What light do you have on it, what distance from clone top, what do you have them in, and did you cut any of the leaves?

didn't know you could root weed in just a cup of water, surely you need oxygen aswell
what will it be growing in when its rooted?

That's what's called a Granny cloner which you change out the water every day.

Three weeks is a long time. I'd take more cutting and use rooting gel or powder and place it into some sort of medium. I've never not had a clone root this way

Some plants root easily. I've use bubble cloners etc. but I still use a 12 oz Dixie cup and use a clear Dixie for the top cover. Slightly cut the first inch or so off the drinking side of the clear cup. Poke holes in both the bottom and clear top. I use red for the bottom. Promix only moistened and the cover goes on. To much moisture and no roots will form. And I let it dry out or it will never make roots, it doesn't have to. Just like the kid in the basement. Anyway in a couple weeks roots will grow. Usually before. I use a rooting compound. I have used honey. I also use a warming mat if needed. I leave the clear tops on for a couple days. Then start keeping it off longer and longer to keep them searching for moisture.

Here's an older thread of mine which I transition from a DWC raft cloner to passive hydroponic cloning:

Cloning with just a glass of water is slow and unreliable. Both times I did it I waited 3-4 weeks for the first root and both times it was a single strand of root growing 2-3 feet long. Hard to start a cloner with a single root, eh?

Good luck, BigSteve.

indirect lights in a solo cup, cut all but the top 4 leaves

You should see chapter 9 of the tutorial in my sig.

Light & leaves are important.

coco is the quickest way i have found to root cuttings, fill a solo cup with coco soak the coco with canna rhyzotonic put clear plastic bag over the top to form a dome put it under your light in 70f temp and dont touch it for 2 weeks ive had 100% success rate with this method

I have 100% success rate in the same timeframe using just Polyurethane foam, and ph'ed water.

how about cutting off more stem, using honey and putting into the grow medium?

cool, i'm gonna try your method

Extra cool if you show us your results.

Keep in mind it assumes you know basic MJ cloning techniques.

Green stemmed chutes root better than woody ones. This is important when you have a trained bonsai mom.

To tell the truth I only tried twice with just a glass of water. I was just starting out with cloning and wasn't having any luck getting roots the usual way with Jiffy pellets and a dome. I eventually worked out a cloning technique that produces roots regularly after 8-12 days in the dome. After that I had no reason to sit around staring at a glass of water.

Good luck, BigSteve.

roots need darkness to grow. if you just have a cup a water and lights its not really gonna root. you need to seal it up from the light.

When should you start giving nutes to clone ?
