I dont post pics,but I use a humidity dome and 1 inch rockwoll cubes to root my clones.After the roots poke through the cubes you plant it in the soil cube and all.The most important thing about getting clones to root is humidity,for the first week you want to mist the inside of the dome a few times a day,get it as close to 100% relative humidity as you possibly can.Then on day 8 9 and 10 I'm removing the dome just a few minutes at a time to "harden themn off",this is when most of the rooting takes place i've found.You dont need strong light to root clones,a shoplight or any flourescent just about will do fine.There are many ways to root clones,thats just one of them

My vote goes to aero cloners. Once setup, it's super simple, set em and forget em.

Aero cloners usually has a better sucess ratio but i have like a 75% success rate with the water bottle method The way i do it is i clip my clone dip straight into the rooting solution mixed with water soak in cup for 24 hrs then plant in a bottle like so and wait a week or soo and hope for the best

From what I've heard and read,the simple bubble cloner seems to be probably the easiest and most effective,I came up using rw cubes and a dome and its hard to teach and old old dog new tricks for sure ha ha.I'm probably making a mistake never bothering to make a simple bubble cloner lol.

i may try an old aquarium at some point.. with a cover and light.. and sit the rw cubes inside keeping them moist with a little water.

here is my simple bubble cloner. 90% success rate with my first 10 cuts!






it doesnt really need to be light proofed though.

Heres to the bottle cloners!

And no it dosent have to be light proof! 100%( although I got about 100% when I used rockwool too...but this is much easier)

I have a rubermaid cloner for large batches...it is in the attic!



cutting 5 days No misting noting( set it and forget it)!

the water doesnt actually touch the plant? i guess the air stone must create a mist to get the cutting moist?

I've had 100% success with the aero cloner. I used to use Rapid Rooters, the aero cloner is easier, less messier, nothing to degrade into the hydro system like with the rooters. It's just a matter of finding what works the best for you.
