can clones be planted straight into soil??

You don't use any rooting hormones at all? Just water?
Yup ph’d water. The cubes seem to dry out in 2 days but then they stop drinking from the cube. Mist the dome a few times a day and they will root 10-14 days. I’ve never lost a clone without a hormone and I have with. I guarantee you the only thing that matters is the moisture

I actually prefer to plant clones straight into soil without a dome, and have been using organic honey instead of the Clonex lately. The Root Riots work great though too with the dome and tray, but then I would have to clean equipment and I'm getting pretty lazy. They also get a little stressed going from the dome to the final pots, but both methods work great. These were put straight into 15 gal pots. Pic taken on Tuesday, so 3 days ago at day 56 of flower.

That's what I've been using, Clonex into Root Riots and I have had a very high success rate. I'll try doing a couple into the cubes without the gel and see if there is any difference next time I'm cloning.

I made a humidity dome out of a Rubbermaid and it worked awesome I got 19/23 clones it’s all it when and how you mist, water, and allow air into the dome. If you do those three thing right your gonna have a good success rate

Thanks for the pictures i have just seen how to upgrade my own self made dome. I need to put some bottle caps or something under the tray too.

15 gallon pots?? In a tent I can’t do that.
In my 2x4 veg tent, I can fit 2 15gal, 2 3 gal and a few 1 gal pots, but it gets crowded. Then they get transferred to my flower closet that's approximately 3.5x8 ft. I prefer to have a max of 4 plants in there, but that's pushing it. 3 is about perfect. I wanna setup my 4x4 so I can have 4 15 gal vegging, but I'm already running out of space in my bedroom.

I have 11 plants in my 5x5 flower tent the biggest I have run is 5 gallon fabric but honestly I’m loving the 3 gallon plastic pots. Good for lst and my plants seem to grow denser buds in the smaller plastic not sure why

This was a clone taken and put into dirt and u def regular lighting with the same nutes I was feeding my adult plants. It grew fine took about two weeks for new growth to develop after I planted. The longer you grow the more you realize what you need and don’t absolutely need. I’ll flip a Clear rubber made tote over if I feel like it but half the time I don’t even do that.

They convinced us at some point that every step requires an accessory and that simply isn’t true. Look outside and realize that nobody did shit to 99.9 percent of the vegetation outside and it still overtook everything lol.

Cloning colars and shot glass sized solo cups and tap water. cover with big zip lock bag is my method. I haven't taken a lot of clones but I'm at 100% success so far. Just took a couple the other night so will see if I am still 100% soon
