Well I dont use nothing but starter cubes...not RW but kinda the same idea.... heat pad humidity dome and propagation tray. I soak the cubes in PH balanced water until they nice and wet get some steaming hot water and put in the bottom of the tray, take the cuting at 45 degree, scrape of the top layer of green, dip in Olivias cloning gel, stick in cube and stick cube in the insert and repeat that about 45 more times then spray and put the dome on. The hot water will keep everythng moist for 2 weeks so all i have to really do is add more hot water after like 7 days. I have also started to give a real light mist of full stength nutes (the stuff i spray my moms with daily) once every 7 days, i notice that helps with the nitrogen, they stay nice and green no yellowing! I know they say dont use nutes but thats really giving them nutes, i think they can take a lil light foiler feed since they been at full strength when they were on the mother. I like to wait until the roots pop thru the cube so that way i know we gots no problems. at about 12 days i put them into the tent with the mothers with the humidifier and start to pulling the dome back. This is about a 2 week process but they are ready for 12/12 at exactly 14 days after cutting.
nice man so you foiler feed after 7 days so only once with light nute mix so only one feeding in 14 days? i think im going to try this out.

Yeah I agree. Im pretty sure I crushed the roots. I waited tooo long to put the clones in the rockwool because the roots were way to long. Also I pushed them too hard into the rockwool. My mother is so big getting clones will not be a problem. Pics to come later today

Yeah man a LIGHT mist of full strenght nutes at 7 days, thats usually when i have to refill the bottom of the tray with hot water, i usually just pour over everything to get the cubes back wet and the excess just trickle to the bottom. day 11 or 12 is another hit but by then they got roots popping out the bottom. Very easy and not a lot of work required!

here's my girl after the first week of flower. Back to the cloning topic, my clones died so I went ahead last week and cut new clones. Not going to let the roots get so long this time so that I can gently put into the 6" RW cube and just let the roots grow in the cube from there.
