clone going to make it? questions...

I don't know about indoors and potting soil. I'm sure you need some sort of nutes to supplement the indoor conditions. This is my first time growing indoors. I'm doing hydro. Back in the gap we grew plants outside in pots/soil they did fine. Before i got nutes i had some in some pots/soil under the lights as a test. They didn't even compare to with nutes. It makes the plants just grow! I have been dumping my res twice now every 2 weeks on the plants outside my porch. My rosemary just started to shoot runners off the tops. My spearmint is loving it. Leaves are nice and swollen.

Cost a little but do the nutes. Faster growth and i'm sure better buds!

This is the way Ive always cloned and it works perfect for me....

1. Take cuttings

2. Cut on a 45 degree angle with a new sharp square razor

3. Scrape skin off stem (only the part that will be dipped in the rooting gel...about 3/4")

4. Dip cutting in rooting gel

5. Place cutting in grow plug (synthetic soil type sponge). Stick your finger in the hole of the plug to open it so that when you stick the cutting in it doesnt wipe off the rooting gel.

6. Place cuttings in plastic dome with lid under flourescent (cool white light).
I place the light directly above the dome. Mist leaves daily with water and moisten the grow plugs as needed. Be sure to lift the lid of the dome daily to let some air in.
Even if the plants look a little yellow just leave them alone. As soon as they start rooting theyll bounce back.
After 10-14 days youll start seeing white fuzzy roots.
Personally ive never used nutes on clones and ive had about 98% success cloning.
Good luck

UPDATE: the clone is doing great and showing new growth every day. its under a 70w MH and will be transfered to a 400w MH in due time.
thanks for all the help everyone!
