Hassle free clone tip

I've used clone powder before and my clones always looked close to death before they finally perked up. Usually they lost 2-4 leaves before they finally grew new growth.

I decided to stop buying powders and gels and and just stick my clones in a water bottle with just tap water. Since I've started using this method I haven't lost a clone or even a leave for that matter.

Try it on a clone of yours for fun sometime. Here's a few pics of one of mine at 7 days.

I'm scared plus I'm addicted to Clonex, so....

That's cool man. We can still be friends. lol

My first cloning experience I tried the rooting gel and put em in soil and after about a week they just shriveled up and died. I'll try the water technique next time , keeping it simple seems to be the way to go lol

I'm going to ween myself off of the bottle, honestly, its been on my to do list.
You've got to give me credit though for my baby steps. I began cloning in rockwool,
then broke that habit and went to rapid rooters, been there for years. Only recently did I
break that habit too and go directly to wet promix for a great experience. but the thought of
rooting a dozen labeled cuts in one cup of water(space) intrigues me much.

do you dome them for a day or two or no?

How much light are you giving your clone using the bottle trick?

No i haven't. I think the skinny neck of the water bottle creates that dome effect.. That's why i use the bottle.

I just have them in a shade spot on my computer desk. There sitting a foot away from me as i'm typing this.... To answer your question not much light at all. In a few days I'll transplant them in soil then i will acclimate them to the big light.

Thanks in advance man

Room temp is about 78.

It's up to you if you want to ph the water. It couldn't hurt. Where I live i just use the tap water on everything. I'm not too hi-tech if you can't tell.
