Hey there Ya'll I was just looking at RONA and found some rooting hormone for 6.75$ what am I looking for in the mix to see if it is efficient for cloning my cuttings I have found 3 types in that range a GEL by wilson called ROOTS ......a powder called root-stim and a liquid CIL?

you could just go get some willow tree bark soak in warm water for a day or so and use the water for rooting cuttings, cost nothing.

interesting ....I don't know if we have willows here I'm looking it up......

do you use a dome when cloning and a heat pad should the dome have holes in the top at all or is the idea to keep all the humidity in ?

i used a propogator which had sliding vents and no heat pad,there a many ways to go about it though,check out weeds that please for info or loads here on site, check out my journal, 12-12 from seed if you have time.you gotta have willow trees surely.
