20 years ago I read about root cloning and I quickly reached into my bucket and came up with a handful of roots. I tossed the dirt and roots in some damp promix and thought nothing more about it.
A month or more later I opened the jar and there were little green leaves growing out of the roots. I thought it was just keen and, having a full garden, I then tossed the clones in the garbage and thought nothing more of it.
3 years ago I tried it again, with no good results this time. I thought about the two, their differences, and came to the conclusion that the second effort used roots from an air pruning pot and the first successful try got root tips from the side of a 5 gallon bucket.
.
For this experiment I used roots from spare clones from my bubbler cloner.
I cut the roots into 4 inch lengths (those that were long enough for two 4 inch roots) and laid them in layers of Pro Mix.
.
There's 35-40 root clippings in this 2 cup jar. I put it in a warm dark drawer and I'll check it in 3 weeks.
