'Solo Cloning' - Cheap and Easy Cloning
- Thread starter Peregrin Took
- Start date
I just transplanted my first batch of sensi star clones using this method, and it worked just as the took says, I love it. I use small styrofoam cups inverted over tylenol and pill bottles, because they are the right size, and they taper at the top to fit the inverted cup. An X cut in the top, then today, I just cut up the side of the cup to remove it and the clones had beauty roots. Mine rooted in 2-3 weeks, but had to wait another week till I was ready to transplant, no worries.
This is by far the best cloning method I have tried, and I have done, and designed many units. Thanks for this thread.

Many times i put them in a normally glass with water-lights cames in-but they dont care-they gives me roots anyways.
But will try those.

good shit
I got 100% on my second batch, and I had 5 extras, so I left them in the clone cupps untouched.......... for over 9 weeks, and they are still fine, did not add a drop of water or touch them in all that time.
I may take a vacation this year, now that I can leave clones long enough, very cool, thanks to FB and the Took.

this is great!! thanks Peregrin Took!!
Cool thread.
nice thread for sure! gonna give this a go tonight and ill leet you know how it goes 
Very informative. Im gonna give it a try. Ill post the outcome sometime in the future.
I saw this thread a few days before it was time to clone, so I decided to give it a try.
I did most like normal in rockwool cubes and three in plain water.
I had a 100% root from both groups but the cuttings in water rooted a week sooner.
I found a new rooting program.
Thank you.
**EDIT**
I used the solo cup method with all of my cuttings (eighteen of them) during my next cycle.
I do not know what I did different, but this time the cuttings took 4 weeks to root. I did still have a 100% root.
I will try again to see what the results are.

Is temperature a very important factor with this method? My room is in the low 60's when lights are off, and about 70 when they are on.
me too on the temp detail. 60* to 70*...need heat mat?

No airation?
Root seems tiny for 16 days...
I clone in a bubbler box, with pool noodles and airstones...
10-14 days serious root mass!

Wrote this 12 years ago. Still works 100%.
Yeah there are other ways that will root your cuttings bigger and faster.
How does the old saying go?
"Good. Fast. Cheap....pick two"

Good timing for this thread to resurface. Have to give this a try.

After trying, root riots, jiffy pellets, biobizz light and coco.
The most successful way for me with near 100%, has always been rooted in water.
Really easy, much less maintenance, cheaper and more successful in my experience.
I use a floating raft system with a floating styroform board with holes poked through with a airpump and air stone attached underneath.
Great post, thanks for sharing
