Cloning Problems

I have been having trouble keeping my clones alive. I have adjusted temp, humidity, media, and cloning chems.

I am at my wits end. I was thinking of adding cloning powder to my soil when I clone and then using clonex on the cuttings. Has anyone ever done this? If so, does it work?

I appreciate any info that can be provided.

I have 100% success cloning with clonex gel. I use moist seed plugs in a tupper ware container. I set the container on top of a heatpad (one for a fish tank). I maintain 1/4 inch of water in the bottom of the tupper ware to keep the plugs moist but not soaked and I mist the clones AT LEAST 3 times per day. In 7 to 10 days max, all of the clones have full root systems and are ready for dirt/hydro. Hope some of this helps you in some way!

I wouldnt put the powder straight into the soil, just use a minimal amount on the cutting. You really dont need rooting solution at all. The environment is the most important part. If you're trying to root into soil, make sure the soil is very loose. It needs air, so it should drain quickly. You can add 25%-50% perilte, or vermiculite, or something of the like that holds air well. You should describe the details of your cloning process, soil, environment, etc.. It would give people a better idea of how to help.

Practice and patience grasshopper. To save some typing I'll link you to a how too. I use rapid rooter plugs and rootech cloning gel myself.
