Hi all,I just took some clones from a plant thats growing outside.I planing to grow them indoors.I was running out of rootech gel and have schultz take root powder.So what was left of the gel I got some on all the cutting and then coated the cutting with the take root powder and put them in rapid rooter plugs in a tray with a dome.Misted the inside of the dome and moisten the plugs with thrive alive B-1 green.The temps in the cab clone chamber are 81 to 85 degrees.Theres two 24" fluoresence 20Watts each about 10" above them.So what I'am asking is do you think that the gel and the powder is a good idea?Or did I just screw it up? PEACE

...over kill...

i have no idea what will happen, they'll probably do just fine.

would have been interesting if you did a side by side root competition though, to see which one works best...

yeh it seems like overkill, rooting gels I have had minimal luck with in rapid-rooters, the powder sticks better and thats important since it takes time for the hormones to penetrate. But it's a matter of personal preference. Too much hormone will stunt growth not help it.
