Hello!
In the past ive successfully cloned in expandable peat pellets but recently i haven't had much success at all. Ive been trying rockwool to no avail with every method i seen. Maybe its my strain (white widow and now trying crystal) but thats beside the point.

I think part of my problem is i loved them to death. I hear that you need just to spray once or twice a day and leave them alone but i cant help but to check all the time.

Anyway a few days ago I took a little clipping from the bottom of my white widow which has been in flower for 30 days and was not producing any bud. For some reason or another I felt bad for wasting it and decided to just stick it in the rocks of the flood drain and see what happened. I forgot about it and today when i went in there it was still alive as could be. I was incredibly surprised. So i researched water cloning and found out that it took a little longer that most methods but it was maintenance free. Just cut and put in water. No dome or anything.

So I decided to do this with my crystal plant that has been in 12/12 for 10 days. I took 8 clippings from her bottom that vary in size (I was going to cut them off to see if the top did any better anyway) I took a piece of aluminum foil and put it over a clear bowl and poked holes in it. The water is pure tap water with a little bit of bloom nuets and some peroxide as I read both of those were a good idea. They said dont worry about PH tap water is ok. I also used Juicy Roots rooting hormone on each clipping. I took my clipping tidied them up dipped them in the cloning gel and put them in the foil holes into the water.

I just set them low in the veg closet away from direct light. Will I have as much success with this as everything ive read? If not its fine as I said i was throwing them out anyway. Any sugestions?

Thanks in advance!!

Hope I put this in the right place...forum newb...Sorry

help anyone?

guess not lol. But they are all still very green and not droopy at all. Not bad at all for just poking some holes in foil.

yeah sometimes it just seems no one wants to help on this forum or they're just too lazy at the moment who knows. If i knew how to clone I'd tell u sorry bor have better luck pce.

u growing soil or dro?...i faild a fewtimes before i found out what works good!....i grow in soil...but it sounds like ur doin FAD system

Well usually it seems that the people on this site are really good about helping. Thats why I signed up here. Its probably because I just signed up and dont have many post so I guess I have to understand. But thanks anyway bro.

Yeah I do a flood drain. Flood 15 mins every 2 hours. Thanks for responding.

leaving them submerged will rot the stems. they need to breathe just like the root system does. what ever you use as far as pellets or rockwool, make sure the stem is snug with the medium to get good root growth.

If you google "water cloning marijuana" it will bring up many things that show people have had success with it. But they make it look unbelievably simple. And a lot of people report great success rates.

But like i said it looks unbelievably easy..

i hear rockwool is hrd for newbs to clone with..if u squeeze it to hard u pop air pockets and what not...if its to wet it will rot the stem. this i another reason i grow in soil!....have u tryed the water thing yet?
