Hi there folks so I’ve tried this about 4-5 times now and only got roots once so if I’m doing anything wrong please let me know.
I have 4 cuttings from 2 plants to a little heated tray and dome,bottle of clonex,scalpel,alcohol and root riot cubes(soaked for 24hours in 1ml rhizo)
Image

I cut the stems at an angle and gave them a little scrape with the scalpel and dipped them in clonex and into root riot cubes,cut the leafs ends back then under the dome. There now sitting in a dark cupboard at 26c with 100% humidity.
Image
So I think I’m supposed to keep checking them for a couple of days now keeping the humidity up.
Well folks I’ll keep this updated in next couple of days
You need the cut's under a light. Also you don't need to soak root riot's.
Apart from that all good. :oik!:

The one thing I might add is that my heating mat gets warmer than I like. I usually start the mat at lights on until the temp and humidity are where I want them and then turn it off for the rest of the light cycle. I keep a hygrometer inside the dome and try to keep humidity above 70%-75% and the temperature around 75F-80F or 24C-27C.
hi trippster the hygrometer says 29c and my humidity is 77% do you think I’ll get away with that mate and I forgot to get freezer bags(ziplock)today so can’t try it this time round either.

I have just tried cloning for the first time, only took 1 cut and it rooted within a week.
Took the cut, cut back the leaves, dipped it into some root-it cloning gel and then into one of them expanding coco pellets. It then went into a make shift propogater and then into the corner of the veg tent, lights on 18/6. Checked 7 days later and had roots.
lol soon as I read this I went straight in and took them out of the dark cupboard and put them in tent thanks for that finchmad might be one of them reasons I keep ballsing it up all the time haha

Stick one in a pot of dirt or coco that`s had a good drink of water or a low fert ec if using coco, then cover it for 7 to 10 days with half a 2 liter pop bottle that's been misted well inside and mist plant. Dont touch it then for at least a week unless you see leaves start droop bad and see how you go after 10 days remove bottle and if its still stood to attention after an hour or so it should be rooted through if not do the plant misting thing with plant and bottle and replace it for a 3 to 4 days. I can`t remember having any take more than 2 weeks to root through. You can use rooting hormone or not, tbh ive great success not using anything. Ideal for taking just a few clones

ahh I’ve stuck them into clonex 2scoops and root riot cubes was thinking of trying straight into coco aswell thanks mate.

Yes I think you will be fine. From what I've read you simply want higher humidity for higher temps without letting them get too hot. My son said he runs his at around 30C and 85-90% and he sees roots in 7-10 days, I usually see roots in 10-14 days.

If you reduce the amount of hash you consume in order to preserve your glass you've missed the whole point.

The hash is more important than the glass.

I’ve got the humidity up to 90 and the temps down to 26 now trippster so she’s on the window sill like mr nice was saying.

So I’ll leave them there for now and see how they get on.
Thank you all for helping me out folks it’s very much appreciated now I just need roots lol.

Had a look this morning and looks like 2 are goners but on the other hand there’s 2 still standing lol.
Image
Just wondering if the 2 that are still standing are still there because they were from the bottom of the plant(bottom branches). Will be definitely trying the ziplock bag way the next time.
