Clone's keep failing.

Good idea to make the final slice under water, to protect against an air embolism developing in the stems. General practice when taking cuttings..


Here is the most elite method, that works on any plant or tree:



Add clonex solution and air stones to the air layer bottles for the ultimate rooting technique.

That looks like to much of a mess about for me to try.

Ime the size of the clone hasn't ever been a factor however I do prefer a large clone to save on vegging time.

I had to cut these at this size due to unforseen circumstances and they rooted 3/4 days before the regular sized clones.

Embolism must be like rocking horses shit, I'd cut 1000s of clones before I even reading about them, I've left trimmings in the bin for day's then pulled them out and successfully cloned them, I've left cuts in the fridge for weeks and successfully rooted them.

That's why I mentioned making the final 45 degree cut right before inserting the clone. Don't make the cut and let the clone sit there long before inserting.

Iv takin cuts. Talked. Hit the blunt. Showed my friends where to make the cut.
iv left cuts out and wilted. Put in glass of water. Perked back up. Rooted. Idk about all that air jumbo. I read a lot on it. I watched alot on it. But it’s never happened to me. I take my time. I don’t even use a glass of water half the time. I cut. Dip. And stick in rockwool. Done As long as you have humidity those first few days. I think you’ll be fine. My method has to be the weakest and jankiest. And works

Try not using the dome, try giving them air and making sure they don't dry out. Odds are to much humidity for to long

One thing that helps is making sure you take cuts from branches that have white pith in the middle when you cut them.

Search deep into your past memories, all the clones that wilted up and died on you here and there over the years. It's happened to all of us, come on don't deny it.

You know its true.... It was air embolisms, hahaha.

Em, bull, isim.
I'll be looking for a prize if I get one

Regular air layering method is much more simple and fool proof. Works on the toughest to root strains, or under any conditions, even in cold sheds in the winter.

1. Carefully scrape or slice and peel away the skin all the way around a branch you want to take, leaving the inner layers intact, and brush on some rooting hormone if you want.

2. Then wrap it with a root riot plug\rockwool cube that is cut like a hot dog (or use whatever medium you want), but the plugs work great. Then cover with plastic wrap or foil, and inject with your solution, making sure to keep it saturated every day.

3. Cut away from the mother plant in a few weeks when its well rooted, or even let it dry out and heal itself if you change your mind and don't want the clone.

It doesn't legally count as an extra plant either because its not separated yet, meaning you could have a dozen clones ready to go and still be under your plant limit.

There's little gadgets available for air layering they make the process more convenient.

I refuse to pay shipping on it have you tried the dry powder.

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!

R.I.P. to the air layer that was on life support with handy little plastic capsules, making it so easy the grower can forget about it... Cause of death, air embullism.

Keep it simple..... prop tray and dome, rapid rooters, cloning gel. Keep the rooters moist, not saturated. Keep a lil water in bottom of prop tray to add humidity. The rest will take care of itself.

They should've called it organic dehydrated dihydrogen monoxide.

That's exactly what I've been doing but I think the shed is to cold for them. Or it's off me misting the plants and not the dome . Going to try indoors see if that helps.

Yea, they like it to be warm. I use a heart mat under mine. It helps bring the humidity up when I put a lil water in the bottom of the tray.

That study is fucking hilarious. Guess I better share it, to help stop some of the dangers of dhmo.
