i was just trying to get a feel as to what everyones favortie method for taking and propagating clones is.
i have been doing a ton on research online as well as on here, and it seems that each article, thread i read i find that the author of each article claims to have the best and easiset low cost method of taking and growing out clones..
so i turn to you, the riu community, to take a lil poll on how you prefer to take your clones as well as growing them out. the more information that everyone includes would be great..
thank you to everyone who takes the time to inform me of their methods in advance

DWC cloner - 5 gallon bucket with neoprene inserts holding up the plants - works every time.

Cost about $15 ($10 pump, $1 airline, $3 for bucket and lid, $1 for airstone).

very good info mr smith.. and i love th diy aspect of your method as well.. was looking online when i saw some cloners going for over $300, and knew that there had to be an easier, cheaper way.. thanks again for the info..

peanut butter method.
just go get a jar of peter pan. it has to be peter pan to work.
then spread it all over your mother plant where you want a clone
two days later POW you got fifty clones
hahaha
im lifted like i talked to samson.

really though i prefer the standard clone gel into rockwool, hand watered. its most cost efficient for me and i may lose like one or two on a bad batch of 20. I always have a ton of rockwool and cloning gel is cheap. so is a lil spray bottle. just throw em in a cake bin that i got from publix just by askin. Its a perfect tray for cloning. i usually dont veg clones either. im impatient.

Agreed that method (really any method) will work as it's hard to fugg up cloning, but my goal is to make it so I never have to go to the hydro store ever again, so I try to use the least amount of expendable materials from there.

Hoping that next time I go I'll just buy $500 worth of nutes and not have to go back for a year or two (don't like being paranoid about going into a store).

Same reason I use and reuse hydroton in my E&F instead of buying rockwool and throwing it away each time - less trips to the hydro store.

Just my $.02.

My pleasure - FYI, the pic below was at 9 days. They're all busting out now and ready for transplant (day 14).

thanx guys for the input.. i was really excited when i started to read the peter pan method as i work for peter pan and peanut butter is like oygen around my crib, lol.. not really..
and thanx for the pix, they definitely help out alot.. it is one thing to read all of the things needed to make a nice cloner of my own, but seeing it goes along way for me..

I dip them in rooting gel and put them in those peat seed starter disks and make sure they stay wet. When roots poke out the bottom they are good to transplant.

kool.. thanks for the information httc.. i like easy.. lol.. sounds like a great method.. gotta look for some of those discs from the hydro store the next time i go..

.

I use a home made bubbler set up similar to Bob's, 100% success rate like Bob's as well. 3 - 10 days for rooting, depending on strain and age of cutting. I use an aquarium heater to keep the water at 80 degrees F and have an aquarium thermometer in the water; 6 small air stones attached to a disk, and 2 gang valves with a 3500cc air pump for each valve; net baskets with the neoprene inserts but it looks like Bob has that problem licked - 1.75" holes Bob?. 3 gallon black bucket and lid.

I've tried rockwool and gel and couldn't get roots with either, a bubbler is pretty much idiot proof which suits me fine.
