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"
Lol only shits I give get flushed like I said I don't argue

No but they were just here over a roommate dispute. And as they were leaving they stopped to check out my grow. Love my state.

Straight water for aerocloners all day!

For your harder to clone genetics you can soak stems in bloom nutes at ~15% for an hour or two.
The phospherous can and will

help to promote root growth :)
Then pop into plain water. I
acfually prefer tap to RO or
filtered for cloning... keeps things cleaner... but I also have pretty good tap

I had an interesting experience with my leaf mold bins. Some soil got into the mix and was laying in some water drains at the bottom. A cutting that had been laying on its side with stem in the dirty wage had some banging roots started. Exposed to broad daylight and all. No aeration. stem was half covered in water. Make me contemplate an open tray cloning method. Something like a cookie sheet with cuttings scattered around some lightly phos' d water thats only a couple millimeters deep. Submerge only part of the stem at the tip so half the hollow area is exposed to O2. Can prop the cuttings so stem is taking water, as well as some dangling leaves.

Maybe im just high... but imagine never buying a not neoprene insert
Actually the humidity in my grow area is only 28% and it's still doing well. I wonder where the humidity dome thing came from. Seems stupid to me. Like it lowers the amount of oxygen they get by so much they usually die.

Actually I'm doing VERY well giving the conditions I'm growing in. Two very healthy flowering females with out spending a dime using the sunlight in my window. Btw this is my FIRST grow. How much did you have to spend on your first yield?

Do live on the east coast where there is more wetness and humidity
compared to lets say the west coast?
I think no dome on the west coast won't fly?
Yeah, that's true. I guess when I leave out in cali 5 years ago I did use a dome a couple times, but I also had success cloning without a dome out there too. I guess sometimes they do come in handy, but I haven't needed one in years. Cheers.

humidity domes will bring a wilted plant back...im not saying plants can't survive on there own .that would be bullshit..I'm saying some don't survive on their own in those cases a humidity dome is necessary.. just to be safe it's best to keep one on for a few days or it might wilt when your out or not paying attention and die...your plant doesn't have any roots right now it may not get any for a few weeks to month...

Ok I can see that. My clone has taken almost constant supervision. I was gone 7 hours one day and came home and found it very wilted near death. I gave it water and it came right back and is still doing fine. However it hasn't grown at all.

It can't grow yet because it's not a plant it's just a piece of another stuck in dirt. .. until it grows roots...With no dome and low humidity it's going to take a while.

How long should it take? . It used to wilt in direct sunlight within 45 minutes. So I removed it and gave it like 20 minutes a day. Now it can handle the light all day.

I don't know, could take a few weeks as long as a month. sometimes it never happens. those rooting jels and powders just increase your chances of getting one to root....u said animals eat plants they fall and root. definitely. .but that doesn't mean all the fallen branches root.. I assume The majority of them shrivel up and die...Imo you should do whatever you can to increase your odds of success.once you find what works for you stick to it.
