look at my clone pics

Hi All

 

Im not sure if any one else has tried willow water; but it works well as a root stimulant, costs nothing and is easy to make.

here's a pic 7 & 8 days after. nice, i didn't think i'd be able to do it. only a 60% success rate tho. i'll repot them, veg them for a bit and flower them with a couple of female clones to get seeds.

hey miss choof, i've never heard of willow water? what is it?

thanks for everyone's help

You are prolly past it with this lot of babies now; but when I was reading about getting your cuttings to root, I noticed you were using tonic straight up. I usually work on the principal 'if it aint broke, dont fix it'; so if you are happy with the tonic, stick with it.

 

Alternately, willow water can be used to water new cuttings; heres some info on it.http://www.bluestem.ca/willow-article1.htm. If you do a google search, there is heaps of info on it. Other stoners might like to put their two bobs worth in as well.

 

It was just a stoner thought I had in the moment; but it alledgedly creates up to 20% more rooting. Anyone could do with 20% more roots... right?

back again!

i've expanded on the ice cream container. it's an 18xcloner.

using an air pump, got a large air stone in there and it's working fine at the moment. i have placed them all just above the water, the ice cream container clones i had going are extremely healthy to this day, but no sign of root growth at all. they were placed 1 cm in the water. they were placed in straight tap water following the bubble cloner post instructions but i wish i let it sit a day.. it smells like a swimming pool.

the water temp is a bit high, it's 30 degrees with no heater or anything, i just put warm water in it and it hasn't moved so i dropped in some ice cubes. it moved half a degree.

i also used clonex purple on two of them.. i'll see if there's any difference.

i hope these little babies go well because if they do they'll become my first grow.

this is that bubble cloner - i'm currently veggin in it.

turned out to be an awesome success, the key to it was to keep the water at a steady 26 degrees celsius.

i had a 100% hit rate, even with semi flowered clones.

doesn't take only one week tho, expect root mass like that at 2-3 weeks. didn't change the water once.
