    Default Cloning straight into soil

    OK. So 3-4 days ago I took some clones from my White Widow plant. The were cut at an angle, rinsed, and planted into FFOF soil. The first watering had 1 drop per gallon of Super Thrive in it. I have been misting once or twice a day with ph'd water only.

    How long should it be before they recover and start growing?

    How do they look to you guys? 3-4 days from being planted.

    You'll want to trim off a bunch of leaves, and you can trim off half of a fan leaf instead of the whole thing. But you have way too much foilage on those for non rooted cuttings to support.

    You should apply a root hormone before potting, but as far as using ocean forrest, nothing wrong with it.

    I've cloned in soil before, with mixed results. Worked best when I had them under a dome and kept them pretty warm.

    Is there any method of telling if they are NOT doing OK? Or do I just wait and see which ones make it? I want to flower them ASAP.

    if they are still standing by day 2 then ur doing alright, as far as how they look, alot of those leaves will die before your plant roots, the clone doesnt take in enough water without roots to have the amount of leaves you do... cut all the leaves in half across the leaf and u should have a better chance. Also if u didnt use any rooting hormone ur really lowering ur chances of a successful rooting and ur adding way to much time on. On average you should see roots within the 5-7th day when properly starilizing ur cloning tools and using rooting hormone, cover them up and make sure to mist at least once a day
    I grow only tomatoes and for my personal use. Any inference otherwise from my posts is completely false.

    i just took a clone and put it directly into soil without hormone. i originally took the clone ten days ago, left it in a cup of water and no roots started. the clone was healthy though, so tonight i cut it in half and put the top half into a home made compost soil. Im trying it as an expirement and i figured id comment since youre doing the same thing! do you usually clone without rooting hormone?

    Yeah I just don't have any rooting hormone at the moment. I'll need to get some I guess.

    Pay attention bro.When using the soil cloning method make sure you use a heting pad 1st or you have to know you're temp is at least 75f.2nd use a low dome and spray the lid only.3rd do not remove the lid for the 1st 48 hrs and after that let em breathe for ten mins the 1st day then 20 and then no dome.I have had great root growth in 7 days with beginning roots showing up in 4 days.Jorge says it cant be done but Jorge is wrong.
