So I found one of my plant tips broken off so I got some rooting powder and trying my hand in making clones out of it. I have the main top looking good but the the smaller one not so much. Any tips anyone?

Get some fresh aloe vera, squeeze a piece of the leaf to extract the clear stringy juice from inside. Mix the juice in the feed water. It contains hormones that will stimulate root growth.Don't worry, be happy, grow sticky buds. -
You want a perfectly fresh cut to root from. If the break was exposed to the air for some time prior to dipping in the rooting gel or nute mix immediately prior to planting you may need to make a nice fresh cut.
I cut on a 45⁰ angle and I also take strip's off the side of the stem. I do the cut directly below a node and cut those back flush with the stem. This pretty much maximises the surface area for new root growth resulting in a heap of roots. I dip immediately after cutting. The more time that the cuts are exposed to air the less roots.Flower Room: 11' x 7' x 7.5'H, 480w AC, 13gal/day dehumidifier, 1.5gal ultrasonic humidifier, 60gal (27gal usable) nute tank, 16" pedestal fan & 18" wall fan.

I also keep a jar of cold water to drop clones in initially.
I then pluck them out of the water. And ya. What he said.
dropping them quickly in cold water reduces the chance of an embolismComment
