a few mo9re notes on problem area to high temp.s also helped hold that humidity thats was to high,although it didnt afect soil temps.also the clones put out roots above soil,air roots..but still taking longer for soil roots to form if the do,only way i know is to open dome a little moe,that goes to show how high temps and humidity was an wat clones did.its all good since i have my other area,that works great. peace moon/
That's what I use too. Pay just under $4.00 for it. Brand doesn't matter, just make sure its indole-3- buteric acid. Many aren't aware, but indole-3 used at the right time can make every seed u plant be female. Gently slide out of the pot & lightly dust roots. The timing is important. Plant should have 3-5 leaf sets. Later than that is well.... too late. I soak seeds 1-2 hrs, poke sm planting hole, dust a little over them before covering with soil too. Seedling roots like crazy, faster & more if them. I prefer rootone with fungicide, but haven't found it in a while. But the fungicide prevents damping off. I don't care for the gel. Limits its use. Indole-3 does more than just root clones!
I soak mine in cider, I mean in side her, lol
LMAO.
I have been using Aloe lately... Works fine. I went to pick up some more KLN today and noticed some Botanicare power clone solution. I could not beolive how expensive it was 25$ for 8oz.

The grow stores around here sell the same stuff by a different name. It's called dip'n grow. It comes concentrated and you dilute it to the your desired concentration. It's all I ever use if I'm cloning.

hey man do you still use this stuff in the aero cloner? if you did if would be sick and greatly appreciated if you did a tutorial of how you root your clone from the cut to the ppm to the temps and even showing how you apply the rooting hormone. thanks

Now I'm looking at my Walmart "couldn't find my Rootone" Schultz "Take Root" ... 0.1% Indole-3-Butyric-Acid in a whole new light. 
Dug up some raspberry bushes from under the pool deck, wanted to transplant them. Used Rootone the first time around, got 3 out of 6 to root and they were bare-rooted.
They tend to look dead, then send out a few leaves.
Didn't use anything on the second batch of dug-up-raspberries. Jury is still out.
For the next raspberry plant removal session ==>
I had been thinking about mixing up something, 1 teaspoon / 1 Tablespoon in 2 quarts, pouring that around the roots ... sometimes it's not convenient to grab the Rootone when you're wrestling with raspberries to get them transplanted.
Going to have to stop by the garden section next time I'm in Home Depot.

How are you guys prepping the rockwool cubes. I have been using clonex liquid, and roottek gel, used to get good strike rates 80 %or so.I don't know if this rediculous heat is the problem but my clones are very yellow within a few days. I cut 100 2 weeks ago and I have 20 that rooted. I try to pH the water with clonex solution in it to 5.5 and soak the cubes for an hour or 2. I think the gel and the solution may be overkill. I am going to head over to Home DePot tonight and take a few to try it out.
I stopped using cloning solution,B'cuzz products,liquid Karma when I found out after a grow without them that I was wasting my money.Soaking the cubes in 5.5 water is good but not necessary either.I know the LK freaks will disagree vehemently because I used to be one.Try 1 grow without the LK and see for yourself
I guess green light is another good product that is off the market. I guess I will buy a couple different powders and see which one works best.
They sell Bonide rooting powder at Home Depot/Lowes now. Works just as good as the green light. I soak my cubes in tap water ph'd between 5.5-5.8 and hardly ever lose a clone.
Pretty sure this rooting product CAN NOT be used in Washington and Oregon legal gardens due to the active ingredient indole-3-butyric acid...
yes indeed, on the do/not use OSHa approved chemical list for state pot production...

I was recently given a sample of a product by Rx green solutions called life cloning gel. It almost cut in half my rooting time compared to the root tek i usually use.

It's not rocket science, or some proprietary recipe. Green Light was .1% IBA there's literally hundreds of products on the market that are the exact same thing, you just have to look at the label. Miracle-Grow's rooting hormone, for example, is the same formulation.
ACTUALLY.....
Most products sold are .01, .001, .0001 % IBA. Green Lite was .10, by far was the strongest out...
Looks like Miracle Grow is the same strength...
