Quote: Divide said: How long would you say it takes on average for your roots to finish growing before you transplant them with this method?
Hey thanks for stopping by.....Great question!
On average, I can have visible roots protruding through the RW cube in about 5-7 days.A few spikes showing.
To really get a jump start on the growing process and eliminate the waiting game for the roots to hit the rez., I do the following:
1.Once roots are visible outside the cube, mix the same 3 parts perlite to 1 part vermiculite.
2.Fill the tray the clones are in or sometimes it is easier to fill another tray and move the clones at the end.
3. If you do the second tray method, fill the tray evenly with the mix.
4. Just like planting flowers outside, move some mix out of the way, big enough for the cube to sit in.
5. Pull mix back over and around the cube**This helps keep moisture in the cube but not too much water.
6. Do this with all the clones you have, then heavily spray the whole tray of mix with a spray bottle.***You do not want to pour water in the tray, it creates a pool of water to become stagnant in time and cause problems. The point is to moisten the mix, the cubes, and spray the dome really good.
7.Cover with dome, and in the winter months if it gets cold place on a heat mat ONLY IF YOU HAVE A THERMOSTAT CONNECTED TO IT, and set between 65-70 degrees Fahrenheit. if you notice any problems or feel it is too hot, drop the thermostat to the lowest setting....where mine currently is. In the summer months when it's warm, you do not need a heat mat. ****The mix in the tray will hold heat and create inside temps of the dome to reach deathly numbers to the fragile roots inside the mix.
I keep the clones in this setup for about a week after they get buried in the mix. The only downfall is, you may have to water them a few times a day at first until you reach the right moisture in the mix.
This is a great way to jump start clones, but should be done with caution, it is very touchy and could either get too wet or too dry really fast. This could lead to a whole tray of dead clones.
I have had this experience.....yes lost two whole trays of clones, 25 clones in each tray!!! If you want to attempt this method of cloning in a hempy tray, please feel free to contact me here for any questions or concerns you have, and i will try my best to help you.

Hey thanks man! I cant give you a rating, cuz i don't have 50 post yet, but i wont forget ya when i get there! LOL! Thanks again!
Ypou could just use a mushroom chamber and automate the process.
Wanna take cuttings? Make a mushroom chamber the marthas type that ue a cool mist and a ultrasonic. Take the cuttings put them in the chamber and be sure the cool mist runs 24/7. the ultrsonic comes on every 8 hrs for 1.5 hrs. The job of the ultrasonic is to cover the cuttings with a layer of moisture. the ultrasonic uses a fog to cover the cuttings which is better then a mister cause it doesn't form big droplets on the leaves plus with the constant air flow you get way less fungus, molds and rotting that can take place on leaves when rotting cuttings. With this method you can also take them any size you want. here are some samples.
Like I said you can take them any size you want

Here we can see how the process goes, this guy posted in the start..."info as requested"....See how simple that is, ask and if its relevant to my thread i will add it. In what way is your shroom box related to how i do clones and explained in the opening post??? Wait....it has a lid doesnt it...??? there's 1 for ya....
