time to clone

ExtraNormal · 05-04-2008, 03:34 AM

Okay it's cloning time, and I'm scared shitless. I don't know why but I really really suck at cloning. I've had entire batches fail. But here I am, it's gotta get done. I've read up a lot, even watched the video of the guy with the green face.

I think I have all the steps figured out, so maybe this time will go better. One question though--which of the following three mediums would you go with?

Perlite
Vermiculite
Some green foam cubes that are made for cloning. (maybe rockwool?)

Thanks, and wish me luck. Tomorrow is the day.

slunt and koshiva, thanks for the replies. I'm going to reread what you've written with greater care later today before I take the plunge....

Well it's done. Here's a pic. I'm wondering if a single 20W CF is enough? At first I was thinking I'd do some from each plant in the green cubes on the left, but I don't know about those things. They were super saturated with water and they didn't pinch closed very well. So I went with a 50-50 perlite vermiculite mix for the rest.

Is it okay to clone the main cola?

Pretty clear from the pic that I could've spread 'em out some! Oh well, I'm gonna stay optimistic.

Ok im new to this Forum & instead of giving an intro ill give a great Tip for you cloners #1,Forget all the BS you have been told about clones & how to do it .just have a large pot with Good potting mix in it also mabe drench it with a little neutrients then after u slice that clone stick it strait into the soil for a 95% Success rate it will pretty much spring its roots within few days the soil potting mix keeps the Humidity perfect,& the soild keeps the stem stable eazy as that Boyz & girls ive been doing it for years i call it the Typical Aussie Clone system in 6 years ive lost only 3 clones ever so mabe give it a go.
Also dont forget to keep it under your light as the light & heat provides extra nice conditions for ur soil & humidity ok well thats about it & i diddnt even need a step 2 lol tc people & happy harvest

^^^It's funny cuz it seems the simplest solution is always the best. I've never tried it but I guess it'd be worth a shot!

The beauty of cloning is you`ve got nothing to lose. Go forth and multiply!
