I never used any Gels like that for Cloning, i guess it helps doing it faster.
What i do is gave em an Airdome till they have the first roots & then repot em into the medium i prefer.

i helped friends years ago doing it with that kind of gels and did not see really a positiv effect that makes it worth buying...

Yes, canna rhizotonic is worth it. imho

I have purchased for several friends a 6 spot little baskets. We all use the 1" rock wool cubes cloning machines that come with vita grow nuit sample pkg. ( Amazon $37.00) When the sample pkg ran out the local grow shop had Clonex get and root/seedling starter that has worked. I have used Rizo over the years had great success with stalk too. Don't run it now as the type and way I grow wont complement that much. We have a 100% success rate that I know of we trade clones and haven't heard of problems.

that is so true you wont beat the rhizotonic it full of goodness

[KITCHA]

Used rhizotonic in coco fir years and recently replaced it with mycos that now give me better results in terms of root mass and much cheaper. I've also dropped cannazym without any noticeable difference. Canna AB and mycos for the win.

I take the Cuts, Soak in water for 30minutes-1hour, Trim any leaves if needed, scrape the sides of the stem that will be in the rockwool cube, then make the final diagonal cut, and let the cut/clone soak in VERY VERY VERY light molasses mixed water for another 1hour. Sometimes I get busy and they soaked for up to 6hours lol..

This whole time the Rockwool cubes have been soaking in just plain tap water. I rinse the cubes off again before placing them into the container they will stay in. I get A water bottle cap and toothpick and put some clonex gel into the cap to dip the cuts into.. The toothpick is so I can lightly coat the higher part of the stem that will be in the rockwool cube, but couldnt be covered because the bottle cap is to shallow.

Once thats ready, now I start to dip the cuttings into the gel and coat what ever is needed with the toothpick.. I lightly wack the cuttings in the air when I take them out of the water theyve been soaking in.. Too much water and the gel wont make a nice coat. Then I place the cuts into the cubes. If there is A huge gap between stem and rockwool material. I atleast try to use the toothpick to close the hole/gap at the surface of the cube.

All done, now I fill the container the cubes are in to where the water line is up to almost half the cube. Once the water dries out, I wait for atleast 24hours before filling the water back up to the bottom 1/4 of the cube.. Once that dries I wait another 24hours and fill it back up, same amount again. I keep doing that till I decide to check t o see if theres atleast some roots showing on the bottoms.

Heres the tray I clone in lol.. Nothing fancy, I dont use A cover or anything. Ill mist them with water the first couple of days, but then I usually forget to mist them again. They usually have massive roots coming out everywhere before I even have to lift them up to check if theres any..
FYI-Cut on the right has the drooping leaves because I took those from A plant that had SUPER bad nitrogen toxicity but I needed to save it.



I always get roots like this. Ever Since Ive started cloning recently, I've had 100% success rates.. Even when cutting them and placing them into A small bottle with water, and just making sure the water is filled to the top..



Here is the bottle I've tried cloning in, and its worked 4 different times so far. The last 2 times I had 2 cuttings in it.. Nubs showed around 2 weeks, and I think this picture was the 3rd week.
