Hello,

Well the topic says it all, had 30 cuttings but with no roots. using clonex and humidity doom.
Seen countless grow video's for cloning and cuttings and read books about growing also. However anyone got any pic on taking a great cutting. Shit man, 10 days and nothing. Gonna try again as soon as I get some answers from you guys...

Try poking through CLONERS- a collection of various methods Find one similar to what you're doing and refer to the original thread.

Without specifics I'd say excess plant material may be a problem. Supporting plants takes roots and we don't have any yet. Here are two examples of trim jobs I made for others.



How are your rootzone temps? I've experienced nothing but death under 68ºF and prefer 75º-80º F. By keeping cuts short and well trimmed, I can clone dome free in RH as low as 15%

Exellent post.

As usual I find myself agreeing with FreezerBoy. One consideration he didn't mention is lighting. Freshly cut clones don't need or want much light. Ambient is plenty.

Clones need the correct lighting/temperature and photoperiod.

10 days is not that long if you have no heat, you need patience!.
If you want almost 100% success, repeatedly? get an aeroponic cloner, takes all the hit and missery out of cloning, there is no reason to lose cuttings these days, even the cheapest x-stream will do.
You can find a way that fits your system and gives good results in time, why bother?, a cloner will allow you to count on the cuts from the 1st use. Embrace technology

Don't worry man, some people have lot's of trouble when they start cloning, I certainly did.

I tried lot's of ways, aeroponics, bubbler, sometimes they worked great, others were a complete failure.

So then I tried bottom heat, tray, dome (sorry FreezerBoy), Clonex, Jiffy pellets, 2 36W cfls.


NOW I GET THIS, 38 OUT OF 38 CLONES, 14 DAYS, PATIENCE IS THE KEY, DON'T ANNOY THEM





ALL WITH HEALTHY ROOTS





This works for the variety I grow, yours may be different. Try different ways, one day it will all happen, it did for me.

Happy cloning.

Might even take longer than 14 days for the roots to poke out the sides.

yeah, 14 days or so is standard for me, but I have seen results in less. I try to keep the root zone as close as possible to 80F, a 24/7 light cycle, and I trim most all of the larger fans. I also use 2-23w CFLs, at least 12" away.
In the winter I need to use the dome because it's really dry here, but when it's warmer out, I just mist daily.

Yep, I've had roots in a bubbler in 5 days, good roots.

I just don't do it that way any more.
