so you just get a cuttling off a mother cup of water and indirect sunlight?

already took some cuttlings gonna try it my clones in soil look stressed to the max

Still not much change. But on a couple of them the leaves look like they are yellowing. Ive read that sometimes that means that they will start rooting soon? Is that true or are they going to start to die?

Thanks Dark! I think thats the thread that inspired me originally! But im a week into it now and still nothing. I had 1 100watt equivalent CFL about a foot above them. Im assuming that is way too close huh? I moved the light up further and pushed the plants as far away as i could get them but its still only like 2-2.5 feet away. do I need to move it further? Looks like youre having way more luck w it than me.

jzs147, let me know how it goes for you. Id really like to kno how effective this is.

ill keep everyone posted on mine

it can take 3 weeks or so to start rooting(plus bigger cuttings take alot longer to root), dont give up hope yet. I didnt write that article btw, but ive water cloned alot and finding the perfect amount of light can be tricky. but yeah, thats too much light imo. i put mine on a windowsill that recieves no direct light at all and it usually takes 2 weeks for mine to get rooted to the level i like. but i failed more than once figuring it out. dont give up bro, you'll get it all worked out soon.

i will mate thats all im doing with my water clones on a window seal with no direct sunlight

im also trying clones in dirt in a humity dome with a fluro over the top and i have a couple in rock wool to in the dome im gonna stick with what works best

water cloning sounds the goods nice and easy

Damn! The stems are really white. And there are a couple of them that are turning really yellow and have withering leaves.

I was thinking that the water probably softened the stem a lot so what if I tried putting them in soil to save em? What do ya think?

did u make sure to tweak it around so no air bubbles can be on the bottom of the stem and kill it? show me a pic of your clone area.

Yeah, i cut it in water and everything. Id take some pics but ill i have is a cell phone camera and i promise the pictures wouldn't do you any good.

I really want to move them to soil..but idk

Good news!!!...kinda...I have 1 with roots but not at all how i expected. A few minutes ago i went and grabbed my clones to determine which ones i wanted to move to soil and which i needed to give up on. I ended up throwing a bunch of the small ones out and transferred a few bigger ones to soil. But one of them had roots on it...not in the water but right against the foil i had it poked through to suspend it. Looks like it rooted a couple days ago. Just moved it into a shot glass w soil in it...Yay?

This leads me to believe that the bubble stone method (suspending the stems directly above a thing of water with a bubble stone at the bottom. The bubbles pop at the top of the water and moisten the roots with the water.) will work extremely well. Anyone have experience with this?

your wrong - google rootlest transport mechanism.


and rooting cuttings in a container of water has been around for years.

ok tried the water thing and it worked

cup of water clone and thats it

took a bit longer without rooting hormone but it worked
