20181221_081657.jpg i transplanted the clones into soil, i brewed some compost tea and soaked the soil with it. I let them drain off and put them on a tray. I put the healthiest clone in a bigger pot and ill use that one as a mother if they flower well.this will be the last post on this thread im moving them to my Roots Organic Grow thread. Check it out!

Water and a few drops of chlorine, nothing more is needed. Don't try to "reinvent the wheel" if you don't have to. You only need a clean and sterile rooting chamber. That's the main problem here. I never spray my clones. I fill the "bucket" and forget about them, two weeks later they all have roots down to the bottom.

Cyanobacteria can be devastating in hydroponics, aka "brown slime". Get a chlorine meter or strips and run 0.5ppm residual in the reservoir. You could even go higher than that if the problems persist. If you don't want to buy a meter or strips you could also use a chlorine dilution calculator, this should either way be your first measure.

i might try that at some point in the future, as for now ive pretty much abandoned hyroponics altogether. ive been cloning with rapid rooters and clonex, then vegging and flowering in organic soil with compost tea. i had 100% rooting on 16 clones with only one having any deficiency.

i am starting an organic grow with soil. Getting away from chemicals altogether.now i just have to perfect an organic cloning technique.
Live soil in solo cup with small holes in bottom edge.
Water bottle with holes in the bottom and cut off top turned upside down for the dome.
Great White Mycorrhizac sprinkled on cutting
Place in wet dirt be gental don't stab it make a hole and fill in around it.
Keep it moist it will root.
