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??? we’re kinda like little gods 🙈😆💯 happy growing ✌️✌️☮️
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 🌸
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.
