Besides the obvious roots growing out of the sides of cubes, what other ways are there to tell if clones are about to root? Thanks for any info

new growth, leaves get a little shiny and more perky. Just happier.

all the above, and if you listen carefully the plant actually 'SCREAMS' when you pull her out to look at the roots ....!

As stated discolouring of fan leaves swelling at base of stem above cube/pellet looking happy and a little gentle pull on clone if it does nt wanna come up its started the process of making roots!!
Big tips-
be patient it ll work in time not in yr time !
Dont be sprayin like a mad man even at all direct to clones/mist ya prop lid !
Once ya cut I taken leave ya girl alone for 3-5days as she needs her peace !
Open slates on prop after the initial 3-5days for a hr and leave longer each day after till ya got roots !

The first indication that let me know that my clones will root in a "Cloner machine" is the stem swell up.

Leaves usually droop when we first put them in and then perk up... When they perk up I think it's safe to say they are starting to grow roots.

my clone machine mojo went away. Rapid rooters and a heat mat and dome are all I use now. Sanitary conditions are so much more critical in a cloner and I guess I'm just a dirty guy.

I was having no luck with any other method but rapid rooters have kept my clones looking 100% up to now still waiting for roots like but still im alot more confident about it working for me in rapid rooters
