I've been hearing these OGs are a lil bit finicky to root. I know @kgp said the SFV is but didn't know if he said anything about the Ghost. At least it rooted for you tho

For all people using cloners do you guys use any gel or powder or clone solution?

Sfv is not too bad, but ghost is a Biotch. Yes, about 20-30 days to root and it's the only plant that I've had cuttings fail to root.

I've found nutrient solution to cause more damage than benefit with the og's. I use plain spring water in my ez clone. A dip in clonex gel sometimes.

Damn Ghost OG playing ghost on everybody with roots lol. 20-30 days is a very long time. Do any of y'all cut the tips of the fan leaves? I've seen it done a lot over the years and have done it myself and it helps slow hem down from synthesizing. Lots have reported it also helps roots faster I've seen some side by side and it does but I've never tried. Think I will on next batch of clones I take

I cut all mine and I just picked up a new cloning method to help me speed up my turn around time.

This clone was taken on the 19th.
View attachment 3428767
the pic is from 5/27 tho.
This is what 8-9 days in aero looks like.
No ph'ing, no misting, no dome, no nutes, no heat mat, no snake oils, no leaf clipping. Just clean fresh water when needed.

I don't use snake oils and no dome,no phing,no heat mat either, but I don't need to worry about pumps failing due to electricity going out or anything of the like. Don't get me wrong I like aero cloners but the way I've started doing it can get roots in 5-7 days. Matter of fact 1 of those cuts I got on Sunday already has roots out the bottom :)

Totally not directed at you brother.
My main point is that cloning is really very simple. You can take a cut and stick it in a shot glass of water for 14 days and it will root.

I run perpetual so the aero has made a huge difference in my cycles. They all get the same exact treatment now.

I used to run into situations where I would have some cuts ready for some ventilation but still wanted to take fresh cuts. The fresh ones prolly would not make it in the vented dome and keeping the dome on slightly stunts the root growth of the ones that want the air.

It seems like you may have a different dome-less cloning technique. Either way I am interested to hear the actual technique. I saw that you have mentioned it in the 6. I saw some shot glasses with rw cubes in them?
You have my ear now, what is the tech?

If electricity fails, I would be more worried about my carbon filter fan combo not working. Just sayin'

Oh I know it wasn't :) I was just sharing my experience cause I'm all bout simplicity that's all. Sorry if it came off wrong.

Basically it's RW cubes placed in cups and fed some organic feed in the bottom. Take cuts the exact same way. I'll explain more when I get back home. Shitty service here and tired of typing on phone.

Here's the clone that was taken Sunday evening and here it is last night.

As long as it gets roots,what's it matter......

It doesn't matter to me but cutting my rooting time in half or more on some strains that's a huge win for me. Also not having to worry bout a dome or anything dampening off or electricity is another huge thing.

I don't care how anyone does it I'm just sharing what I learned. Also only having to take the amount of cuts you need is another huge plus for me.

Do whatever you want :)

can't wait to hear the details
on this new tech you learned

thanks for sharing ahead of time giggles, appreciate the knowledge brother

sounds like something i could use
with no dome , and electricity I'm impressed man, nice and simple

peace, love, and weed
happy gardening all ! and have a good day :)

It came from some of my Colorado buddies. About 5 of them use this tech and haven't lost a cut in quite sometime. Maybe like 2 out of 300 cuts. I'm not claiming anything new or my tech but I'm in love with it and I'm about sharing the knowledge I obtain. Especially if it helps just one person. You are free to do whatever works for you. I don't judge. Also RW is so much cheaper then plugs and it's still organic for me.

First guy that showed me this cloned a 1 ft branch and got it to root in 7 days!!! That's huge!
