Cloning - 10 Easy Steps to Successful Cuttings

[Budelaire]

I have recently switched to Jiffys for taking cuttings and would like to show my new method, having cut compost out of my Grow Roow, this is my new way.

It is a cleaner method with the added benefit of not having to disturb the pots when separating the cuts, and also mixing genetics in the 1 ltr pot by using individual pellets and placing within their own pots (which can be labelled individually).

Anything can be used to house them and indeed wrap them up!

I find that by wrapping the container thoroughly with cling film and "setting and forgetting" for two whole weeks, it always works... it's just too easy to whip a propagator lid off and upset their environment, therefore disturbing them!

100% using this way... hope it helps new growers save their Genes! Remember the secret is to leave them.

Wicked guide and great timeing foe me, took 6 cuttings the other day and lost 1 so far, But that maybe because I keep lifting the lid of the propergator. Going to take a few more tonight and wrap the propergator with the cling film, Should stop me from looking in there every few hours

Thats the key my friend.

2 Weeks without any nosey parkers and they all should have roots visible and if not they will be about ready to pop out and should stay bolt upright without the lid on etc despite no visible roots as yet.

If the environment is bang on, and the genetics are enthusiastic you will get them even quicker and by the time you take them out in 14 days you should get new yellow growth visible on them were they have rooted a while ago and are growing fully again.

Oi ya flash fucker, get a job or something and stop fucking around with Photoshop!

Cool guide bro, makes mine look like a 5 year old done it!

5*'s you the man

[Budelaire]

Only trying to help mate.

This is the cheap ass version.

Clonex then into just tap-water plumped Jiffy's. They are in a washing up bowl, when theres no cling film I use a Tescos bag

under the big lights but on the floor, bottom right, shaded by bigger plants etc and 4-5ft from the 1200w of bulbs.

Easy peasy eh?

I'm taking 30 in 10 days or so, gonna use Rootrainers, Coco, Baby Bio rooting gel and erm.. cling film.. which I was gonna use anyway.. HONEST!!

However now I'm not so sure about trimming the leaves, I have some 50% shade netting to put over the top so they don't burn up so I may just "leaf" them uncut now that I've seen it work for you
