hi all

ive been getin 100% at taking cuttings.

-Tools-

baby starilzing liquid

wall paper sissors

clonex

jiffy pellets

stroage box
see throw or mines like a plastic chinnes contaner not transparent but light gets throw.Slim line storage box up side down so jiffy pellets are on the lid ready for cuttings.

methord

use baby staralizer liquid to clean your sissors with a peice of kitchen towel.

first i take cutting from mother plant about 5 nodes tall, cut xcess leaves from bottom up and leve 2 leaves on top with lill growth,then on last node i cut 90 degree angle with my sissors
then dip in clonex,then straight into jiffy pellet.The jiffy pellet should have a hole ready made for cutting.

then take all my cuttings which are all nicely packed in jiffy pellet place on lid mist, add storrage box and then leave for 3-4days then mist again just water.

by about a week u will see roots coming throw when you see roots ,place some thing under edge of box and prop up so air can get in.

i use a fish tank light white light for 24 hrs untill there all throw and get 100% every time.

hope this will help you when i take my next lot ill take pics so you can see how i do it.

Now youve either not done many cuts or you might mean 99% cos thats a very bold claim and very hard to believe

Not impossible but very very difficult

You use an eco so you must take a good amount,ie,60-100.....so 100/100 everytime unsure.gif

Owd,
I'm achieving 100% as well.

I use Clonex (same as eco), 2" Grodan rockwool cubes, a heatmat + the trays that come with, very weak nutrient mix and for the first 2 weeks, the cuttings get a spray feed every 2 days. I haven't had a clone die in years.

For moi, the spray feeds were what made the difference.


How are you doing cuts?

Ive took them all ways mate and get good results...but not 100% every time

Like i said earlier not impossible but i just find it hard to believe that anyone,not just you,cannot have ONE clone fail in years

Big up to them that have,i just find it hard to believe

I'm only being honest,which i always am

I'm only being honest as well mate. About 20% of the growers I know have the same success. I used to lose about 15% until I started the sprays. Giving the cuts food while they're trying to root helps a lot.
