Default Need Some Quick Answers About Cloning
My plant is a couple days away from flowering so I need to snip a quick clone, however I am having some trouble finding supplies. The Stone-Free video on cloning I saw, told me to get this mixture. 60% Potting Soil, 10% Building sand, 15% perlite, 10% worm castings, 5% premix 12-6-6

I cannot seem to find any worm castings, I have checked at Lowes and Walmart. Does anyone know what worm castings are? By the sound of it, sounds like worm poop, but im not sure, if its smashed up worms, I could easily dig some up.

Next problem is I cant find a 12-6-6 fertilzer, so if any1 could tell me another good fert combination to use for starting the plant out I would appreciate it. I know it needs high Nitrogen, but im not sure how high. Also all the fertlizers were for a certain plant it seemed like, does this matter? For instance some were for Palm Trees, some were for Sunflowers, etc.

Next thing is, how much sunlight do they need after I clone them, All my growing is done outside, in the sunlight. I live in southern U.S so it is hot out, and my other plants are doing beautiful, however I am not sure if there will be enough sunlight out for clones. I would say I get about 14 hours a day, and most of it is direct sunlight. Also should I clone in the morning, so that the clones have the whole day of light to help or should I do it at night, or does it even matter?

Next question is a cloning video, the guy sprayed the clones with a blooming agent, but in other videos, and websites, they just use water. Im pretty sure using a blooming agent that early is silly, but maybe im wrong.

Also I am using Miracle Grow Moisture Control, Iv heard alot of bad things about the old Miracle grow, but Im pretty sure Iv heard that the Moisture control soil is quality.

Please respond if you know anything about any of this, I really need answers fast, because if the White Widow starts to bud, its over. Thanks guys, and I apologize for any grammer, or spelling mistakes as I am writing this really fast because its really urgent that I get these answers

For ferts, worm castings, etc., you really need to go to your local hydro shop or online. Some head shops have them, but not too many.

Well I dont have any headshops around here, and as I mentioned I need to get everything by the next couple days, so unless I used next day delivery online isnt an option. Would I be fine just using the Miracle Grow Moisture Control and perlite?

Thanks for the response Billy

Well, first things first... do you have any root stimulator solution or powder? Although I have never tried to clone without it, I think it is pretty difficult to do so. Also, Miracle Gro - although not ideal - could be used if no rockwool is available to start them off. Make sure to bump this in a few hours so someone who has experimented a bit can respond.

Yeh I have root hormones, and I have peatpellets to plant them in. Also is it manditory to soak the cut branch in water for 15-30 minutes, someone please help, I would like to clone tomorow, but my lack of knowledge would surely lead to me screwing things up : )

yep when the worm drops a duece you got yourself a worm casting, youd be better suited to just go out and buy some though.

the OBVIOUS answer is to hold off flowering until you BUY SOME ROOTING GEL ONLINE and actually get some clones to root.

Dude you don't NEED fucking worm castings. If you have a decent soil mix and rooting gel you are all set. People root clones in cups of water for Buddha's sake.

Edit - Search cloning or clones and there are tutorials on it.

yeh don't sweat the worm castings, you don't need to feed them for at least a week, maybe two. I would hold off until you get a rooting hormone, in a pinch you can go to walmart and get superthrive, when you use it in it's undiluted form and just dip your cuttings in them quickly before planting they should root. If you have a willow tree around look up willow water for rooting, you can make it yourself. Short of that, hold off on the flowering untill you get some hormone.
