I've read first thing in the morning when they are well hydrated and not transpiring yet. I have taken them many different times of the day without any noticeable difference personally. It's fair to note that I've read not feeding them a couple days prior as much (N in particular) helps them root faster because abundance of N hinders root growth- however I have no personal proofs of this either. I think it's somewhat luck of the draw depending on how much hormones are in the tips of the cutting that travel down and move the rooting process along, but I've not found a way to know to predetermine this. I've had some root in less than 3 days and others take almost 2 weeks off the same plant all cut at the same time for what it's worth.

Yeah, my first time trying it took me almost 2.5 weeks to see roots. Don't know if it was the method I used but gonna try Subcools shoebox method and compare a side by side. I did get a 100 percent, well, 4 outtah 4 success. I'm doing lst in one and man, she loves it. I'll post some pics later, but I can just see the difference between lst and topping. Lst wins no doubt. Alright hawaiians, have a great day at work. I can't wait to get home to all my ladies, my wife, beautiful daughters, and of course, my moms. A houseful of wahines, 5 total, and me. Malama pono, alojahz

When I mainlined my Mozamibique and Mulanje, I just put the cuttings strait in to dirt and put them in a shady spot. 8 cuttings and all are perky and alive!

After a dark cycle, I switched over to subs method last year and never looked back. 100% success everytime
It actually allows you to take cuts every week and keep a perpetual really easy if thats your sort of thing, after a week in the shoebox I transplant to solo's then wait for the root to catch up then off to 1 gal where I will usaully pick a donor out of the group then clone her then throw her outside, stretch her clones, clone them ect..
IMG_0938.jpgEven though you don't see roots you can usaully tell if its starting to establish a root system because it'll perk up after 2-3 days. I took these cuts on 7/26, today they are due to go in solo's but i'm giving them another day in there.
IMG_0939.jpgThese were taken on 7/19, soon they will be transplanted into 1 gal after they develop more roots, I use solo's to conserve space. Otherwise I would put in straight one gal, also I like taking small cuttings because in my experience they always root faster, rather than large ones.
IMG_0940.jpgHere is the next donor plant taken on 7/5 that will most likely get hacked up tomorrow, after that she will begin getting acclimated to go outside after I take cuts and transplanted into a bigger container. All of this happens under 1 Sunblaze 4ft 4 bulb. I had 5 other plants the same size as the donor in their yesterday, snug fit. Cant complain~

:peace:
P.S. This doesn't mean you need T5's and MH for this too work, this is the only time I've had my shoebox under the T5's because of the extra room from the move out yesterday. Usaully I use a 26 watt CFL with a hood reflector around it, works like a charm. Good luck and ALOHA~~

About 12 days into flower. Should I lollipop these? The mother that these come from was covered in buds. Lots of popcorn bud, but it was a little fluffy. I know they are sativa dominate by the leaves. Do you guys lollipop your sativas and does make any difference in top bud?
