I was wondering if any one had a tried and true cloning gel that you would recommend I use for my babies.

I personally think the 5 dollar powder from local stores works just as good as 20 dollar gel from a growshop. I actually prefer my homemade bubble cloner. I get around a 95% success rate as opposed to my 60% powder/medium method. The methods are endless and you get a different answer from almost everyone you ask. Just try several methods and see what works best for you. As far as a tried and true gel..... I'd go with Clonex

I think Ill go with the Clonex at first. I'm not doing hydro, so should I just plant in soil after dipping?

Sure. You can use soil, rockwool, perlite, or my fav. rapid rooters. Like I say, the combinations and methods are endless. Just do a few of each and see what works best in your case. I strongly reccommend the rapid rooters though.

I hear that. I think it sticks to the clone better and stays on longer.

What sticks better? The powder or gel?

So I just order Clonex and some 50mm Jiffy peat pucks. I think that I'm going to start there. I'm sure as I get more experience I will try other things. It just sounds kind of dummy proof using this stuff.

the brand clonex i would recommend better then a powder rooting hormone, just get some clonex, the powders when u put them on they will seek through the soil when u water, gels work better cuz they stya where they need to per say, and i get 100% with clonex just a little more money.
