are my clones gonna survive?

[Pam]

I just have one little thing to add that I've noticed from my own dismal cloning failures:

Air embolisms.

I have noticed that if I use scissors to make the first cut, the stem gets pinched.

I then do the light scraping, and leaf trimming, and then plunge the cutting under water where I use a razor or scalpel to make the second diagonal cut.

Then I give them a light coat of clonex.

It seems to me that the scissor pinching keeps the cutting from "sucking air" right off.

 

The only other thing I noticed from the pix is that there seemed to be too many leaves on the clones. And the leaves didn't have the tips snipped off. Less leaf = more root...well it's more technicl than that, but easier to remember.

Ok. Here's the pix of the aerocloner I can't find the other post anywhere.

thanks for the aerocloner pics granny

 

 

...and well I didnt believe everyone when they seen the pics I posted earlier of the clones saying they were goners!!

 

..so I kept hope alive and misted them everyday.....up until yesterday...below is a pic of my first attemp at cloning results..just before i chucked em in the bin

 

sad... however Cugel has a few more clones going and I will hopefully finish my bubble cloner tommorrow and start attempt 2
