remember not to get an air bubble in the 45 degree cut of your clone, that is auto death. and keep n mind for the time they are trying to sprout roots, they have to absorb water through their leaves.

keep them under a light where the heat will evaporate the water soon enough not to make them rot, and spray them down a couple times a day.

I followed a guys advice that was exactly like yours once, and I killed two sets of clones in a row. DO NOT MIST THE PLANTS. If you do they have no need to grow roots. I have about 90% success this way. cut the clones at a 45 degree, and then clip off about 50% of all the leafs, cut the square off the ends, put rooting hormone on them if you wish. Then place them in Rapid Rooters, place these in a clone dome, sit this on a heating pad with a towel doubled up between them, make sure to feel the bottom of the tray ever so often for the first 6 hours to make sure it is not getting to hot. Moisten the rapid rooters no more then once a day unless you notice them turning a lighter color. Put a little water in the bottom of them clone dome also.

Last harvest I cut a branch off with a box knife, stuffed it into a rapid rooter with no cloneing gel or anything, put city tap water on it, and placed it under a glass, I only checked it once every three days. It rooted. Most people over water and over mist their clones big time.

i agree with this guy above. the more i fuckd wth my clone s the sooner they died. the aero cloner (home made preferably) is worrie free, no misting (maybe once a day) no clone gel at all, no heat pad, no dome and they rock out some roots buddy!

also the 45 cut is hardly a big deal if you score the stem a bit before putting wherever your gonna put it. and i never cut my clones under water or soak them or any of that shit. i stand in my mother room, take a cuttling right off the top of the plant (thats wher its growing most vigourous) fuck you i cant spell-- cut off some lower leaves, trimmed off half the leafs that i keep ( cut off all the fingers to about half there original size) and stuck em staight in to my homemade cloner. they dont every get a chance to wilt, they look better in my aero then they did on the plant.

scraping the stem a little bit helps promote root growth too. dont go crazy but if you scrape just the outside skin of the stem they seem to root faster where you scrape them. i noticed it took about a week off my cloning time.
also all weed clones different some are faster than others i've got some strains that clone in 1 1/2 week and others that take 3 weeks the only reason i wait is the 3 week stuff tastes incredable

So how far above the water level do the cut ends sit and is it just the bubbles bursting that wets the stalk?

if you use the same 1 gallon rubbermaid container in the growfaq just fill water to the line in the container.

Thats fine but if i cut clones at 3" 4" and 5" and set them all at the same physical height then 2 of them are gonna be in the water

@ ryan miller, thanks thats the answer i needed mate

I'm in uk so i dont know what rubbermaid are but i'll find a 1 to 2 gallon container tomorrow cos i got pretty much all the other stuff Cheerz guys
