Is a Unrooted clone good to be put in organic soil?

Hey whats up everyone,

i got a question i got a clone Shes going on 3 weeks now i got her in my home made bubblepoinc system i made, she still hasn't formed any roots not too mention i didnt have no rooting gel/powerd for her When i got it but shes beautiful Still and thriving!!! but i was wondering i just picked up some Peat pots and a bag of organic choice soil mix would it be ok if i put her in some of the soil mix and peat pots and keep the humidity the same and keep it moist i dont want my girl to die but then again i dont got no nutes but plain water so im thinkin the soil mix would help her?? im new to the whole cloning thing ive been growing from seed soo any info i get would really Help so thanks again!!


i will upload pics when i get home so you guys know what im talkin about!

thank you

I'm an organic guy & here's what I do.
Take the cutting of choice, scrape off a good amount of the lower portion of the stem w/ a razor, dip it in rooting compound.
Straight into party cups w/ pre-moistened super soil, I then set them in a tupperware tub using another to form a lid.
I take off the top container a couple times a day for 15 minutes or so & after around 2 weeks - Viola *roots*.

Sweeet thank you for your advice bro, i scrapped the lower portion of the stem bout a week ago cause i didnt have any rooting get...can i still put it in the soil mix i was thinkin the organic soil would help her form roots compared to plain water.

Thats pretty much what I do too. Cutting in rooting compound, into a clear plastic cup of moist light warrior. I put another clear plastic cup on top for a humidity dome and in about two weeks I see roots get to the side of the clear cup and transplant into bigger pots.

so yeah, a cutting can go into organic soil.

Yeah, I have been getting good results rooting straight into Fox Farms Soil and it is kinda harsh..

Wow Soo i guess im gunna try and put her in some of this organic mix and see if She Forms Roots i really wish i had some rooting gel or compound but im hoping this soil mix would help! Oh i took 2 pics of my Girl i can see that from the lower leafs turning color is a good sign? due to the fact its making or starting roots so ive read? i Really thank you guys for your input it really helps!

what size light is she under? i found that anything more then floros.. ends up being to much light.. and then the plant trys to grow instead of root.. i know a friend who roots his clones on a window sil.. on a non sunny side.. so it just gets ambient light.. nd they root soo much faster for him.. i use floros.. and they work beautifully.. i have done with and witthout rooting gel or hormones.. and they still root.. just takes a little longer.. and they dont get as big as fast without hormone.. but its deff not needed .. what are ur temps in ur bubblecloner.. water temp.. and whats the room temp.. and wat lighting?

I just did this very thing last night. My clones didn't have roots after 2 weeks so I put them in soil, keep US posted on how yours turn out, ill keep ya posted on mine

you clone in super soil ^_^

the light i have on her is a 45 watt is that a little too much? i have a florescent light laying around thats around 19 watts is that better for her?? good question cause i would of never known ive been using the 45 watt the whole time i got her the temperature in my grow room is always around 70-80ish should i switch up my lights?


i am going to transplant it into this organic soil mix if all are saying is GOOD then ima try it!

I generally clip the leaf tips off about 1/2 way to reduce transpiration.
But that's me.

Soo would you put clones into straight organic soil with out rooting gel/powder? thats what im planing on doing

I've never tried it like that, but I've had cuttings root in a cup of plain water after I forgot about them on a window sill.

If it's alive and turgid where it is in the pebbles, I'd leave it there.

Organic soil has a tendancy to create fungus around the roots quite easily in some circumstances, so if the plant likes the pebbles, let it stay there till it's actually started growing in size.

Add a few drops of nutrients to the water, and give it light when the sucker starts reaching-out.

GOOD news!!!!

When i was transplanting her i noticed She has 1 tiny Root Forming soo i got her in the soil mix now its been about an hour or 2 with the humidity dome on and she seems to be doin fine i dont notice her dropping or wilting at all im gunna see how things go from here,
id keep it in the pebbles bro but i dont got no Nutes what so ever but the water.

Also I i changed the 45 watt light i had on her and i put my florescent lamp i had i noticed little burnt tips on the leafs i think it was cause the light i was using was too much??

thank you all for the advise i appreciate it.

As was mentioned before, diffused CFL lighting is what I use.

Yeaa dude im really hoping things Go good from here on out, im hoping she starts to form more roots eventually im still happy and shocked to see that she had 1 root today!!!

UPDATE!!!


ok so i transplanted my Clone Last night after what i read based on the comments i got, and she has 1 root so far i am hoping That She will Thrive in the New soil mix i got her. she seems to be adapting to the soil quite well,

but then again im thinking if i should of just left her in the bubbleponic system i had but with no nutes but water i can see why she was taking so long.
