Can someone direct me to a good step by step aerocloning thread/guide (with pics)?

Please keep in mind I am an idiot and the more detailed it is the better!

Thanks in advance!
 
Real - thanks for the help!

Just incase there is a difference has anyone seen a thread for aerocloning then moving into a DWC setup?
 
I vaguely remember reading somewhere that you should scrape the bottom inch or so of the cutting to promote root growth.

Has anyone heard of this before?

When Cloning Scraping the (cambium) Which is what your referring to, is to promote expansive root growth from multiple root sites.This takes a week or 2 longer. The Easiest way to clone a plant is to cut the the shoot of growth at least 4 nodes down.When making cut make it at a 45 degree angle right next to(if you can) the lowest node which you cut of;roots will grow from this; dip in hormone place into moist medium rooting takes 1-2 weeks.bongsmilie:weed:
 
In re-reading your post I'm not sure what you mean by -

"When making cut make it at a 45 degree angle right next to(if you can) the lowest node which you cut of".

Can you explain this further?
 
he saying you bascially cut right below the 4th node..at a 45degree angle..you do this because it takes a shorter time for the stem to root and start producing roots
 
There should be 4 nodes (at least) where growth appears on cutting, make the first cut when the branch is still connected to the plant, just below the lowest 4th node about 1 centimeter is good. then cut the growth from that 4th node(leaves). When clone is planted this node(thats cut) will be beneath the soil along with the original cut made. TIP;(mother plant) leach soil and plant 2-3 days before taking clones. Do this by every MORNING mist plant heavily with water and water soil two-gallons for every gallon of soil in container. this lowers Nitrogen and other Nutrients out of plant and help build essential sugars for root development. Also take clones in the morning time as well.
 
I am coming up on 48 hours into my first foray into cloning. I took 2 cuttings from each plant just incase one didn't make it. Everything looks great, leaves are standing up.

How do I know things are alright? What are the signs that there could be trouble? Is there something I should be watching out for?

Thanks for the help!

You will start to see the tips of the leaves turn yellow, and the clone will start to form new nodes this about 2 weeks. Feed your clone a high nitrogen diet when it roots.
 
Here are pics of my clones. There are white spots forming on the leaves? Do they look ok? I am not sure if this is normal as these are the first clones I have ever taken.

I just found little bugs all over the leaves.

They are maybe the tichkness of a human hair, about 1 - 2 mm long and they are blondish in color.

Does anyone know what these are?!?
 
So through the Bugs forum I figured out that I have thripes.

Does anyone know how this might affect my clones?

Well I am at day 8 with my clones, I have the thripes under control and 18 of my 20 clones have roots!

How long should I let the roots get before I transfer the clones to buckets (DWC)?

As always, thanks guys!
 
What type of system did you put your clones in ... did you put them into rockwool? I hear you should grow your clones for 2 weeks and then transfer to a better system.
 
I started them in a home made aerocloner, the longest of the roots are about 2" right now.

So I guess you are saying keep them in the cloner for 2 full weeks then transfer to my DWC setup?
 
Im not a profesional cloner so dont take what i say for granit. I would recommend throwing them into your dwc as soon as they root but like i said earlier im not an experienced cloner. Good luck

Is it normal for the clones to wilt when you transfer them from the aerocloner to the DWC buckets?

:-?
