Friend is giving me clones, what items do I need?

I have everything I need to grow, and more. I’ve never done clones before, my buddy said I need..

1. Tray
2. Rockwool or 1.5 rapid rooters

I have aloe flakes, coconut powder and more (from buildasoil.) What would you guys suggest I get? Don’t some people just use like aloe gel and stick it in dirt?

Are they fresh cuttings or rooted clones?

If unrooted, this thread might be of help. Not all methods work for all growers.

I'm assuming you're getting fresh cuttings. A warming pad would be a good investment, the cutting will root faster at higher temps.

Best method cloning

I prefer the bubbleponics/ dwc cloning method. Easiest possible way to go. Just drop em in and they root on their own. Cider you under $30 to build too.

I just asked him and will let you know. If they’re fresh, would they root better in root riots opposed to organic soil?

If they're freshly cut, I'd root them in a rooting plug, placed inside a humidity chamber, placed on top of a heating mat. Once fully rooted (~10 days), transfer to soil.

Either way. Root Riots in a dome with a heat mat set to like 75 will work faster and might give you better odds.

I prefer just to pop them in soil. Less to clean up. If one doesn't live, I just put another cutting in the pot. I've also started using raw organic honey instead of Clonex too. But for the Root Riots I would rather use Clonex probably.

Even water will work to clone them.
