sparkling clones (cloning tip)

i discovered the benefits of sparkling water a few mounths ago thanks to another grower friend and have not heared anyone else mention it so i thought i would share it with all my fellow growers . Purchase a bottle of sparkling mineral water and put it yo use when taking clones . Fresh cutting from a mother crave the essential minerals as well as the tiny carbonated bubbles. Placing your fresh cuttings in a cup of mineral water before using your cloning solution will make the clones root faster and increase their survival rate (though make sure you grab the unflavored kind). Bubbles are happy sound to the plants and they will soon show their approval with quick abundant roots . I treid it once not thinking it would do much if anything at all and sure shit it really helped out . All i have to say is give it a try and let me know how it works out for you cause i use it every time i clone now . So there you go hope this little tip helps out .

I wouldnt use it to put fresh cut clones in because of the bubble that can get trapped in the stem. Some people even cut clones under water to avoid the bubble.
I do mist clones with cabonated water for 3 to 5 days (3 or 4 times a day) then they are on their own. No humidity domes.

I recently read an article (H/Times mag. Nov. '11) called '21 tips from the pros'. This was one of the tips i wanted to try. Interested to see if anyone knows anything solid about this?
Does it work?

i heard the same tip in last months copy of hightimes. it came from that "grower" they have, danny danko. i feel hes always trying to sell you on somthing, ive been wondering if it does work and like NUTESOFNUGS says oxygen in stem isnt good i thought so ive been hesitant to try, but if it works good for you maybe ill give it a whirl.
