used it in veg @4g Gal.,
and PH'ing it out is a breeze,
with my tap water it's pretty close for what I need.

I don't think it has lots of salts in it, it doesn't take much at all using PH up
