Cloning Made Simple

here is a quick simple cloning method that has worked for me.

I hope it helps someone who needs a couple clones every couple months without much effort. just keep the pellet watered just enough it stays moist but isnt sitting in water. you dont need much light. Ive placed them in the back corner of my veg cab, my computer desk top and the window seal. they rooted in all 3 places. They aren't real picky as long as the temps stay 72f - 85f where they are sitting.

Needed Items:
jiffy peat pellet - $2 for a pack @ Walmart
6oz cup - cheap - I use clear for ease of seeing roots when they pop
razor blade - cheap
scissors - find a pr lying around the house
cloning gel or powder - $4 for Schultz's @ Walmart

JT

No Humidity Dome?

Whats your success rate ?

awesome. exactly what I need. not planning on keeping a whole tray of clones around and this looks like a great inexpensive way to do it! much appreciated.

no humidity dome, nothing over the cup. no misting. I have taken about 30-35 clones over the last year this way and only had two not root. when I gave up on them, they were still alive and green.

I also have a diy aero mister cloner I built out of an empty kitty litter bucket that works good too. I get about 90% root ratio with it. The few that didnt root using the aero was due to stem rot. the water pump im using heats up the water in the pail to the high 80's. I need a smaller pump...lol
