Thank you for your thorough response! I googled the water rooting method and it seemed way too complicated with all the stuff you have to add. I have one successful clone right now which is a couple weeks into flowering. This one I didn't use any rooting gel and all I did was cut it and place it in Miracle Gro potting mix. I think MG might be better than the FFOF I use now for rooting clones because I've had no success with FFOF. I'm wondering if I would be better off abandoning this clone in the Jiffy pot and taking a new cutting with the diagonal cut. It would take longer since the mother is in flowering now. I don't know if it will survive until Monday when the rock wool gets here.There are many techniques for successful cloning. The hardest part is finding what works for you, and most people get to their own method through trial and error.
I put mine in cups of water in a tiny tent under a blurple with a crate over the plants (to cut down on light without sending the cuttings into flower). I use little cutout cardboard flats to hold the cuttings so they don't curl in the cups. The temp swings between 65dF and 75dF, based on the lighting schedule, and I keep the humidity around 90% RH.
Two weeks later, I put them in soil.
This method works for me. Perhaps you can take some part of it, perhaps not. Cloning takes practice.
Again, it's common for completely different techniques to work well. I hope you find yours. Cloning is awesome.
I only spray the plant not the Jiffy pot itself. I did not wipe the lid before spraying. I'm going to try rock wool cubes when they get here.
Wow that is a very healthy looking clone.
that was from a plant I topped hard, so it was pretty healthy when I took it. but all the ones I took from lowers rooted this way too. not quite ready to put my full faith in this method prob take 1 or 2 clones the old way to be safe next time but prob do 25% rooters 75% dirt next round and if I can keep my numbers up eventually use the dirt only method exclusively.
