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.

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

This bacame this

seriously OP? An experienced grower provides an awesome tip and you reply with get out of my thread? Way to discourage the mods from providing useful information. I mean who is going to want to type up a long, clear, informative response only to get shut down?

wow, this one fell off didnt it?
If anyone has questions on the cloning guide, please feel free to post them here as i am checking in on this more often now.
This is for noobs, so please no vets in here telling me how to do this.....Thanks

Now most the people here aren't beginners and yes I know there are beginners here but most have growing experience and are looking for people posting that are having similar issues as them. Yes some beginners are gonna post how this is a help to them and I'm sure it is cause it's good info but it's also info most of us have in every grow book in our collections without anything new added to it. Every bit of info is in every grow book printed since the mid 80s.

If you wanna help some people lets hear about problems you've had taking clones and how you solved them rather then information most of us have already.
