I have cloned about every way possible from r.wool to homemade cloners even have a turbo cloner. But coco is by far the best!! If pics show, 1st is 6 days. Canna coco heavy 16 and clonex. 2nd is exactly 12 hours later. 3rd is clone was cut 8 in. tall but got bent by dome.

Well done, i use to do all my cuttings in rock wool but since switching to coco the success rate has been much higher...

Six days is excellent to get them to root, i normally average around the 10 day mark before they start showing any signs of rooting...

Six day's is faster than usual for me. I have had them poke spikes in aero that fast, but not actual roots. I give credit to slowandeasy for showing me to pop em out of the cup to give O2. They go crazy after that!

Turbo cloner makes a nice table!

Temps light and humidity? How dry is the coco, do you give it a good squeeze? I'm trying to find a sweet spot myself right now. I've always done well in coco now I'm trying to turn it into a science I've made it difficult go figure

Those roots are insane and the clones are huge. How old are they?

The 2nd pics are 14 days I think. I will keep track this time and show some pics.. I think the key is to squeeze most all of the h2o out. The temps outside the dome were always in the 60s. Not sure inside. But heat mat was set at 78. Had to prop dome up because they were so tall so humidity was prob. in 90s. I spray dome when I see it isn't fogged up.

Would love to know the technique used for rooting clones in 5 days...

My method used, after removing the chosen cuts they are positioned in small pots of coco
its then they are watered, plain (temps between 19-21c) after this i place small transparent sandwich bags over each coco pot, each pot would resemble a miniature greenhouse if you like..

After this they are positioned on to a tray, and then placed in the corner of the tent away from direct light, temps are quite stable usually between 20-22c, they normally take between 9-11 days on average to root, though success rate is normally 100%.
Should i be using a root stimulant to speed the process up as i was always lead to believe plain water by itself is fine?

Forgot to mention clones are dipped in clonex before planting......
