hi am steve. i have read a few threads on cuttings and talked to many a grower about cuttings. and there is some brilliant advice and i dont know everything. when i was told to try this i looked confused and said it wouldnt work, well i was wrong and was outstanded. well enough dribble do all the normal stuff you do for your cutting{hormone media ect} BUT TAKE THE CUTTING IN THE LATTER STAGE OF FLOWERING, cut more than you need off by about 1cm. place a saucer upside down pour on rooting hormone and make you final cut whilst the stalk submerged in the hormone. place in media keep the cutting in 12/12 light untill roots are showing then veg as you wish. so whats the difference? well if you have ever seen a plant regrown you may understand. the amount of branches you get is unreal the plant fills out so much. IF YOU TRY THIS YOU SHOULD ALL BEAT YOUR PERSONAL RECORDS i will ad pics later
ok the saucer turn it upside down {your after a little bowl so you use less hormone} you want your stalk fully submerged in hormone when you make your final cut as this helps your cutting heal and grow roots better. i use ionic clonex but i prefere some sea kelp but it needs to be fresh as it is still alive and goes mouldy.
Yea 24 hour low lvl light for sure and btw isn't taking cuttings from a plant that is in the flowering stage just asking for mutation problems? Don't you want your clones to be the same as the mother? I guess I am a little slow cause I just don't get the whole saucer thing .. sorry. Have always just dipped the cutting in the hormone and that's it. Peace
