The 3" pot has no drainage and it's huge compared to a root cube, so it never even occurred to me to try and root the cutting in it. I'm talking about if you take a rooted cutting out of a clone tray and insert it in there. Unless it's a thick, woody cutting you run this risk.
Yeah that's the problem, the 3" pot is supposed to be filled with the medium (coco or soil). I still root in a clone tray and then basically transplant the rapid rooter or rockwool plug into coco, there is a hole at the bottom you can punch out with a screw driver but I usually just drill several small holes.
Yeah when I was thinking of solutions this morning, it did occur to me that I'm an idiot for not at least filling the pot with moist perlite. That won't necessarily keep the stem from snapping, though. Maybe I'll harden them off in the little pot first as you've suggested. I also have other things to ship in, now.
They have other things to ship in too like clone cruisers for clones rooted into cubes, not sure if you've seen them before..
Ya bro wtf, haha
I haven't heard the name clone cruisers yet, but I bought some on amazon recently. They hold 3, 6, 12 plants with cubes, etc....
Walmart. Fishing Isle. Utility trays.
Great info thank you! I did receive some clones in a fishing utility tray once.Walmart. Fishing Isle. Utility trays.
If you are doing 1.5 inch cubes get the Flambeau 4007 trays. Should fit up to 1.5 inches snug. Can cut the little inserts out easy for them to hold the stem and cube in place. Six pack is only about $22. That is under $4 a shipper. They have four slots and can hold up to 8 clones depending on how you pack them. You can place clones on both sides of slots. Go on ebay and buy yourself some small battery leds. They run like $10 for 25. Also they ship and stock is usually solid when it comes to shipping these.

If you are doing bigger clones/bigger cubes (2 inch rockwool) get the Ozark 3700. Bigger slots and bigger case. Lower cost too. They are about $3 a case. They don't ship these but if you can find them in stock at stores, grab them up.

I did a write up on clone shippers once somewhere else. Will try to find the link.
Those lights are a little more pricey. About $1 a piece. I kept finding they would switch off in shipping. I think they were just getting pushed that easy through the packaging. So went with the bulb ones and just duct tape it on.
Thanks, I'll jam a piece of a tooth pick or something in the switch so they stay on.
We use the flat rate padded envelopes to ship in. The trays are solid plastic unlike the regular shippers people buy which are that flimsy green plastic. It keeps the clones protected and the smaller tray fits in the envelopes so easy for pricing shipping. The downside is the button I think was able to get pressed through the padded packaging since it is on the outside of the tray. In a box they should have no issue.
When are you stocking more rooted cuts? I want to make a purchase of 5+ from you but your list is not always updated to reflect current rooted stock, so I am consistently shot down in my requests.
I've used Tomisteins 501 3 times and had great results. Sometimes they take a day to get back to you but hey, they r normal people with lives. I've had good luck with him is all I'm saying....
Tomisteins 501s is totally on the up and up, so while u r sleeping on his gear someone like me is snatching that legit shit rite up.
Pretty sure he is grabbing cuts straight from the dispensary. Smart plan. Not much overhead other than cutting cost and housing them under a small t5. Although that $500 for the PCG Runtz cut is a little steep.
Sleeping on "his" gear? He's selling clones from other people. I got my money back. I was good with that. You go ahead and do you pal.
