Let’s Clone a Cut Together
I’ve never had a problem cloning a fresh cut by using this simple method. It has been mentioned above by @other_barry, but here’s a step-by-step with some pics.

Here are our tools and facilities:


Clonex gel & TakeRoot powder, sterilized shears (Flame & ISO), Rapid Rooter, seedling tray + dome, and a nearby bottle of Rhizotonic (HatTip @Jinglepot, may he return to us soonest :pray:).

JP’s Frankenstein Clone-Only 2022 Bonsai Mother, to be cloned.

Take a nice sized cut snipped an inch below a growth node and remove most of the big leaves entirely. Clones need growth nodes, not fan leaves!

Dip the section below the first node in CloneX, then into the rooting powder.

Sorry for the lousy pic, but this “Double Dip” trick is the key to success.

The Rapid Rooter is slit on one side down to the middle so the goopy cut can be inserted entirely in the rooter.

When the rooter is inserted in the tray, the slit is closed. Add a nice shot of RhizoTonic from the top to wet everything down then mist the cut and the dome and close it up.

Now start the Countdown: Ten Days to Roots!

  • Day One: Dome misted with water, vents closed, seed mat heater on low, 18/6 light schedule,
  • Day Two: Mist the dome morning & night
  • Day Three - Four: Vents open, mist twice
  • Day Five: Bottom feed pure water, vents open, mist twice
  • Day 6 - 7: Close vents, spray twice
  • Day 8 - 9: Vents closed, bottom feed 25% organic veg nutes, spray twice
  • Day 10: Remove the dome, transplant once you see roots.

Here’s the happy camper, transplanted in FF Happy Frog + worm castings and a shot of Rhizotonic just to moisten a bit.

Here’s the method in detail, thanks to Mr. Green on GWE:

Absolutely an amazing idea! I’d be willing to chip in 100% when I can. He really does crush it with these doesn’t he? So awesome and the way it’s done makes everyone look/watch too it’s awesome

Y’all are awesome. I went 6/6 on MOB cuts, 2/3 for Apes in Space and 2/3 for the Blackout Bobby with the last one still in the cloner. I already have some of the snips off the Fruity Pebbles OG F4 throwing out roots! Thank you so much for the help!

This past spring I probably gave out 100 cuts. A lot didn’t take just due to lack of knowledge. I’d like to be able to do that with rooted cuts this year.

Funny you say that, last night I was walking the dog when I got hit with a delightful skunk scent that within a few mins got overwhelming! I decided to explore a bit, I walked about 7 houses and it hit me like a ton of bricks! And it’s about what I remember of the roadkill ! Dank AF, skunk with rotting flesh it’s heavenly! As I rounded the corner there’s an 9-10ft fence with a security camera, I jumped up for a look. Buddy has 4 plants , gotta be 8-9 ft and as wide! Huuuuuge huge buds everywhere and the smell was burning my eyes/nose! I was in heaven, I walked off home, drooling, thinking about how to segue into “hey I happened to notice you have some of the dankest shit I’ve ever smelled, how can I get a cut or beans” I’m gonna do it too :wink: the stuff was easily noticeable from a block away, crazy!
