Im going to be cloning here soon and ill be putting the clones into jiffy pellets my problem is that anywhere i go i cannot find rooting hormone. so i was wondering if i just take the clones at a 45 degree angle and trim the outer layer of the stem about 1/2 inch up and plant it in the jiffy pellet will this work? what are some other things i can use for a rooting hormone? :leaf:

Yep will definitely work without. And as long as you use a dome and keep the cuttings nice and humid, they won't take long to root.

I always used rooting hormones and have been prissy over the procedure.
A few weeks ago I topped a plant and for a joke, took that topping and shoved it in a pot of moist soil.
That clone hasn't yellowed and seems to be growing better than any other clone I planted.
Misted 3 times a day for 3 days and left it to die but it's very alive.

ive got rooting hormone in powder form right here, i dont really see any difference using it when cloning in soil, it takes about 3-4 weeks.

Really stick a cutting in a cup of water and take a little care of it for a month (fresh water, occasionally mist it) thats all it takes for a cutting to start rooting, i know from experience cannabis starts rooting after 1 month but my Amnesia Haze clones within a week so its all genetics but max is 1 month, then it starts mutating very rapidly.

Good Luck & Peace!

so your saying the rooting hormone is making your plants less durable?

Not sure.

This clone hasnt seemed to grow yet so I don't wanna be getting my hopes up.
Just it looked the greenest out of many other clones I cut.
It may look nice but take longer to actually take root.
