I'm approaching the point in the next week or so where i can clone my females. I have about 4 females (i think my other 3 might be male, haven't gotten that far into flowering yet to tell) and they're all about 12" tall with tons of potential clone material (i plan to make at least 65-72 clones). I don't care if the mother(s) live or die, they're in my hydro system as well but only to jump start my grow, i will proceed to soiled mothers once i've filled up my 144 sites of much needed growth. (the mothers will end up being 3rd generation clones)
Anyway, onto the point.
What works best for you guys as far as jump starting clones? Rockwool cubes or the r.r. plugs?
I see people using rockwool a lot, but the guy at my greenhouse uses r.r. plugs and gets great results... he uses Azos powder (50/50 mix with water). He soaks about 5 or 6 of same strain cuttings in a shot glass for 20min. Then puts them in the plugs. Then uses another 50/50 mixture (unused for dipping cuttings) to pour over the plugs. He claims he gets 100% rooting.
This sounds great and all, but i guess i'm just not a fan of the plugs and i haven't tried anything different to really know what i like to use best. Any of you other guys have some input on how you do your cloning with good success rates?
