Clones ?

How many roots should there be I'm using just water there are like three roots coming out. When can I plant them they took like two weeks just to get a few roots I'm not trying to wait that long

This is nice:

You don't need that many....but 2 or 3 is probably too soon.

Can we see a photo? I am not clone ninja.

Good luck,

JD

well only thing about cloning like that is the roots that do come out are acclimated to being in water and will die when put in soil (if your plan is hydro then never mind) they will eventually take off but it will add another week or 2

I have had 6 plants, 2ft tall in a dwc and put then in soil, didn't look good for a couple of days but it worked all of them made it and I got a good yield from them :)

Get a cloning dome, rapid rooter plugs and MX clone gel and you will have fully root clones in 10-15 days.

I would agree, with having them root in water I am wondering how they are getting O2? I do mine in Jiffy cubes, under a dome using a scalpel to cut them and dipping in a rooting solution. Then I spray the plants every day with pure water. 10 days flat you have decent roots coming out the jiffy's. Tried and tested method and probably the most used for people growing in soil or Coco, because it works consistently.

I have used jiffy cubes and I do not like them so much. I did some clones in rapid rooters and ran out so I used the jiffy cubes and the rapid rooters have full blown roots a week sooner.

I root mine in straight soil. I use fresh pureed aloe vera gel as cloning gel. Foliar spray with aloe. Once rooted (6days) I do a foliar with kelp. I have rooted in staright water and if worked in soil. But you have to put them under a dome right away and mist them and get humidity going. After a few days. The clone will acclamate to its conditions.
