well got some of that clonex gel finally.
we did nothing diff from when we used the powder before & always got 90% rate with the powder.
now its been 1 week with the gel on the clones & we dont see any roots.
we wet the cubes with water first put the gel on the clone stuck it in the clone setup.
the clones are all green showing growth. we decided to take 1 of the clones & oped the side of the cube 2 see if their were roots. well thier were no roots & the bottom 1/2 inch of the stem was all white & puffy looking or swollen. is that normal before the roots start to grow or did something go wrong.
we didnt splice or scrap the bottom of the clone before we put the gel on them. what u guys think.

From my experience with cloning that is the beginnings of the root ball. Are you in soil or something else? If you are in soil just put that clone you looked at in the soil and in a couple of days you will have roots.

I had the same findings I was always a rooting poder guy but got talked into clonex gel .i went from a 95% success ratio to about 70 with gel..Im back with powders and back to 95% success.Im playing with both right now I have 40 in rockwool using gel and 40 in rockwool using powder.

well i lied about the powder success, so far iver cloned 2 other times & had 100%,1st time only 1 plant just 2 see, the second time 10 plants. but almost killed the second atempt 2 much nuts. the first attempt used just ph water, second atempt we put some h202 & superthrive & the plants burnt up bad. had 2 top 3 of them before we saw roots, but are all coming around & GROWING fast. so maybe we should put some superthrive in sprayer? what u think
