Bet. That's what I was doing, but they just seemed soggy. I'm gonna try it again.

I've killed more clones than i can count. Once I stole @shnkrmn's method things got easier. Except for GG#4. That's plant does not like being cloned at all!

Sooo, water level up high enough to touch the plugs?

Yes. And just keep topping up the tray.

 

[shnkrmn]

Replacing the water frequently can't hurt either.

my plugs are always saturated like @shnkrmn's. I have a aci probe in my dome that controls my heating mat. Keeps it at 79 degrees.

I like your dome. I've been using the same one since 2003. It has 4 layers of flex seal now

I add KLN and super weak nutrient mix

Ugh, sooo much work!!! Lol

But seriously, is RO water ok? Or should it have nutes in it?

That was one of my first lg collection acquisitions. Now I have 2!

I was so nervous drilling a hole in it. I thought for sure it's gonna crack.

Bday girl beat me to it. Whats kln?

I use tap water.

Dynagrow rooting formula.

I use tap water.

Mines through the softener. And my well water is super hard and like 350-400ppm

You really need to display that for us please!

Rooting concentrate. It's liquid tho not a gel.

Distilled it is! Although bottled spring water usually runs about 50ppm

I'll just use my ro then. I can always add some nutes if needed.

 

[shnkrmn]

A few drops of grow nutes can't hurt.

She takes a little longer in my aero cloner than my others but 21 days or less she always reliably rooted for me.

I spray my plugs twice a day. Some strains will damp off if you leave them sitting in water all the time. Yes heating mat, but cut it in the summer. Clonex, tap water, no nutes. I can consistently get them into solos in 14 days this way. Roots poke out in 6-9

Don't know if it's the best way, but it works very well for me. I've been doing a perpetual grow in various size gardens for 25 years now. I will say that the cloneability (yes, that's a word now) of chernobyl is very pheno dependant. I had to retake clones from 4 plants. One was hopeless. Keep in mind that I hardly lose a clone in each batch I take. Maybe 4 or 5 a year out of 100+

The ones that do root well, root very well. So if you just popped a few here and there, you got lucky. Or, I'm an idiot. That has been established as well.

This is Jeborah Quickbatch. He's the keeper of the clones


Always mist the dome, never the clones

For clarification. I don't have that dome. I meant to say that I have the same piece of crap I've been using since i started, but it is mostly flex seal now
