Just put em in straight water. It'll take an extra week, or maybe you should DIY an aerocloner.

yea this kid's got one with a white widow plant he's about to sell me with his aerocloner

so is it hard or impossible to just start a clone in a decent soilless mix? Or should it stay in water for a week/two then go into a soilless mix?

I've rooted in soil, no problems.

i've been cloning in soil and my first batch was pretty healthy, the second batch i planted 20 new clones and none survived after doing all these "advanced" cloning methods they were from the same strain

My condolence for your losses. I am still a newbie, so a soilless mix sounds nice to me. Thanks for the input.

coco? i couldn't find vermiculite at home depot

 

[xogenic]

i got mine from b & q in the uk you will find it in any garden store or you could use perlite

vermiculite


perlite

its cheap i buy a bag of them both £4 each and it will last me 3 or 4 grows

do a mix of them and coco under a plastic see through box i leave it in my flowering room and they probably root in about a week and a half to two weeks

i just use a cheap rooting hormone from my supermarket its worked so far

 

[gangjababy]

don't use blood meal or bone meal in the soil when cloning. It sounds like you fried them.

 

[demonofthefall0116]
