You said rooting gel so I thought you ment the rooting hormone gel.
Then I thought you put the cutting in the hormone gel.

will be watchin to see how this stuff works.

i got ya you thought i pulled some newbie **** lol and u were just trying to help.yup its gel straight jelly gel if it works its so much cleaner and easier will see.PS

I tried that stuff a few months ago and never got any roots. It kept the cutting nice and healthy, but just no roots, even after 4.5 weeks. When I took those cuttings out and put them in rockwool, roots popped a week later.

Another person I know tried the gel and got roots in 1 week.

So, this will be interesting to watch.

yeah that gellroot is garbage... i tried it b4 too... it says it is for softwood cuttings tho... so maybe it has some kinda weird chems in it... u'll find the gell will dry out b4 nething happens with the roots... i think it would be better from a seed or something like that......

actually its for hard wood its says read inside for directions on softwood cuttings.i think it should be fine i mean plain water works it has alot to do with the hummidity also,will will soon see.PS

I am interested to see this too. My mind does tell me that a gel will not allow the roots to breath and how do you plan on getting water to the roots if they are stuck in a gel?

Also removing the plant to transplant will be very hard with the fragile roots.

I will be watching this one though

Good luck

i can tell u this when i take my clones from the jiffy pellets and put them in soil they seem to do fine(as long as u got a nice root cluster) of course there fragile IMO once they root its hard to kill them,and the gel they slip in and out but thats what this is about!!!!i was succesfull in water and i was successful with jiffy better odds with the jifffy,now i try this.PS

..?? Why would you take them out of the jiffy pellets??

..?? Why would you take them out of the jiffy pellets??

dont ask why?i just do i never liked jiffy pellets but they sure work for rooting,when they root i pull them up and put them in soil.i know most probably put the whole pellet in the dirt but not me,i just trust the jiffy pellets to root.PS

i will subscribe to this as well, because I like checking out new ideas... could. However, this is like the method I used. I have used moisture control crystals that will absorb water when they're submerged, and expand. They use these in moisture control soils, etc. Anyway, you can root right in those as well... very cool. this is a similar product I assume.

 

[PurpleSkunk]

thanks MD,i was out looking for rooting gel at local shops before i hit the hydro store,thats when i ran across this stuff,i was succesful with the local evryday brand rootone (powder hormone)so i thought id give this a shot!!!!when i hit the hydro store they had all the gels but it was a little pricy to me.i beleive they said cloneX was the best.i will stck with the powder unless this gel does something better.PS

 

[PurpleSkunk]

still nuthin but they look like they did the day i cut them.i will keep u updated.PS

 

[Puffin Afatty]

I have used the powder to great success...I just cut em, trimmed under water, dipped in powder, shook off excess, put into pre soaked rockwool...all of em rooted just fine in 10-15 days...I never saw a need to try the gel yet...

yes i feel ya i also have had the same goodluck with the powder,its cheaper just thought id try this seemed easier and much cleaner.these other fellas say they used it to no success and now im thinking the same thing i will give them a little extra time see what happens. PS

 

[octobong007]

Iused gel the last time out... no roots no roots.. then one day I was changing the water out.. the gel actually rotted the stem.. I made new cuts above all the soft slime and they rooted in 2 days...

 

[Hick]

I gotta ask.
Is that how the directions say it is to be used??
I ask, because I have only saw gel that is to be used in the same manner as rootone, or any other rooting agent.
