Popping seeds is fun. But to really master the art of growing, you need these three tips on cloning plants.
Growing is therapy.
frustrations can turn into science projects
Failures into learning
Don’t forget, you don’t fail until you stop trying.
Never stop growing!😉
Jerry has Spoken!
I think Scotty sprinkles Recharge on his food. 😂
I'm in my 70s and I learned to clone years ago from an old hippie grower he always just used rockwool cubes and made his own microbial inoculant by grabbing a handful or two of soil from the base of a tree in the woods and putting that in a bucket of water and shaking it around and let that sit for about 24 hours when he would strain out the water from the slurry and use that for the water at the bottom of the tray that the rockwool cubes were sitting in it worked every time we didn't have recharge back then
Good Stuff, thanks for sharing!
I've only cloned twice. I used organic honey on the cut part of the stem. Mixed in a little mycorrhizae in some blank soil and use an empty gallon of water as a humidity dome (removing it twice a day for 15 - 30 minutes and fanning the clones gently for about 60 seconds). Kept them on the kitchen window cile in indirect sunlight until I notice new growth. Obviously keeping the medium moist and not drenched. I use a spay bottle for that. I wait til the top of the soil appears to be drying up and then I hit'em with 15 - 20 sprays. It's worked both times
Doing my first grow now ..and went all in mainlined that beast ..took clones.. got 9 out of 10 id say not to bad for my first time...thanks for all the info ..fl 👋
Hell yeah, Good Luck.
@@ScottyReal420 bro you and all the guys from DGC rock
Never took clones yet I'm still stuck in my autoflower faze...but recently got a bunch of fem photos so cloning will definitely be in my future soon....thanks scotty
Hell yeah, Try it out.
You should try photos it’s not hard
Scottaaaaaay! I just took cuts last night! Our timing is almost in sync 🎉
Same here…😅
Was just discussing Jerry-rigged cloning setups with my Growmie… 🪴
Nice!!
Scotty, I'm so old-school I have been cloning straight into dirt like they're tomatoes, for 15 years with a very high rate of success, (although rooting happens slow that way,) and I just bought an AC Infinity 5x8 clone dome with height extender, light and timer and this thing is a real game changer! Now I don't have to turn the lights on and off at the wall switch anymore...I might even add a timer to my flower tent!!! I saw it on your show...I think? I might have been just a little high? 🤣
Scotty Common sense is not very Common these days, So lucky there’s blokes around like you that can explain things.
Keep em coming son your a Champ.
Thank you, we will!
I love cloning. I used to use the dome with rockwool or soil. I’ve switched to a DWC cloner and love it. Very low maintenance, no wilting. Spider Farmer Smart G-12 for the win 👍 you can keep a mom and make clones in the same unit.
Hell yeah!
I've been a grower for only 2 years, but am learning from an old school grower who does everything the old hard way. I'd like to try some of the newer techniques.
give them a shot, experimenting is fun!
@@ScottyReal420 Thanks, man. Your channel is helping me learn!
I do deep water culture and bubbleponics I'm a big fan of dwc and I also use clone x for clones but I also used bubbler for my clones and a dome
Great info I just did a clone experiment they are at nine days today❤420 family
Lots of great information ! I have only messed with cloning tomatoes and peppers and that's if I broke a branch . Peppers are hard to clone so I found putting them in dark beer bottles helped. Thanks for sharing and have a great day !
Thanks for sharing!
Great episode Scotty keep rocking!!
Thank you for this format ❤
You are so welcome!
