Can I clone without a rooting agent

Due to corona I'm waiting for my clonex gel. I've never took cuttings before but Plants are ready to go. I'm 7 week in veg and want take cutting soon and flower the week after. If my stuff doesn't arrive soon what is the best thing to do.

Absolutely you can. I never use the stuff.
Make your cut and if you want place them in water for a few minutes to allow the cutting to absorb some water and then put them in whatever medium you are using.

Yep - exactly. Not a requirement to use the rooting gel, just bonus fluff

i have placed cuttings in brown beer bottles of water. Replacing the water every few days, and it just works. Probably slower than other methods, but it still works.

Cheers mate think I may just have do that. I did think of leaving a couple in water also and then if stuff does come can try root them then

Cheers guys don't want take too many as only have 2 plants but they are doing so well with the extra veg they gonna be good

Will rapid rooters be the best option or straight in soil. I have biobizz all mix organic soil. I will probably try 1 of each method anyway but the more help the better thanks

I put them in those jiffy peat pellets and I also put them straight into my medium, fox farm ocean forest. The soil just takes a little longer imo.

rapid rooters would be best. All mix is possibly a bit over fertilized for this stage. Probably would be fine though.

Cheers guys will probs take some over next few days

I literally put tap water in my aero cloner, take cuts off plant, put them in cloner and roots in 7-14 days.

Rapid rooters work great. If you have a heat mat under the tray and a dome they work even better. Don't forget to mist your cuttings at least a couple times a day

Do you have an aloe plant or have friend or family member with one?
I use Azos and rockwool cubes but I've used aloe in the past with great success.
If you have willow trees nearby, a tea made with a few 1inch pieces from a branch steeped in water works great too.

But, if you don't have access to those, you can absolutely do as other suggested and root your cuts in peat plugs.

Rapid rooters heat mat and dome it is guys cheers for rapid response too. Keep safe everyone
