Cloning?

I know the basics of cloning da da da da da..snip them with alcoholed snippers at 45 degree angle dip in rooting compound but can u put them in soil

yes you can. Although, I would put them in a rockwool cube (make sure you soak the cube in 5.5ph water for 24 hours before hand); the results are almost 100%, and you can put the rockwool cube right into the soil for transfer.

Soil is fine, so long as you create the right humidity they'll take root. The difficulty with soil is that you won't be able to tell for a while longer whether they have rooted or not. Also when you make the cut make sure you do it under water to prevent air bubbles in the stem. You should be able to achieve 100% success, even in soil. Rockwool cubes are cheap and much easier for cloning.

If your cutting is going into soil, you can use any rooting block made of peat or oasis cubes, or whatever. That way you don't have to mess with the prep required for rockwool.

And Skunk, that air bubble thing when cutting, I've never worried about it. About 10 years ago I read that it didn't apply to cannabis stems, only roses and such.

HTH

i was wondering about the air thing and how u cut it under water lol but thanks for the help anyways i heard the best thing to use was these little blocks made of clay or something i seen them on a video and ideas of the name of them

Rockwool? or something else?

You get 100% success without cutting under water? I'm quite lazy and have done this to a few of my clones before and to be honest they have taken... Also you should see my cloning hormone... the stuff has virtually turned to water and we are still bringing clones through. I'm using a ceramic dish with cling-film over the top at the moment, works well so I feel no need to change... Thanks Potroast... they really are resillient little bastards.

Oh, FTL, if you're still wondering how to make the cut with the stem under water... You use a plate.

i was just wanting to know if i could use soil and tenn told me that but ok thanks
