clones-no body talks about time scale

[dansbuds]

Yeah man I stopped at WW and they didn't carry vermiculite so I got some peat-moss. I figured that in theory you could use cotton balls or yarn right. Why not peat-moss?

I tried it the first time with disastrous results. I used tap water and the water here had a reaction w/ the peat and damn it stunk! It smelled so strong of rotten eggs that I had to toss em even after re-potting.
But in 2 trays full all 54 had roots in 5 days. The smell was just so over powering that it triggered the hurl impulse, so they had to go. You really can't imagine to smell!

Then I done a couple of runs with distilled water and they kicked ass.
The last run I had picked up a bag of vermiculite and started it on 4/20. I had high hopes for that batch to cause I finished cutting and had em set to go at exactly 4:20 pm on 4-20. LOL But not one of them rooted.

I know that the peat-moss works 100% with distilled or bottled spring water and I have kept em going in peat if they are clones I am depending on. I only run the tests w/ cuts I really don't need and give em away if they do root.

All the clones I sell to dispensaries are done in peat-moss/bottled water or are rooted in a bubble cloner/bottled water.

Oh and 50/50 peat/vermiculite wicks too well. Cuttings almost always rot off before they develop roots. Both with tap or bottled water.

Stress , thats messed up how your tap reacted with the peat . mines bad too here & had to switch to RO so i should be good to try the peat moss , have to hit the garden center anyways for some promix & nursery pots . gonna have to pick some up . oh & thanx for the heads up on the 50/50 mix not workin out , knowin me ...i would have tried it . Thanx again stress

growem green & stay safe ....Dan

I have great success using ff light warrior in small cups with holes in the bottom and soak it before putting cutting in and place on small heat pad. the heat makes it dry out a lil faster so i dont mind it being real wet at first. 90% or more. but everyone has to find what works for them and thier set up.
