Shroomys cloning in vermiculite tek

[shroomyshroom]

Hi guys I see so many ppl on here giving advise on what they claim to be the easiest and most effective way of cloning... and to them I say.....

The method I am about to show you is about as set and forget as you can get..... You basically set it up come back in 7 - 10 days and they are ready to be transplanted and it wont cost you more than $10.00 Australian

First off you are going to need the following equipment:

1 x ice-pole tray (used to hold the medium and clone)
1 x plastic bowl (used as the rez)
1 x bag of vermiculite (used as medium)
1 x knife or drill (to make holes in the ice-pole tray)

OK lets get started...

I'm not gonna go into it to much cause there is 10,000 threads on how to cut clones and how to prepare them b4 transplanting them into the cloning medium... all I am simply showing is the method used once you have cut them

Step #1 Drill holes into the bottom of the ice-pole tray.
Step #2 Fill the ice-pole tray with vermiculite.
Step #3 Moisten the verm in the ice-pole tray with water.
Step #4 Fill plastic bowl with water.
Step #5 Place ice-pole tray with moistened vermiculite into the plastic bowl with water in it.
Step #7 Cut your clones on a 45 degree angle.
Step #8 Dip your clones in rooting powder or gel, you can even skip this step if going organic.
Step #9 Poke hole into medium and place clone in hole, Then firmly press medium around the clone.

Presto you have just created a set and forget for your cloning no humidity done needed no misting needed

This is what it should look like once you are done

I will try take photos of the whole process on the week end to help ppl who still have no clue


the 4th photo is what they will look like after a day or 2

Ohhh yeah i forgot to mention i do a this out side so if it worked for me... the ppl that do everything inside should have no probs at all.....

Very nice post. I have used this method myself, but I do it in a tiny aquarium. I dump the vermiculite in the aquarium. Fill it to about 4 inches deep. Add about 2 inches of water and thats it... I have had a great success with this method also. Set it and forget it...

Excellent post Shroomy,
Love how you are cloning outside with this method and they look really nice after 2 days. Maybe ill get myself some verm after all

 

[shroomyshroom]

Thanx for the kind words guys


here they are after 4 days out side at temps of +33C every day

they are looking great and have already started with new growth

pics are with and with out flash so that there is no cheating

I'm using this same technique with perilite, trying it with dirt too using bottom up watering. No success yet, I've had one clone in there for 2 weeks with no sign of roots, just took a few more cuts and tried some different things on the stems of the cuts like little scaring, I split the bottom of one into 1/4s. Hopefully mine will turn out as good as yours, although I am not using hormones, i heard it can take a bit to go back into veg if you use too much hormone.

Hi #1cheesebuds thanx for dropping by mate

they will be transplanted into the ground to finish up in the next 5 - 7 days just want to make sure they have a healthy root system and then in the ground they go

Shroomy,
I'm an old mushroom grower myself, and reading this thread reminded me that I have a 40# bag of medium grade verm out in my shop. Totally forgot it was there. Thanks much Dude for the thread. No more rockwool or peat pucks for me. One of those duh moments...why didn't I think of that? lol

I tried to get some vermiculite to use as cage medium for my tarantula, I was told it's illegal in California. This was 3 years ago.

Nope not illegal, did you go in there looking like this? they must have been messing with you.
