instead on the traditional cut the clone stick it in rockwool.. can i take my cutting, dip it in rooting hormone then sit the part of the stem i want to root in a cup of water? iv been reading up and it roots pretty fast.. also can i use a 10cfl for lighting light? please guys if u can give me step by step to this technique, as i really want to get it right the first time

Yeah, it really is that easy, but it's not fast, it takes 1-3 weeks for roots to grow that way.
Change the water every few days to keep water clean.

and you could use the rooting hormone and then just stick it into some soil... they work, just don't over complicate things. good luck

yea cup of water can even take longer then 3 weeks actually ive had it take like 2 months with that method before, it works but its the slowest and least reliable way

yea i have had them root as quick as beansly said but the majority i did took way to long 5 plus weeks and i just dont have time for that although if i stuck a air stone in they went faster but just to put in water and sit id prob ad some dip n grow in my water

Plook up raft rooter. Don't buy it, make it. I've tried every way to clone this is by far the easiest. 99% every time.I bought a sleeve of replacement plugs for rapid rooter for my float. Works great. I also use an aquarium heater heater to keep water at 78 degrees. Roots in 7 to 10 days every time
