It's about time for me to take some clones. I was wondering as to y'all which method has a higher success rate? I'm not stressed for time so quicker method doesn't really matter much. Also, I got one plant that topped itself really young. Like after the first node. The one branch that was growing is a monster. Like I'll have 3 main colas from that. Think I should just let it grow or cut and clone?
 
I had a better success rate with my aero cloner after I got it dialed in...
I prefer rapid rooters over rockwool but both work well, with the right moisture levels...
They can hold too much water and rot cuttings.. some ppl clone large cuts some use bottom cuts..
Three colas are better than two.. imo

bubbler is the best for me

I have had good success with bubblers but Rapid Rooters work 100% for me.

How much do rapid rooters run? I was asking cause I have some rock wool and I can sacrifice one of my airstones from the grow to build one. I did wanna check out those rapid rooters though. Just like stick it in them and throw them under a dome?
 
I think I paid $16 for 50 rapid rooters.... I turn em upside down and make a new hole so they stand up..
Just make sure they aren't too wet, they're like sponges.. cut em, dip in gel or powder, put em in..
Humidity dome, low light you should have roots in a week...

Bubblers is best...

time is not for you but for the cuttings to grow rootlets

I have used by homemade coffee canister bubler to great effect in the past but moved on to a homemade 4gal square bucket areo cloner as I could cover the top with plasic wrap. Easy to use and a tad bit faster than the bubbler.

I never had any luck with clones until I started using a bubblier. now with that and no rooting compound (just water)I have a 75% success rate.I prefer to grow from seeds but use clones for experimental or comparison grows.

The cloner holds 10 gallons of water, I mix in-
20 ml per gallon clonex liquid
2 ml per gallon rapid start
1 ml per gallon florablend

I have find that in to strait coco is the best for me. Its not the fastest way but one of the best the clones are just so heathly. These ones are 2.4 weeks with 100% success rate.
I do have a turbo cloner but just find the clones are so much nicer this way.DSC01513.JPG DSC01514.JPG
