Cloning Experement - Honey vs Schultz Take Root vs Clonex gel

Hey another PO grower! I'm flowering the last of the Tahoe OG I got from them awhile back. Great smoke, bitch to grow though. Weak stems, long internodes. The best luck I had cloning the Tahoe was just sticking the cuts straight into soil with nothing on them, better survival % and faster than rw and bubble cloner for me. Didnt use my root riots at all though. Good luck with your experiment, and the Tahoe

Got my cut from them back in Feb... She's prob about 7' now, It does have some long ass internodes... Any tips, my first batch of her is just now in the 1st week of veg. (rooting into the pots)

I'm doing root riots because I am a Coco hydro grower, so I guess this Tahoe will test my skills! I'd like to Scrog her but I cant (or at least i dont think i can lol) because i have separate veg & bloom rooms...

Curious to see how honey does

Definitely just plan on having some type of support in place. Once they start to get top heavy those stems dont hold up. Keep your eye on some of the micros too, mine were finicky with fe/mn, ca, and mg levels. The ones I'm flowering now are in soil though and no issues whatsoever.

And yea scrogging can be a bitch with perpetuals and its alot of work, but I think it can definitely be worth it if you make it work. I have 2 different flower areas so I dont have to keep either one in 12/12 and I still get more frequent harvests.

very cool man im subbed to see how it goes

I like how you concluded I have a perpetual... I have 3 lights to be exact. I was thinking one of those green nylon trellis nets. I could probably figure out some way of rigging up one of those. Maybe put it like a 2' up and move in 1' Tahoe plants. They should triple according to Swerve so that would put the trellis about 1' down from the tops theoretically and 1' up from where they would start stretching.

Do you think that would help/be worth rigging up? The bamboo stakes are a real bitch to put in as needed so i'd like to do something in advance this time since I already know they will be too top heavy to support themselves.

Well hopefully, LOL

I'll keep the updates and pics coming, thanks for the comments & Rep guys keep em coming!

I think i am going to make this a 2 part experiment. Once conclusions are made form the rooting compound portion I will work on a media test.
I'll take the winning rooting compound and do a controlled 3 media test.

Since I'm a Coco grower I'll try

A: Root Riots
B: Jilly Plugs
C: Canna Coco (same coco i grow in)

For the Coco i'll just compress it in the little plug holder tray holes. If it roots well it should make a nice little plug which could be easily and cleanly removed and transplanted. I'm determined to figure out how to get this Tahoe to root good!

These all work good but i use honey,i got some flowering og clones to root with-in 9 days.I used honey that had crystallized (sugars separated). I thought it was gonna take at least 2-4 weeks for any to root.I just dipped the (kinda woody/semi woody) stems and planted in soil.I don't know if the sugars being separated helped but it worked.
