Perlite for clones

  1. Howdy all.....Many of you know that I am just an old "seed" farmer, basically I always germinated seed and grew from that. I never got too much into the "clone" thing, but as times change and excellent clone-only strains came about, I've been trying to keep up. So, I recently saw a video where the horticulturist uses perlite to grow his clones, but not in the way you would think. He took his cuttings, dipped them, and put them in rapid rooter plugs. He then put the plugs on top of a 1/2" layer of moistened perlite in a humidity dome and closed the lid. He claims to have near 100% success, so I tried it. I'll be god-damned if I didn't get rooted clones in about 10 days!! I'm sure this is old news to some of you, but I had to shout out to my friends in case you haven't tried it. Just goes to prove that simpler is better......:smoke:
