Clone city up in there!

Haha, I’ve seen that happen many times, after those roots hit the water, they GO! Leave them too long and they all tangle up and grow together, and become a nightmare! See , that method just works!

That’s a damn clone village with families and all! I actually used to have a walk in closet that looked like that at my old place, that’s why I’m trying to build something more my OCD style for here . Plus I don’t need nearly as many clones any longer so I can make it totally unique now. I forgot to mention about the low light. I use two small 14w each fluorescent bulbs over my clones in a custom built setup with reflector. That’s an EXCELLENT POINT @Seamonkey84 PS I like your style

Hmmm, you have a shelf that fits right in that tent huh? I was looking at propogation tents actually but it made me think I could make one myself much cheaper and of course customize it.

I use aeroponic sprayers in a diy cloner/Rubbermaid tote I add roots excel to the water. All I do is cut clones stick the end inside an aloe leaf then put in cloner for 7-10 days.

Here @Ftlob this thread was just opened up by TopShelf. There are already a few easy and successful clone devices and ideas adressed in here. If your still having trouble one of us can help you out. Also a ton of info on the rest of OG here if you do a search.

I don’t need nearly so many myself either, but a lot of that was back up clones/cuttings from pheno hunting, replacing old bonsai moms, and also new strains I got as cuttings. Keeps me busy lol.
By bonsai moms, I’ve kinda taken it a bit extreme. I’ve learned to maintain and pack them tight like this. Heavy feeding and constant pruning.
This is my shelf of bonsai moms and some clones that I’m growing out to bloom
Oh, this is a 2in1 tent, the veg space has a built in shelf, but my new veg tent will have a wire shelf rack put into it as well.
Note to anyone any everyone keeping mother plants and doing a continuous grow with no down/fallow time. Keep up with a preventative treatment regimen! As you can imagine, with conditions like mine, bugs and disease can spread rapidly. Even if it’s not from takin in clones, bugs can easily hitch a ride in on your cloths (or pets!).

I built one. Cut stems at a 45 and then dip in clonex gel.
Air stone in the bucket.
Also bought one.

Eau naturelle? Is this a French pun?
I average 10 days on seeing roots form using just a party cup with water. This method has failed me plenty, but nowhere near as many times as it has succeeded.
I tried doing an A/B test using a party cup and a party cup with an air bubbler and noticed no difference other than the water level in the agitated cup depleted more rapidly.

Yes , yes it is lol, or an attempt at one anyway. Hmmm, I wonder why it works so damn well for me but not for you? Perhaps cuts, size of clone, placement, mothers? Idk weird

The problematic variable is most likely me. Don’t get me wrong the cup method works fantastically, but I’m closer to a 90% success rate.

Foop Cloning Gel - 100% success - best clones ever. IMHO

Do you think the shorter light cycle helped?

No, because the way I do it now is under 18/6 and they root just as fast or faster.

Thanks for all the info folks.
Lots of great ideas.
I’ve done them a few times with straight pro mix with a dip in rooting powder.
Took about 3 weeks to get going.
Picked up a super sprouter spray cloner $120 here but worked fantastic for me.
Added some Rapid start in rez and put in collars.
5 days I had roots on a few. By 10 days some were a ft long.
5 days.
10 days.
Into the cups.

If your growing in soil, it’s really best to plant them once the roots are an inch or two. the structure of the roots are different growing in soil instead of aero/hydro. But if it’s working well for you and there’s no signs of stress, then what do I know lol.
When I plant mine in the plugs, I wait till there’s about 1/2 inch or so of roots sticking out of the plug, then after planting, I’ll stick a clear plastic cup or container over them for a day or so to prevent wilting from the drop in humidity (I don’t usually harden them off in the rooting domes).