I have 3 amazing phenos from ethos genetics that I cloned. I'm running whole crops of each pheno for the next 3 crops. I'm also popping 5 ethos candy store beans to pheno hunt them through the next few crops. Then I'll wash, rinse and repeat. Great video ❤
I keep seeing these air rooting balls. You take a branch and girdle it, put some rooting hormone right above where you girdled it. Girdle as in 1/4-1/2" wide strip of bark removed and you fill each half with peat moss and close it up right above the stripped part and after a few weeks open it up and there's a rooted clone ready to get cut from the branch. Common with fruit trees I hear. I bought a bunch of them and took the main stem to an 18" Glookies from seed, girdled it at 1 foot high, put some cloning gel on the upper part and loaded each half with moist peat moss from those expanding seed starters, closed it up and put a bit of water in the top hole like you should as needed. The plant grew to almost 3 feet tall and when I opened that ball it was loaded with roots. Now I had a 2 foot plant! The first 2 worked wonders and then nothing. My giant Fat Bastard wouldn't root and none of the others I had on side branches did either. I opened the balls to look and they were loaded with little maggots that ate the roots. Over 30 just rotted away. I decided to clean up the few that looked decent enough and tried again, same thing. Worms in the rooting balls. Guess what? Go buy some Jiffy pot expandable seed starters and soak them as per instructions with room temp tap water overnight. These have been smashed hydraulically and are bone dry. Break one of those soaked peat plugs open and take a look. You'll find them loaded with those worms. Those things are a total menace to cloning and seedlings just waiting for you to revive them with some water. So I tried vermiculite and nothing rooted. vermiculite with moisture holding polymer and nothing. Haven't tried coco coir yet or my vermiculite worm poo blend. I doubt I will anytime soon. But it sure was nice opening that ball and seeing all those roots on a 2 foot cutting. Figure it out and you can root out entire branches. Dirt cheap on Temu. I'm sure using boiling water with the peat pellets would solve the worm / nematode problem.
I love trying different stuff too (I’m new to cannabis growing) but at end of day I’m finding cannabis will root into anything and even root into thin air if it’s moist enough. It doesn’t even need rooting hormone.
I’d bet Neem oil will kill the worms with no danger to humans and you can get this stuff called “neem cake” (what’s leftover after they extract the neem oil), mix it with water and just water with it to kill the worms and probably everything else in the soil.
Hadn’t heard of grubs in peat pots until now but my daughter bought some bagged soil mix at Lowes to top off a garden bed and now that bed is loaded with root eating grubs- like many hundreds! No problem in her other beds.
Right on brother you always keep it real and simple
I appreciate that
I had trouble rooting clones because I live in the desert it's so dry and hot here. I tried sand course river sand because the cubes wouldn't work for whatever reason. I put a bunch of cuts in about 3 inch of sand use the little powdered rooting hormone and a heat mat and had 100 % success.
The EZ cloner may be a good choice for you in the dry dessert. it will keep the stem moist at all times.
I had a nice perpetual crop growing. Your right Scotty, cloning it’s so much faster then seeds. I have been growing autos for the past year. No cloning. There is no such thing as a perpetual crop with the autos. With the photos I had 2 harvest every month. I always just took my clones, dip them in a growth hormone powder, And placed them in sponge plugs. I never had any problems getting them to root. I am curious about the turbo cloned. I started hydroponics this year, and wanted to try aero ponics, but not until I get a generator for my house lol.
Give it a try, experimenting is fun!
You're old school like me Scotty. I'm 53 and a old pirate grower from British Columbia Canada. These kids today and their Autoflowers just make me laugh. My handle on grow diaries is AutoFlowersSuck, and boy do i get a lot of backlash for that name! I'm a cloning guy and i keep mothers. Auto's belong outdoors! My clones cost me a little rooting powder, and a grodan rounded half slit cube and about 8 days. I use Clonex, and mist with super thrive, and promix rooting powder and a clone dome. Nothing fancy....Dome sits on the floor in the mother space and in 8 days i got roots.
Depending on where u grow too my brother you growing in Mexico lol 😂😂😂
I totally agree man about the autos. They’re great in this northern hemisphere here because the shorter growing season. And even outdoors, I still didn’t have the best results with them.
@@steveib724there's never an excuse to grow an auto indoors
@merledonoho9766 ya they grow big airy buds and weird mutations. I'm also a BC pirate grower I'm 43. Been at it for a long time now.
@@mikehunt4797remember the weed in bc in the 90's? where is that quality today???? bruce banner, gorilla glue....those aint shit compared to what was around in bc in 1990
A simple UPS backup on your cloner timer and pump will last for days keeping that pump going and your clones/aeroponic plants alive in case of a power outage.
Thanks, great info!
I use rapid rooter cubes and some generic root hormone and have close to 98% success.
I just use a big movie theater cup with an aerator from a fish tank. lol. But have used the plugs
Rockwool ,gel,mist with clonex 1x a day with dome, 8-20days lots of roots
This is what I do and I haven't had a clone failure in years. I trim up my cuttings as I take them, and put them directly into de-chlorinated water. Then I wait a week or so until I see little white bumps on the stems. I dip the little white bumps into rooting powder and plant them. I don't do anything else. Wait for the little white bumps before using any rooting compound. Look with a magnifier if you have to, and don't be afraid if the leaves turn yellow. Let's overgrow the Earth!!
