Thank for the info, I have read "Oldintheway"s methode as well as Al B.
Looked to me you had a little different and easy way there.
I'm a newby water guy yet old fart at durt farming. Hydro is a very interresting thing for me. I have a RN tub 18gallons and two 6 inch stones. Guess I need two more stones and another pump. I miss the part where the water is to bubble to the point of splashing up to the stones.
But ya live, read, farm & learn!
Peace
Bro I also grew in soil for awhile before switching over to DWC. The biggest reward comes during VEG time I think. Its like putting a super charger on ur car. I still have a plant flowering from my last grow at this moment.I harvested my DWC plants a lil over 2 weeks ago and im already smoking out on the harvest.
Yes the clone in a cup method is the simpleist.Cut @ a 45 degree angle set direclty in a cup of water. Move to the scrape spot.Take the clone and lightly remove the outside layer of "skin" over the bottom 1/2 of the stalk.Dip in cloning solution of ur choice. im using superthrive.dip for 30 seconds.I place in a small plastic cup cut to size to fit " hold up" the fan leaves.My clones are bigger now so i dont have to cut the cup.
I put only enuff water in the cup to cover the stalk i scraped.About a half inch to an inch and just change and refill it daily. Im getting clones in a week this way.
What ive done with OLD in the ways method.
I flip my plugs over. Use a shishkabob skewer and place my own small whole in it. I take my clones the same way for the cup. After i cut i put them in water and get set-up to scrape,dip and place in the plug.
I used superthrive this time.
Each cutting I get in the plug goes directly into the tray. And then i take the next and repeat the process.
It took me prolly a half hour to do my first 4 hah.
I just did 10 this way in about the same amount of time.
From There this time i went with 6 hours of dark.Then on the mat and under the dome.I think the trick is just making sure u cut,scrape, dip and place in plug the proper way.
I used a small aquatic cool blue aquatics lamp both times.Directly over the top of the dome. I cracked the dome Twice a day.To water with 5-10 ml of water each time.
I got roots this way in 4 days.It took the other 2 another day to catch up.
Hope that helps. Thats my entire cloning process right there.
