great info. I was wonder what the heck I was going to do in order to collect pollen. its so simple.

A bump for this method. The fastest one so far was 6.5 days to show a 1/16" root. A few take about a week, others around 2 weeks.

The house I'm in now has a mold problem that was interfering with my cloning success, even with good air circulation. I never had a problem using rapid rooters or peat pellets where I lived across town, but here it wasn't going well. Cloning in perlite wasn't working. I can't believe this was a last ditch effort instead of my main method.

Cloning in plain tap water deserves more credit than it gets, I think.

easily the best cloning thread i've ever read. can't wait to do this, so simple, saves space and money.

lol there's so many sophisticated methods to cultivate and propagate our beautiful plant, it makes me smile sometimes because in the end, its just a PLANT!
this method shows that, also that not everything about growing is numbers and high-tech products.

peace

yep simplicity rules

anyone cloning in perlite in an ebb & flow setup? such as beer cups filled with perlite and irrigated by watering cycles

I just wanted to add my own 2 cents, about five years ago my mom introduced me to this method because she always laughed at how much i spent to clone my girls. She just put her flowers in a shotglass of water and stuck them in the window. To make a long story short i found a way to get roots in water in as little as six to eight days. Just use willow water (water that soaked with cut up willow branches overnight).

damn really? ive never heard of that, any idea why it makes a difference? and just for my own curiosity, how did you decide to try putting willow branches in your water lol? this sounds interesting.

In a few botany books that i've read it was noted that the willow tree has a root growth hormone. Upon further research i found that some people had tried using willow water as a substitute for cloning gell. I compared water cloning times from several strains and found that on average willow water allowed for transplant in 6-9 days.

ah, yeah as i got to thinkin i figured that it'd have to be some sort of natural rooting hormone. cool, that's great to know sativahybrid, thanks. im surprised i dont hear of this more.
peace

I tried this method out yesterday and took about 40 clones from 12 different plants. super easy to set up--fill cups with water, piece of tape for a label
what an easy way for a guy like me to keep track of seperate varieties!
