I've heard its impossible, I heard it works dependent on your strain, or when you take the cutting, maybe... if you're lucky... in two weeks you could have roots, but the general consensus is don't waste your time (from all of my research). I've always been intrigued and couldnt afford to do it because of space and money at our old place/set up. HOWEVER, recently I swung by the local grow shop (what a trip, new to being in a legal state... my mind malfunctioned like the first time I went to a dispensary, lol, kid in a candy shop, thank god i wrote a list... and I still forgot something, anyway) and bought a propagation set up (mat, light, dome) and figured i'll give it a shot.
Originally I was using some Home Depot LED generic bulb and an old dome we used to germinate previously. I took two cuttings of lower branches off of my original Glueberry OG auto and one cutting of Alien vs Triangle, both were decent size cuts, not impish. They did alight the few days under that light/dome, but I believe I had the light too close. Saw a little burn.
New dome is set up with a solid T5 for plants (maybe i got robbed IDK, guy sold it up to me, I was gonna run cheapo Home Depot Delux but figured a grow like for prop is better) and nice dome plus a heat mat and thermometer, set to 72F, runs at 72.5-74F. figured 72-80 is good as I like 72-75F for my room, why not match it for propagation? I Used some new Canadian rooter cubes, I'll post the name, they seem pretty nice, preholed drill, pre-moistened like a rapid rooter, was told they don't expire, but they will eventually lose moisture over time in the bag.
Under the new set up, cuttings look happy.. I'm kinda like "WHAT is going to happen?" lol.
Took another 3rd cutting of GBOG Auto is lil over a day old, this was a bottom branch i missed lolipopping that looked like if any cutting roots, its gonna be her.. she didn't have pistils yet down there despite our plants being early flower so I snatched it. I have some Beary White's going too, just little imp branches (I've seen my cousin successfully clone NL#5 by taking small tiny cuts and directly them into aloe watered soil and they have damn near 95%-100% success rate and grow into big mamas for outsize and mama plants..) I'm trying for the hell of it. If one cut outta the bunch roots, I'm stoked.
If anyone wants to see pics and what not of this wondrous journey, i'll try to upload em later..
I'll keep you posted and post the dates of all cuttings and their progress.
