Its cool to see the size of cutting you took. These things are like like week 3 plants already (minus the roots). Im so tempted to make clones from the tops of my clones but I likely already have too many plants. I really enjoy cloning. Such a cool feeling tbh.
cloneing is so cool??? weโre kinda like little gods ๐๐๐ฏ happy growing โ๏ธโ๏ธโฎ๏ธ
I've always been told to heavy defoliate my cuttings it appears you have opted to not do so. What was the thinking for this choice? They look healthy ๐ธ
Appreciate you! It's an essential part of my process.
No need for heavy defoilation. just snip the bottom set of leaves, get a good angle on your cutting and scrape it so the fibers get exposed, and follow the method I mentioned on the first post.
I like the aloe tech, I'll have to keep that in mind once I run out of this clonex gel and recharge. I also sprinkle some great white to just dominate the root cube with microbes and rooting hormones, I got some pretty explosive rooting on the 6 clones i gave that treatment too. Next time I take cuttings I'll leave a few less trimmed and see how they performs compared to the others
great white is sone good stuff... I use it after 1st transplant. Also mix it with Roots Gold.
