I recently tried a new technique for my cuttings ive never done before. I was lollipopping my girls and used all the cuttings for clones and starting them at about 6" tall. instead of taking all the precise cautions everyone always takes i decided to experiment a bit. I wet some paper towel and put about 50 cuttings ontop of it then wet another few pieces and covered them for an hour.

I then cut a few inches off each one and then using my finger nail to split the stem up the center about 3/4" to create a Y. I soaked the rockwool started in nutristart plus and water then dipped the cuttings in a rooting powder and placed the cuttings under a dome. Today marks 6 days and they are exploading with roots. In past experiences of cloning i was always so precise and cutting the bottoms on a 45 degree angle and whatnot but have never gotten results like this!

They were never wilty or gimpy looking infact an hour or so after placed in the humidome thye were all spunky looking with leaves spread wide. i misted them every morning with water and BAM we got roots!
 
they key to this is the hour of rest you gave them and hydrated them. I'm sure other conditions were ideal, but I have noticed anytime i take cuttings and put them right under even cfls they will wilt. If i put them in the shade for an hour or so in a cup of water , no problems.
 
yeah the dome stayed on for all 6 days, once i get home this evening ill try and put a few pics up if not today then tomorrow
 
Thats awsome but i can one up ya, just started growing ww from greenhouse and got visible roots after 3 days and they looked like this after 5... I was fucking amazed
