Hi, I've been having problems cloning. I did have some success once. But repeating the process has not been going well.
I currently am trying to root a cutting that was taken from the mother 3 weeks ago. Amazingly it still looks as good as the day I cut it, but 21 days later still no roots? This particular cutting is actually a branch segment about 3 in long with a single 5 bladed medium sized leaf and because its a segment and not a tip, its like its topped.
I cut it, (@ a 45) tweaked it (to remove any air bubble), dipped it in rooting powder and stuck it in a dark cup of filtered water with a lid with a hole thru it for the top to stick out. Its been very cool here so I've had a heat pad under the cup. It is NOT too hot. the temp should be perfect. This is my 1st attempt using the rooting hormone. I mist her several times a day? I changed the water once, and re dipped her in the powder. It gets about 15 hrs of indirect room light a day. LOL It has even pushed out a few new pitols! But still no roots after 3 weeks. Could they still be coming? (I suppose so but...) Is there anything else I can do? Any cloning tips are appreciated.

there are more than 20 different ways in the DIY section of the forum on how to build a cloner and for really cheap, just throw some money at it

do you have an air stone in your cup?? or just standing water?

think about trying something different then the powder, I have had nothing but dead clones when I tryed the powder. Try this stuff http://www.americanag.com/proddetail.php?prod=SA148 its a little bit more costly then other stuff but I bet you a nug that you will have roots 7-10 days, and also get a Fluorescent light just for you clones and a timer for 18 hour's of light. And get a tray with a plastic dome like this http://www.americanag.com/proddetail...PO100A&cat=172 so you can keep the humidty up.
Good luck

I'll try to put some pics up. It is in a homemade clone dome. No airstone, would that help BEFORE any roots emerge? humidity and temp I'm sure are not the prob. Might be the water. Since I know for a FACT that rooting powder is not nessessary i'm not going to BUY any more. Shultz is damn lucky I bought the one I did lol. I understand that certain "products" can be helpful, but I will put in the extra effort to do things without them. It will only make me a better grower and a better person. If I buy a cloner, and buy this and buy that, I may as well just buy my weed. i definitly appreciate the suggestions just the same. Keep them coming while i work on the pics...