Good info Sir, Old school 👍💨✌️
Sorry for my English, i found out that descending moon is also very important. Clones are rooting faster, easier. One of my clones show a tiny roots after 5 days from cut. Aeroponic, clonex and descending moon.
you read my mind with this one, i am about to take clones for my first time ever in a few weeks, tired of having to buy them overpriced clones at the dispensaries, thumbs up... i'm more of a hobby guy i dont mind spraying and i got tons of rockwool i dont use mind as well use them for clones,already got the heat pad yeah imma go old school
Hell yeah, Good luck. You got this!
I used to do it old school. However I would have inconsistent results. Maybe 70% success overall? Mostly because my own person schedule was irregular and sometimes mold would grow, or they be too wet for too long, or dry. Finally bit the bullet and spent a few dollars on a hydroponic cloner. My success rate is easily over 90%. Only being down because one time the cloning failed because My PH pen wasnt calibrated properly and I PHed my water solution WAY wrong. Minus that instance im easily 99%. So much less effort, highly recommended. Only thing id say is you can buy ANY hydro cloner and it COULD work, just invest in a good airstone / bubbler if your kit comes with a cheap one, its sooo important. PH pen being second, ive noticed the PH can vary quite a bit with very similar results, so most people shouldn't have an issue here even if using cloneX.
Good stuff, Thanks for sharing!
I bought IBA3 and some carbomer 940 for dirt cheap and used distilled H2O. Mixed it up at a .250% or 250PPM of indole strength cloning gel. I might add some myco grow from Fungi perfecti later. First I learned not to put it on thick, just a little bit at the bottom or the stems turn to mush. Aeroponics sucked for me. The emitters would get clogged in a few days and even with just the indole and water the stems got mushy because the water got too hot. So I took some vermiculite and a bit of worm castings and finally started to get roots. Trimming lower branches I always have these little tiny sprouts at the leaf nodes about an inch long that look like perfect mini clones. Several nodes with tiny leaves and a nice tip and because of the size always threw them out. Same when thinning out plants a few weeks into budding. Well I took some of those clear plastic condiment cups about 1.5" tall and wide. Melted some drain holes and tried rooting those little guys out in the vermiculite worm casting blend. 8 of those clones fit in 1 cup and they all rooted faster than the regular sized cuttings. Perfect well rooted and an inch tall clones. Think about that for transporting or shipping. 100 could easily fit in a small flat rate priority mail box and packed with dry vermiculite for protection. I've got so many of those buggers to separate and repot and they would have all just gone in the trash if I didn't get that wild hair about 6 weeks ago. Some are big enough to take regular sized cuttings from 3 weeks after being clipped and dipped. They really take off. In fact, I like those better than 3-5" cuttings.
Great ep as usual🤙🍻💨
Much appreciated
I’ve rooted clones with using recharge, root plugs and 2 solo cups with a heating pad. All that extra stuff they try to sell you is insane granted it works. Rooting plug, rooting powder, recharge heating pad with Solo cups get the job done
💪
Thank you Scotty!
I enjoy your tips and tricks. Question: does Recharge have a shelf life? Thanks
Love your videos. Im a new grower growing for my first time. Im watching all of your videos. I was wondering if you could explain a bit more on coco. I bought the mother earth you bought and im having lots of problems with it. Please help
Great video Scotty. Keeping up..❤😊
Thank you! Will do!
Love the aeroponic cloners
I'ma bubbleponic chronic type of guy. No dome either. 🔥💨
Kickin' out another video, 1st thing in the morning!!! Hell yeah!!!! Happy Thursday buddy! 🥳 ✌🎉🎉🎉
Morning!
It’s called a bubble cloner but they take longer to root but you can get some serious roots 😂
Scotty reels. Great info
My best hunting Thema Cannabis
I’m only on my 3rd grow but are clones really faster than seed?
My first grow was seed (unknown genetics) and the plants were up and running very quickly like out of the ground in about a week and really taking off by week 3. 2nd grow was commercial clones in root riot cubes and the dispensary said they were 3 weeks old. Took them about 8 days to settle in and take off. 3rd grow from my own clones and similar trajectory as purchased clones.
