Thanks to those who helped out with the humidity dome question:facepunch:…….what about dunking your stems is there such thing as your stems being to much in the water

I’ve taken many cuttings and have cloned in a jar of water…get over 80% success rate too
Little T5 light tube sits on top of the dome, works well enuff!

So many techniques that work.
Basically a sterile damp/wet environment that’s warm and they will most often root. So anyway you can think of to creat this environment will more then likely work.
Hormones can help but are not necessary.
I get my fastest biggest roots from rockwool cubes, rooting powder, dome, on a heat mat useing a clonex spray basically 100% success rate.
Just simply sticking them in good clean water will absolutely work but in my experience, it takes alot longer and I don’t get the same fat aggressive roots like I get in the rockwool. The rock wool with in a week is busting with roots.
I’ve no experience with turbo cloners but from what i see, they are top notch

Cool info

Do you spray the leaves with the Clonex and how often?

Yes I spray them with the nutrient solution untill they get some roots.
I try to soray them at least once a day but they could be sprayed 2-3 times a day and there is some days i don’t spray them.
I work alot so its hard for me to do things on any kind of a regular schedule 
It apears when i can spray them regularly, they turn yellow less. If I dont get to spray them regularly they tend to fade more while rooting.
I honestly don’t think the sprayed ones root any faster, they just seem to not fade as much while rooting. So I’d say a foliar spray is optional.
I don’t think i said but I try to keep my temperature around 77°f and humidity 75-100% till they root and once rooted I open the holes on my dome and start lowering RH to whatever the room is over a few (2-3) days.

Thanks Bro, very good advice. Ive got a clone mom I started almost 2 months ago. So its time to start taking a few from here.

I try to reduce the light level for new clones, and give them enough to stay alive but not enough to encourage green growth. If the light is strong enough the clone will quickly start moving nutrients from old growth to new. I used to have to add a little nutrients to the mist. But since reducing the light I can just mist them with plain water once or twice a day, to prevent them from drying out. After seeing some roots coming out of the plugs, I will start increasing the light.

Usually when people say that to me they are being sarcastic! 
I’ve also taken cuttings and dipped them in rooting compound and straight into ProMix which has been dampened with a light nutrient water. Many ways to clone.
The water in the jar method is great if you have to go out of town for a week, but it does take longer to get roots.

Makes total sense.
I hadn’t thought of it but I don’t always use the same lights or distance. Sometimes i use a tiny 12watt light and sometimes its a dim corner of one of my tents that all have different lights of different power ranges so my DLI with clones is never the same…
So what your saying is a lower powered light would be preferred so the plant doesn’t move nutrients mobily while it is still rooting??
Sounds to me I need to dial In my setup more
You only use it as a foliage spray or do you spray the plug as well??

I do use the same mix to soak the rockwool cube at first and I do spray it if it needs it to keep it moist if it starts to dry out. My mix is somewhere between 200-300ppm, i don’t shoot fir a flat number but rather ranges and it’s work out so far.
Once i see roots at all forming then I will spray the cubes but I many soray leaves until roots are available to uptake then I’ll feed them to. If the cube stays moist then I wouldn’t spray it till i saw roots if that makes sense
Yes lower light for at least the first week. The DLI chart starts off with clones at 12. I would start off at less than 10, and maybe 8. I use two 2. Foot t5 fluorescents for clones, and can’t read DLI on fluorescents. I just move the light as high as possible about 24-28 inches from the clones, and this seems to the best of anything yet.
