Btw I use coast of Maine soil from start to finish. I add epsom salt for vegetables every now and then. 2nd week in flower i use molasses organic unsulphored. Then flush with water last 2 weeks in flower. I don't add any nutrients from start to finish

Are you serious? You do all that? Just to clone?

I don't understand why people make cloning so complicated. Cut clone, dip in rooting compound, "I have just started using honey and am sold", put in coco or soil. Keep out of direct light and have roots in under a week.
Same here. Cut @ a 45 degree angle..dip and insert into medium. Works for me everytime

I think they are the rubber maid storage containers on wheels...they have a few bins/drawers...thats what I got when I googled it...lol
I'm not sure if this is a lot of work or not @Shizrock...because once its built then its just adding clones when needed really...from what I understand from the discription.
@dodacky ...sounds interesting, but pictures are would be helpful...doing 200-300 clones I found was like a job and it was a pain to water at times...lol
ill try add a photo next few days and not really much building to it 2-3mins at most. 2 tubs a water heater and a couple litres of perlite.
and yep theyre like a clear rubbermaid, A 100 litre main with an 80 litre clone bin ill cram 100 odd clones.

I take 2 node top cuts (after the seventh node) and dip them in water for a minute,

You can take them from the mid section up as long as the plants mature enough,

trim most leaf tips off,

put them in moist soil (in a smaller clear solo to see root development),

And put a bigger clear solo on top to create a dome,

Keep in a hot enough veg room (not too high), a little light (not too much) and clean domes every 1-3 days to somewhat disinfect, and I have roots 7-10 days as long as I took the cuts when the plant was healthy and seven nodes old.

Not only do you have cuts quickly as your taking after the 7th node (down to the fifth) but it’s almost fool proof! Hope this helps some. I’ve had aero cloners, cubes, gels, foliar solutions, etc and this is the simplest most effective way by far!

Sometimes,K.I.S.S. is the best way to go.They really want to root.We just have to provide the right environment for them to do so.

Tap water,tabletop by a window(blinds were never opened) and about a week to 10 days with water changed whenever I remember,I know I changed it out twice before I saw root action. I tossed these in here a few days after I saw this thread.
I myself have a diy aerocloner that is my main cloner.A hempy cup of 100%perlite,coco,peat,soil will do the same.

You can literally clone next to a window that doesn't get direct light
Yup!:clap:

Last pic, the top cutting with the red stripe..... I think i might know her?
Lol,nah bruh.This isn't her. These were taken from 2 month old solo cup moms of Briscos Bargain Beans before transplant.

The gal you speak of has been mom'd. I'm about to hit your DM.
 
I use a dome with perlite at the bottom..humidity up to 80% I set my heat mat to 85 degrees. I use to set my heat mat to 80 degrees..but at 85 degrees I get roots busting out all over more heat the better. Well for me it’s better and I had a hard time getting roots but now 5 to 7 days I have roots..just keep it simple
 
Oh yeah I use those jiffy peat pellets too..just transplanted some sour grape clones I took about a week or so ago..and got 16 clones in the dome now (5)purple kush, (6) gelatos, and (5) pineapple kush. Once you get it all figured out you’re gonna feel unstoppable
