Place the dome back on the tray when done. Remove the clear plastic dome from the cloning tray and spray the clones and inside of the dome with water. That’s it for now! You’ve made it through the first day, which means you’ve made it through the toughest part of cloning! Keep the room temperature slightly warm, above 20 Degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit). Make sure the vents of the dome are closed for the first 2 days. If using a horizontal 400w or 600w Metal Halide light keep the light about 24 inches away from the top of the dome.If using fluorescent lights or CFLs you can keep the light 1 or 2 inches over the top of the dome.Try to give the clones as much light as possible. Leave the light on 18 hrs per day for cloning. Now place the dome on the cloning tray with the new clones inside. Fresh cuttings need high humidity to encourage root growth. When spraying the clones with water make sure you spray the inside of the dome and the base of the cloning tray. The next step is to spray the clones with water before moving the clones under the light. Once all the clones are inserted in the pellets I add a teaspoon of water to the base of each stem to activate the rooting gel and powder. Just be sure you have a snug fit between the stem and the cloning cube. Note if you’re using Rockwool: Rockwool cubes usually have a small hole for the clone to be inserted. We don’t want the stem loose or falling out of the peat. Gently press the peat in the Jiffy 7 around the base of the stem to ensure a snug fit and to ensure contact of the peat with the stem. ![]() ![]() Any brand rooting powder and gel will work for cloning.Īfter the clone has been double-dipped, you will insert the cutting into the Jiffy 7 peat pellet. This way each clone will always root no matter what. I do this because some strains root better in gel, while others root better with rooting powder. This method is what I call “Double Dipping the Clones”. Once you have all the branches cut and soaked we are ready to dip the tip of each of the cuttings (soon to be clones) into the rooting gel.ĭipping the clone in gel first will protect the stem from getting clogged.Īfter the clone is dipped in rooting gel we will dip the tip into the rooting powder. This way the fan leaves will still remain and speed up the growth of the new cannabis clone. If your cutting has large fan leaves you should cut the blades of the leaves shorter to fit in the cloning tray. This prevents air bubbles from getting trapped in the stem. The stem of the cut branch will absorb some water while soaking. Place the new cutting in the small bucket of cold water you just prepared. Using a new razor blade, cut the branch of the mother plant at a 45-degree angle. This photo shows the difference between a small cannabis clone vs a big clone. You will get faster growing and more vibrant plants by choosing big clones! A small clone may take a week or two before multiple branches appear. When cutting clones from a mother plant it is better to cut a large section of a branch with multiple branches and bud sites.īigger branches will support bigger buds. Let’s fill the other bucket with cold water now. Once the cloning tray is filled with expanded warm wet Jiffy pellets, we are ready to begin cutting our cannabis clones. Gently squeeze excess water from each pellet before placing in cloning tray. Once the compressed Jiffy 7 peat pellets have expanded in warm water, we remove them one at a time. Next, we soak the Jiffy 7 compressed peat pellets in the warm water, which makes the pellets expand in size, as pictured below. Put the other bucket aside for now, as we will use it in a moment. To begin we will fill one of the small buckets with warm water. Grow Lights: Fluorescent Lights or Metal Halide lights (250w, 400w or 600w) seem to work best for cloning, however any quality grow light can be used.Note: Rockwool Cubes and Rapid Rooters can be substituted “Jiffy 7” Compressed Peat Pellets (Recommended).2 small plastic buckets (or large mixing bowls – to be filled with water).Note: Any brand rooting powder and gel will work for cloning Cloning Tray (with ridges at the bottom, no holes) & 7” Vented Dome.Supplies Needed – Get Your Cloning Supplies! ![]() The following is my best advice to get your clones rooted fast, in just 7-10 days. I’ve been growing marijuana on a large scale since 1990 and have made thousands of clones over the years. Today you’ll learn how to clone your marijuana plants successfully every time!
