Cloning in peat pods, help!

[Deece]

Hi,
I have only cloned once before and it was with a dwc setup and worked fantastically.
I am trying cloning a second time, this time with peat pods, and there doesn’t seem to be any action and it’s been two weeks.
I am misting daily but I’m unsure about to what extent the root zone needs watering.
Also, take a look at the tray I’m using. The peat pods are wedged into these square slots but I’m concerned I might be restricting the roots from growing outward. Should I get rid of the insert?
How can I salvage these clones??? Thanks in advance for your help.

They didn’t die so root are coming.

There are better ways to clone as you found out. I would never use peat pots. For anything lol.

Lol…
Do you suggest I wait this one out… or start new clones fresh in the cloner??

This is how I have cloned with 100% success.
The last step ie putting them in soil can be in any sized pot I use 3” cow pots now but at the time I used peat pots…not what you used but peat pots with soil. Reason I use small pots is managing my space available to fit more in a smaller space until they are bigger and I have more space available when up potting them into larger pots
Aloe Vera is a natural and wonderful rooting agent.

Cloning with aloe Vera

If you want to salvage clones gone bad Take partial leaf from aloe plant you will use as rooting agent. Remove the clones from water and scrape off the “bark” from where it would be in soil down to bottom of cut paying particular attention to where the nodes were and stick it in the middle of the aloe leaf and get all that good growing goo on the stem and stick it in seed starter mix and mist the leaves couple times a day. Aloe saved a couple of clones I had tried with a cloner bucket that w…

Hope this helps

Follow @Skydiver’s procedure; he has it down.

Actually had a bit of root action. Potted them up and used the Aloe trick on a few.
Thanks!
