Taking clones

On topic-honestly nowadays I only take cuts of what i need-because i get 100% success rate-but it came with a cost. First, I put them in the diy aero cloner with full strength UC roots and hormex for 5 days with brand new neoprenes. THEN I'll throw them in jiffy pucks that I soak in a diluted mix of fresh aloe vera juice(I have the plants) compost tea, mykos, and azos. I first dip the cutting in an aloe vera pup and gently scratch it in there while soaking juices. Then I can completely leave the dome alone for 5 days without even opening it. Then I damper off the next few days slowly opening holes in top. I dont use heat mat anymore, just throw them on the floor of veg room. And then, and only if I dont see any roots at this point(the stubborn ones) I'll go ahead and plant the jiffy anyway in a solo cup with a plastic fork jammed in there and make a teepee with a sandwich bag for a day or two. Then I'll damper off that by then stabbing holes in the bags for a couple days, then remove completely. I'm telling you I've had 100% success this far, with done probably about 100-150 at this point. Its the best "set it and forget it" method I've found with the highest success rate possible.

Cuz both methods have their drawbacks...aero cloned you have to closely monitor water temps, solutions, ph, etc. Also have to monitor for pathogens or molds, etc. Clone domes have drawbacks to as far as when to water, how much to water once they dry, etc. Not to mention I've never seen success rate in a dome be more than 85%(if everything goes right) plus again, you have to babysit the fucking thing after 5 or 6 days.

It all depends on how much you're willing to risk. I got a buddy who just throws them in coco in solos and puts them under a dome and gets 75% success and hes very happy with things

jus sayin'
It depends on your region too ime. When I lived in CA I never had a problem with cloners. Then i moved to u.p. mi, and after about a week they seem to get the brown slime no matter how clean everything is or how much pool shock, enzymes, h202, etc you add. I was talking to people at my grow store who all have the same problem and blame it on all the logging that is done up here, saying theres contaminants/pathogens everywhere. Which has led me to do things the way I do now

IN my neck of the wood is a lil tougher with cloners temps fluctuate alot and air is 10 RH

Is there a reason why you take cuts in flower then re veg?
Yeah I get power clone bushes .
