Cloning with Rooting hormone...Problems?
I've been having problems getting clones to root lately. I use both botanical aero cloner and rockwool cubes, and have found the stems start getting slimy after 2-3 days and most eventually never make it as a clone. I've tried everything I could think of including completely disinfecting my aero cloner etc etc. So then I changed from powder rooting homone "(Rootone") to a gel GroTech. No change. So a week ago, I took about 20 cuttings, and using rockwool cubes, I separated and them into two groups. Half of them used the gel and the other half just straight tap water.
Result, after one week: 90% of the one with gel are dead, and the other 10% is on the way out. The ones using just straight tap water are all HEALTHY. Anyone care to comment? The 2 oz of gel cost me $14! |

It's all Voodoo. What works for some kills all for others. My "secret" ingrediant is soaking each stem in Hormex (B1 and IBA) for one minute before gel and cube. Took my success rate from 45% to 100%  My only questions would be: tub water/air temps, using a dome? 75º is optimum. I say Domes are deadly but, many disagree.

If you can't find it, I'm sure any B1+IBA formula would do (Indo Bu...something ... Acid)

i have great luck with tap water, rockwool cubes, and plain old rooting powder from the garden store. perhaps its not in the products you use but in your technique.

Rooting powder caused me much anguish. Hormex + Vermiculite is my technique, like FreezerBoy said, you just gotta find what works for you.
