Note: you still need to put hormone on the stem this just explains my medium .

1. Wilson™ rooting gel.
2. No damp™ liquid solution>prevents root rot .
3. jiffy pellets (pete moss cutting starter pellets/sacks)
4. heating pad or other residual heat accelerator.
5. Humidity dome.

Medium Method:
the trick here is the initial solution you use to swell your grow medium which is the peat pellets.
after you soak the pellet in the respective *Heated* no damp solution following its instruction label. sqeeze out all the excess ; You will then mix 1 tbl. spoon of the wilson rooting gel in 1 cup of cold filtered water and replenish the pelet with that solution then squeeze out the excess poke a hole 1 inch into the pellet with a squer and prepare to cut.

Any ways this has worked the best for me so far... I get very healthy and perfect sized root balls forming.... I even use this solution when I pre soke the 4"inch transplant pots before the initial transfer . then the hormone is cut off ! and its water and no nutes till that ball is formed in the transfer-pot .

Any ways you know the rest of the story try it for your self let me know what you think .
