Try rockwool
I've heard that does not work at all.Try rockwool
i know right? how does that hel stimulate root growth?I've heard that does not work at all.
its not about stimulating root growthi know right? how does that help stimulate root growth?
and how is that different than soil?its not about stimulating root growth
that's the rooting hormones job the rockwool is just to help it stay moist and dark and give the roots something to cling to
almost fried mine thanks god i adjust them everyday. if you ut blood/bone meal in the soil, why do you need nutes?i would say try to stay sterile. that means use rockwool. or a rapid rooter plugs. or a 50/50 perlite/vermiculte mixture. tap water is usually okay because its been treated to resist bad micro growth. you can use filtered water also (i prefer) but then it doesn't hurt to add about 10 drops of hydrogen peroxide per gallon. skip all the mychorizhae... skip any nutes... don't get Miracle Grow perlite as it has added nutes.... soil can harbor all kinds of crap. All they need, as someone already said, is a clean environment where the stem can stay in contact with a moist/damp (not soaking wet) medium, where air is still available as well. If you clone in a glass of water then you want to add water occassionally or stir up the water to increase the oxygen in it. Humidity domes make it so that you don't have to mist your clones as often. If you aren't using one then mist your plants 2-4 times a day with pH nuetral water with little or no (ie; 5-10-5) nutrients at about 1/10 strength or less. Some say any nutrients will inhibit root growth, but i tend to beleive that very light nutes just keep the clone healthier while it is inevitably growing roots. Expect roots to take a good 2 weeks. By then you should have some good root growth, unless you manage to fry them in the first few days![]()
the reason i dont use soil is i use coco right through out the grow as it has a good water retention and always stays fluffyand how is that different than soil?
You should get rid of the bone blood meal, soil ect and use vermiculite or a low neut soil.i've looking at the growing faq i'm using soil and exposing deeper layers inside the stem han't worked. niether has creating a little greenhouse. i use take root, grainular mycorrhizae, blood/bone meal, perlite, organic soil. i let the soil stay damp/dry side
are you sure?(about the mycorrizal) because i bought this shit offline and it specifically says "rooting gel" on itYou should get rid of the bone blood meal, soil ect and use vermiculite or a low neut soil.
Part of rooting is to encourage the plant to root and the bone blood and microzial stuff is just encouraging the plant to not root.
Also use new tender shoots and not old woody growth for cuttings. It takes longer to root at low soil temps.
vermiculite, water, light, humidity, dome.
The rooting hormone is to prevent fungial growth......so .
mich fungi help the plants after it has roots not before.
But blood meal is notoriously hot, and can fry the plants, which is what's most likely happening. Mycco is fine to use for clones, once the roots forms the mycoo will begin to colonize it.You should get rid of the bone blood meal, soil ect and use vermiculite or a low neut soil.
