Any of you use this product successfully? Its $5 at Walmart. Cheaper than any other cloning gel I have come across. THe online reviews have several people stating it didnt help their clones, but they werent cloning cannabis. So in the case of most marijuana, is this a viable product?

You dont really need gel/powder for cuttings you know.if they are taken propely and put into riot cubes or airy medium,kept moist they root.i can get the same results without gel.ive tried and tested a few gels/powders and cant reccomend any.just spit on the cuts stalk.lol..ive seen a friend literally chop a stalk off and put it in soil no humidity dome,a week later it had rooted.

I have always used and had great success with Clonex gel. I always wind up taking more then I need out of the container (I pour it into a 1gallon jug cap) and it still lasts me forever I just leave it in the fridge in-between uses. *cheers*

I agree clonex is probalby the best on sale ive used.i would stay away from powders there not reliable.

Cheap? Go to hydro shop and ask for free samples.
Go to vendors social media and ask for samples.Mad farmer guy is very nice.
Go to vendor webs and ask for samples... Humboldt secrets people are easy to talk to.
I like my RootIt gel from who... Mad Farmer.. cost -0-

I use clonex too, I am probably over paying in some manner but it makes me feel better.

I use their whole line.

Clonex works and is cheap .You can get the single use "dip packs" for like $1-2 at the hydro store which are good for approx 25 cuttings.
You can also use aloe if you have some around the house.

I read a article online. a commercial swiss company clones with willow branches, boiled and the left over water contains the hormones weed needs to root!

Or honey. I have organic honey I'm willing to try.

No such thing as organic honey. You have raw honey and that will work.

So will willow bark. Take new growth from a willow tree. Yellow growth. Cut up and add to warm water and let sit over night. It makes a great cloning solution.

I found it better not to boil. Boiling degrades the hormone.

Spit , some growers have spit on cuttings and they would root. Saliva PH's around 6.3 and may be an alternative.

Aspirin ... Same as willow Bark. Helps with stress and is used to germinate and maintenece foliar. ( but with light use )

I use household honey for years better than clonex etc,

as it antiseptic too

good luck

I've always just used the cheapest I can find, as others have mentioned, you don't really need it, just a bit of insurance.

I just got some of that stuff too

I dont have any willow trees near by to take bark from though.

I use Non organic honey. The stuff were the bees are doping up on hard chemicals before puking it out.
(PS 30 mins and 4 answers later) I didnt think anybody reads these comments. Im right.

Aloe Vera!

I've used clonex with great results, I've also used nothing with great results. Nothing is the cheapest really lol. Willow would also be the next cheapest, tons of it for free everywhere.. Well almost

Ez cloner I don't even use gel. And I get roots in 4-5 days. But in rapid rooters, I double dip. Take cutting, directly into ro water, 10 mins later, cut a slit an inch up the middle of the bottom, then scrape a little skin off the stem and cut 4-6 slits. Then dip in Clonex AND COAT in Bontone-1powder from Home Depot. Roots in 7-10 days.
