I've just gotten through my first round of cloning Satori, with acceptable results. But the success rate was not as high as I expected.

This is my first time cloning Satori, but I've cloned in the past with about 90% success rate.

All my former clonings were done with Clonex gel and mist in Rapid Rooter plugs with un-ph'ed tap water. But this time I used 1.5" rockwool cubes and Take Root powdered rooting hormone plus Clonex mist. I used non-ph'ed distilled water (just like Jorge Cervantes does in his latest youtube video).

I grew three Satori plants from seed, and took three clones from each, for nine total. Then I flowered the parent plants. All three were female, but one was noticeably more healthy and vigorous than the other two. And its clones did noticeably better than the other clones. I had six of nine clones take root, but their relative health seemed directly related to the health and vigor of their respective parent.

In the end, I kept the three clones from the same (healthiest) mother.

I've anticipated trying Satori for a long time. And now it's so close. I can hardly wait.
 
Good for you. I don't blame you for being hardly able to wait. Sounds like you may have gotten different satori phenos.. Very interesting. Love to see some pics. Congrats!
 
I have better luck with Rapid Rooters than I do rockwool. It might just be the different medium that caused you problems. Everyone needs to find what works for them.

I hope that you enjoy your Satori. I just love it!

I only switched to rockwool because they stand up by themselves. Just wanted to try them.

I've found they hold more water than I thought.

I liked Rapid Rooters better.
 
Very cute new babies. They look good for 2 weeks. keep up the good work.
 
I've never used rockwool but I have heard people say they recommend putting a layer of perlite underneath them to let them dry out a bit faster and prevent them from getting water logged.
