I'm sending this out again since I continue to have problems. Maybe I can be more clear this time.
I have a DWC bubbler and one plant doing GREAT. I've tried to get cuttings from this plant to root in rockwool, but out of 12 tries, I have got 12 failures. I just need ONE to keep going as my main plant (former mother) is now in week #4 of flower--I just coulnd't wait any longer (it was getting too big).
Here's what I've been doing. Please tell me where I've gone wrong.
I've been taking low grown, tender cuttings and placing them in a cup of PH corrected water for a couple minutes, then rooting powder and placing them in the rockwool. The fit isn't great, so I use twist-ties around the wool to hold it all together.
Humidity dome, low light cabinet, heating pad, spraying the leaves once a day for 5 days, water LIGHLY each day.
After they shrivel up and die (they all do), I open them up to see whats-what and there are no roots at all. Nothing.
I do have a cloner but don't really know how to use it. Do I put them in right away or wait until roots show up? Water level? Nutes? Optimal temperature?
Any advice you can give would be great.
