Thanks for your video. Also, I have some ideas to grows up to 10 x the
plants, by 50 % the time, with more healthy plants, while “fish” carry out
everything…” help1.info/aquaponics-tutorial

Use honey to clone your plants if you dont want to have to go and buy a
cloning product… I think it might be cheaper too…

Matt, I’ve looked at a lot of cloning products, and he ones i’ve seen say
“not for veg, fruit, or plants that will be eaten.” What do you think on
that?

I feel that if you’re cloning a pepper or tomato plant and it’s placed into
a hydroponic or soil system by the time the plant starts to bare fruit I
wouldn’t think there would be any trace of the cloning product left. I’ve
read the warning too and I still use them but anyone having second thoughts
can just skip out on using cloning products or try more natural
alternatives. I wish I could tell you what exactly the concern is for the
product but I can’t. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

Right because I’m sure you know better than Ed rosenthal and I’m sure
you’ve studies the Anatomy of plants

A light mist every other day wouldnt hurt. But no I wouldnt say you “need”
to.

Hey Matt, Love all your videos you have created. Im now onto season 2, but
I have a question for you. It concerns the rockwool. I noticed that you
soak your rockwool then take em out of water and place seed or cutting into
it and then into your humidity dome. Do you not drain the rockwool at all?
I have seen on other videos that you should get as much water out of the
rockwool as possible as it can just rot the plants. Im only asking as Im a
newbie at this. Thanks Macca

Do you have to have the T8 light? How about direct sunlight in a well lit
window?

I’ve been doing some research on rooting hormone lately and even though it
isn’t very expensive, it doesn’t seem to increase dependability of the
cloning process drastically enough for me to want to pay for it. People
have been cloning vegetables for thousands of years and rooting hormone has
been around for what, 25 years? I use pure honey to dip my clones then I
throw them in rockwool soaked with ph adjusted water. When I soak my cubes
I put 2-3 drops of SuperThrive in.

@Higgs666 I don’t buy the superthrive just for clones so I wouldn’t
constitute it as a “cloning expense”. I use in all my reservoirs when the
plants are looking a little dumpy.

@Higgs666 that sounds like a cool idea about usnig honey. Thanks!

Instead of cutting a 45 degree angle try cutting verticaly down the stem
about a half inch and more of the rooting area will be exposed – better
roots happier plant

wrong 45 degree angle always outperforms vertical..

have you ever tried to clone with dwc, deep water culture? I think you can
use a small bucket filled with enough water to cover the bottom inch or so
of your net pot. Add an air stone to the water and maybe some liquid
seaweed for nutes and I think that’s it. sound right to you?
