This is not a tutorial, merely an observation.
I get to see alot of newcomers trying there skill at cloning, I remember the 1st time I attempted it too. I got real fancy, I read everything I could find, than decided on which technique fit my style, and went with it.
I failed at it miserably too.
I've tried repeatedly and of course my success rate went up.
Today, I am getting 10 out of 10 being a success.
Whats changed, why am I getting great results now?
Well first of all, I shit-canned all of the fancy techniques and went with a
Keep-
It-
Simple-
Stupid technique.
In my opinion, there is ONE factor that makes cloning super easy, but I'm not gonna tell ya, that's my secret.
I'm just playing with ya, of course I am going to share it with you.
First off, my technique is super simple. (I like simple)
I take my cutting, I cut it at an angle dip it into my cloning powder, I use Schultz Take Root.
I also cut all the leaves off, except for those at the very tip, however the leaves at the tip. I cut there tips off, doing this forces the clone to concentrate on making new roots.
I, than place it right into my soil mix.
The reasoning behind my success is simple, it is all in the age of the donor.
It is much, much easier to get a clone taken from an 8 or 12 week old donor to take root, than from a donor who is only 3 or 4 weeks old.
Hence the need to take a mother, or two, or 6 or whatever your needs demand.
Peace
