My cloning method is unconventional, so far it has worked for me. It is a variation on the clone in cup of water method.
https://www.growweedeasy.com/how-to-...-of-water-easy
For each clone, 2 solo cups, one clear with holes in the bottom, and one red on the outside. I put them together, add 3/4 full of coco/perlite, tamp down, add week 3 nute solution with additional calmag and the juice from a hunk of aloe leaf, flood the coco for 5 minutes, remove inner cup and drain the water, punch a hole in the coco, prep the clone with a fresh cut, scrape on the stem, dip in clonex, then plant in hole, pack coco, add nute solution to bottom cup enough to flood the inner cup (think miniature flood n drain), then put them under the light, plastic baggie cut into a sheet on top in the beginning. When roots are visible through the inner cup, transplant into final pot with out delay. By flooding the cutting in the coco it is like being submerged in water. As they get older, i will remove the outer cup and drain, let sit, then refill. Gradually increasing the drain time. They usually show roots within 12-16 days. When I grow the manifold using BU2B 's PPP method , I will remove anything that I will not need in the final plant as soon as possible. My shoots are never 7 inches long, more like 2-5. What you see in the pix I did today. I have found that if they survive the next 2-3 days with out wilting to death, they will be ready to transplant in a few weeks.
The johnson method would be measuring the with of the stem...

Is it Johnson or Johnston?

I love it very well done. I can't wait to start cloning and doing a tent again. But for now it's outdoor only this summer. I dig how those last pics look great work CK

Wish others paid as close attention to the plant as you and i have learned, it's not that hard.
oh man, you are going to have a full house! I am watching your cloning closely, hoping to learn something. at the moment it's a toss up between you and oldjarhead100 for the cloning king title. I swear I'm gonna learn this even if I have to break a brain cell to do so. VERY nice job!

SO- They are a weed, with a little care they go all grow happy.
BU2B- Ty, Yes, full is what I am trying to achieve, go big or go home, see post 39 for my take on cloning. It is easy, just toss them in the coco and add water, nutes, and light. Cloning king, I've never been king of anything, except in my own mind...

Week 1 bloom, day 6
Transitioning to bloom, there are pre-flowers emerging and the stretch is just starting.
Seed clones are vegging along, the little clones, although they look like they are having issues, most are showing new growth, roots expected any time now. Once the new growth picks up the old leaves get trimmed. Gave them a shot of aloe in their water.

Week 2 bloom, day 2
Been away for 2 days, I see the stretch is on, I'm to tired to do anything except water them now. I will look closer tomorrow as to how they are progressing. They have the dank going as well.
Everyone here is doing ok after my absence also. Time to let the little clones dry out a bit, most are surviving.
