(pics) clone with out root hormone?

[John Wick]

No root hormone or anything. Just split the middle of the cutting with a razor and a little bit of an angle and stuck it in mystery soil I got from under a tree and added water. Must be good soil as I have two other females budding very well in it. it dropped a little bit during the day but then perked up last night. Same thing today it drooped a little, I think I over watered it. And now it's looking nice and perky and some new growth and its only 29 hours old. It already has pistils on it btw. I didn't realized this until after I planted it. this is the first time I've made a clone and I'm wondering if it's made it 29 hours should it be ok?

I'm not convinced it's nessicarly. It might help. But if you think outside the box. In nature and animal could chew up the plant and pieces could fall off into the ground and grow. I'm not convinced I need some humity dome either. I actually have a little fan air blowing on it so it can breath. It's doing very well. I'm sure it will make it if it already pretty much hasn't

I figured it was just Bullshit to sell people. Now I'm wondering if I should not have cut off the lower leafs. Should I have left those on? How do you think it k looks? . The tooth pick was there to support it but it's not leaning on it any more it's standing on its own. Do you think it will live?

Ppl use gels and powders when cloning in soil. I clone using an aerocloner and root hormones aren't necessary as the cutting manufacturers its own hormone and the gels only clog the manifold anyway.

I haven't used a rooting gel, powder or anything other than water for years with great success. No dome, no hormones and no vitamin Bs, just a heating pad and rock wool. I sometimes cut stem down the middle but most times I'm to lazy and just stick in the wool. I cut these about 5-6 days ago so this picture is of them at like three days after being cut. No wilting at all. Cheers.

I stick them in my cloner no hormones or gels, just cut and drop in. in about a week ive got nodes going.

You want to remove all but the last sets of growth, leave that big fan on but cut the leaf blades in half. This slows down the plant's respiratory cycle and gives the roots time to form. If you scarify or rough up the outside stem (where the palnt will be submerged), it also helps speed out root production. As does the tips others mentioned above, none of which call for you spending money!

Pulled up some cilantro sprouts threw them on top of the dirt they rooted back into the ground

That's crazy you mention that I had a thought about doing that but wasn't sure if it would work. It's still doing well but it droops after an hour of direct sunlight soI rremove it and it perks back up. Thanks for your comments they were quite helpful.

Ah ha! I knew it! . Thank you for confirming that.

Thanks everyone for the helpful advice. It's awesome when I find out my instinctive thinking is rational and others out there think the same way.

Btw I'm not convinced light leak causes hermies. Both my flowering females have been exposed to a LOT of light leak and are not showing any signs of being hermies

Smallest of like leak resulted all hermies

Then I think it was their genetics not light leak. How come my plants didn't hermie?
And I've read many other post where experienced growers don't believe in light leak.

5 different strains

I don't argue though
breeders with big names out here disagree if it works it works if it don't it dont

 

[John Wick]

Interesting. I have 2 different strains. Either I'm doing something right, or you're doing something else wrong. your plants must have gotten some INTENSE light leak. You didn't get that from street lights or house lights. Otherwise I don't buy your story about "5 different strains"

Neither am I. Stress can do it but you need to have an awful lot of stress. Ive messed up my light exposure with no ill effects.
