Cloning Marijuana
Here is a step by step method for cloning, its is simple, very consistent (about 95%) and best
of all under 20$!!!!! Actually about $12.00 you need a bag of perlite, one of vermiculite, Rootone, and a clear storage box
18L x 10W x 6T,and some "pony pac" containers (these are cheap container for nursery plants ,,you can get them free if you
ask what day they throw out the dead plants, and a little bloom formula fertilizer most any brand is OK the count should be
about 5-12-8 or something like that with high potassium.
Step 1 - Select a cutting,
you want a healthy piece not some scraggly piece of crap, snip it off with a pair of very sharp scissors, at this time mix
the perlight and vermiculite at 50/50 mix and add watertill is soft and wet, pack the containers full and firmly pack the
medium in.See this picture
Step 2 - Remove the leaves and small side branches leaving a nice
cluster on the top of the cut. See this picture
Step 3 - Place
the cut in a glass of water and 1/10the strength bloom fertilizer. See this Picture
Step 4 - Put the stripped
cut end into the rooting powder it should cling on real well because of the water fert mix make sure its VERY well coated.

Step 5 - take a pen and
make a hole in the pre prepared mix and containers make it big so it wont scrape the rooting hormone off. See this Picture
Step 6 - place the cutting into the hole you made
in step 5 and pack the medium tightly around it. See this Picture
Step 7 - Using the bloom formula spray the cuts
getting them pretty wet, now for the storage box, tap holes on each side and two on top I like them to be about 1/2 across,turn
the box upside down place you containers with the cuts on the lid and close it up, you will need to open it every other day
for a week or so ,if its really hot or dry you can spray them also,after a week take the lid off for a few hours at a time
then just leave it off, don't pull on the cuts or move them in any way this only slows progress, you will have rooted cuts
in two weeks or so they can go into soil or hydro from there. See this picture
Here they are I removed the lid two days ago, today they were wilting a little (that's good) so I gave them a tiny bit of the
1/10th bloom mix, if you look carefully you can tell which are rooting already, they are the ones with the yellow leaves.
I haven't looked but they should all have bumps and starting roots by the way they look on top, I made the mistake of putting
them a little close to the fan so two of them next to a hole got a little crisp but they look like the will pull through....
Here are the same clones being pulled from their container I usually let the go 14 days but I need the cloner for the seedlings, the root development
is very good but in a few more days its a huge clump! Bigger roots leads to bigger yields ,this is why I wanted you to coat
the stem so far up and with so much hormone...Be very carefull when you pull the clone out it should be packed in there very
snug , squeeze the sides of the pot and gently pull the stem as it releases from the pot. The clones are going in soil I make
a big hole so as not to break the delicate roots. After they are in pack the soil around them. If going to hydro with Rockwool
put in hole in top of cube and cover with flock if using gro rocks just carefully put them on a single layer of rocks hold
the and add rocks till the basket is full
