This is the crap I bought. It was worse than using just water. At least with water I did get them to root it took like 3 weeks. With this crap they were molding. Or just dting within 3-4 days. It say roots in as soon as 6 days. I cant even get them to last 3 days
I should really teach all of you my proven cloning methods... simple and I get 99% rootings.
Rapid Rooter Plugs
New razor blade, not scissors
Dip n Grow
Hydrogen Peroxide
Distilled Water
Plant starter plus liquid 3-0-0
Rotisserie chicken container
Germinating heat pad
2 cuts on new clone... once to remove from donor, always a few inches below a node region.... place in distilled water with few drops of hydrogen peroxide to prevent pathogens from infecting exposed areas..
2nd cut, 45* angle right thru the branching area node region, rotate 180* and shave 1" of the outside layer of skin off, roots will explode off both sides this way..
Immediately after making the cut, back into the water for a few seconds, into the Dip n Grow solution and Bam, into the RR plug. Now, remove a small chunk of the plug off the bottoms edge, place inside hole..
this prevents the clone from spinning and constantly breaking loose the feeder roots beginning to take.
Note: When placing cutting into RR plug, be sure to press it thru far enough. placing your finger on the bottom, press it thru until it touches your finger..
Why a razor blade and not scissors.
scissors tend to pinch the area you just cut closed unless kept very sharp, better to avoid. using a clean razor blade makes for nice clean cuts and open stems... much safer.
Rotisserie chicken container, hey, you get to eat for a few days and get a humidity dome out of it. Only works on smaller cuttings, but soft root cuts like that root faster. heating pad is to keep the root zone, or bottom of plugs, between 78-82f, perfect for creating roots.
Biggest NOTE: Spritz them once, just once. make sure the RR plugs are not soaked but just moist. if to wet, squeeze lightly in a paper towel. if moisture is needed, lift the lid and spritz the inside lightly... I killed many a cuts over spritzing.... long as it's humid in the dome, your good...but not wet. Kills them fast.
for light, I always used the back of my toilet and bathroom window light... when it got dark, kitchen stove light... I kept it simple. most important, the heat pad.. my success increased double fold.
