no. you can go to hydro store for 17 bucks, get a 50 site clone tray, rapid rooters or the imitation ones. and a clear dome for 6 more bucks.

Put all rapid rooters in the bag in closet somewhere for storage. use the ones for your clones, cut, dip and stick. for more info IM me

Make a 45 degree cut on the stem and scarify (scrape) the stem to expose the tender flesh to the rooting hormone. It will make it easier for the plant to grow roots thru the newly scraped flesh.

Either dip the newly cut piece into the rooting hormone or brush it on the stem. NOTE: do NOT just dip into the container as you will contaminate the gel/solution. Brush it on to the scraped root stem (like I did with a toothpick) or put it into a new container and dip it there...

Hello, is this cel necessary
Because, I dont have that..
PM ME!

MVP...........I agree with all your points except point 6. Use 10% food grade h202 instead to disenfect and kill any bacteria there may be. Your plants will love you for it. Add 1 tablespoon of 35% food grade h202 to 1 gallon of tap water, plus what ever nutrients you use for growth. Again your girls will love you for it. Doing it with Ease.

I have heard that Tap Water is better for clones.. as it has a small amount of nutrients already in the water.. vs RO water that has absolutley no nutes at all.. I also have found that peat pellets work best for growing in soil.. the pellets have enough nutes in them to keep the plants alive with tap water alone for the first few weeks while they root and get ready for transplant. I also dont dip the cuttings in water before the rooting gel.. seems to me like the gel does the same thing in preventing bubbles as dipping them in water first.. so I dont see much point to this step. I also have found an "Assembly Line" technique to work quite well.. Cut the clone on 45 degree angle, quickly trim the bottom couple of nodes and then dip it in the gel right away.. all of this happens within about 5-8 seconds and then its in the peat pellet. I have also found that making a slightly bigger hole in the peat pellet (I use a chopstick) helps to keep the rooting gel from getting wiped off when I stick it in the hole. The peat pellets are soft enough that once the cutting is in the hole.. you can squish it back into good contact with the stem and keep the rooting gel where you want it! ;-) Once all the cuttings are in the tray, I mist them with tap water and snap the lid on.. I havnt cut any of the leaves.. but I may try it as the leaves seem to get a little crappy at the ends anyways! I put them under CFL aquarium/plant lights on an 18hr cycle, and open the lid a few times a day to blow inside and move new air around the plants.. and mist them with water again. I am definately not the most experienced grower on this site when it comes to cannabis.. but I have taken a few hundred cuttings like this far, and not lost a single one yet.. so I must be doing something right! Thanks for the great thread!

Hi. This is literally my first post on any sight to do with anything. ( a little nervous ) I recently made a clonner after having okay results using the jiffy tray type system. I'm finding it difficult to find consistent information. I'm using an atomizer type system. Not sure if those exist but it logically made sense to me. I have a dbl. 48 T-12 about 24" above running 20/4. I recently added a full dose of dnf root stimulator. A water temp of about 78-80 and a dome on it that I air out about once a day. I used gel for some and powder for some. I'm not being lazy and just asking Ive read for hours and days about this topic alone. can anyone give me some pointers? for instance- water temp, humidity and temp under dome.

Oh and after 8 days I had a couple with roots starting from 1/8 - 1/4" long. but they have stalled at that. no change in 3 days. I could put up some picks but its embarrassing compared to plenty of set ups I've seen.