So far I’m liking the certainty clones provide but in my very limited experience seems like seed is similar if not slightly faster than clones- am I missing something??
All you need is a cub of high quality soil with some inoculum and put it under a dome with a myster easy been doing it this way for 30+years 99%success rate rare to loose a clone usually can pick the best to fill my garden and the rest go outside to grow wild sometimes thats the better smoke😊😊😊
How much lums in 100w blue bulbs, for extra blue in grow room, and what about a black light bulb, in flower stage with some red bulbs and regular whites, and if some down below for full penetration of light
Yo Scotty, you should do something on Cloning! lol
🤣
Are the feeds you use organic
My buddy uses the cube method I use a dollar general small to medium 2-3 gallon tote drill paddle bit size up to you the smaller the hole the more room on the lid of the tote for more clones styrofoam sheet cut your hole and slide grove just make a pac man cut your clone angle cut it dip in clone gel get a good coat insert in your foam piece set it in the hole now very important to remember stretch a small trash bag around the lid it keeps water from spraying out between lid and tote lets it run back down in the tote keeps everything nice and clean no leaks and having a single airline with air stone is beneficial for keeping plenty of oxygen in the water most cost is your water pump and air pump and bottle of clone X
the cloners are very easy to diy! nice job!
Can you veg a clone for 2 months before flipping to flower ?
🔥
No the time from the cut to flower is not faster then a strong seed 😅 my opinion.
But its a blind flight ✈️🫣
For cloning I use canna coir coco coins that b.a.s uses. I had a turbo cloner n hated it. The coins are small and I'm able to clone alot in a small dome kit
whats to hate about a turbo cloner agaiN. Cause these things friggin ROCK?
@sotapoptv1649 I just didn't like it. The water, the pump and tube. Just too much stuff to root a clone lol. Cut a branch, stick it in a coco puck under a dome, 7 to 10days I have roots
@@PoppaLongroach pros and cons to everything. keep growing growmie
how do you use recharge to clone? at what ratio per gallon?, are you using recharge and clone x gel only?
You will still use it at 1/2 teaspoon per gallon or water. use it to soak your rooting plugs or media you are cloning with. you can also use a cloning gel.
@ScottyReal420 thanks my growbro 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Hydrogen peroxide helps with the water cloners
Rapid Rooters are near perfect, and transplanting is easier
JM2¢
Who’s the guy off camera? Why is he hidden?
I'd rather use rockwool cubes. Ez cloners you have to make sure they're running good(pump running, water level, etc) you also have to make sure to clean it afterwards.
Rockwool cubes still need maintaining- you have to water them, open the dome twice a day, then acclimate them. None of that is necessary with a DWC cloner and they will root faster. It takes 10 minutes to clean a DWC cloner. Power outage will affect every medium, even rockwool….they all need light.
@yamagrow420 I open them up after 2 days and then just switch out the dome daily and lightly dunk them in nutrient water(whole tray) By day 7, they're already showing roots.
@@edgardls95 sounds like you got a good method going 👍
😎
The aero cloners suck if ya cant keep that water cold enough, and alot can go wrong with the mechanics of it,any grow cube is simple
we have an employee that runs his on a timer 1 minute on and 5 minutes off, he says it keeps the water from heating up.
Awarding
I used an easy cloner 10 years ago with mixed results. The water temp has to be kept cool or the stems rot.I went back to Rockwood and rooting powder(gels are overpriced) with a 80%succes rate sometimes higher.
running it on a timer 1 minute on and 5 minutes off will help to keep the water cool.
Is it “old school” if you can consistently achieve a 100% strike rate?… Good school is good school!…. Is making babies outside of a laboratory “old school?”

Sorry Scotty I've failed sooooo many times at cloning. I'm a seed only girl now. Happy growing
Practice make perfect!
Bro love the channel and products. Been using recharge for about 3 years now. I am lazy to make tea so recharge is it man. As far as grow dots, how much grow dots per gallon of media? thanks
It will depend on media type, for inert media like coco you will want to use 1 Tablespoon per gallon, if you are using an amended soil mix you will want to dial back and use around 1 teaspoon per gallon.
@@ScottyReal420 thank you much
You do use cloning gel right? That is what I do.
Yes, I like Olivia's cloning gel.
