BlackThumb Clones from first grow diary. Obviously I’ve never cloned lol. Used powder root grow. Spraying plain water several times a day.
Day 0- cuttings
Day 1 still perky and green- good sign
Day 2 no change
Day 3 no change above soil; can’t tell what’s going on with rooting
Day 4 took 2 more clones, totaling 4. No change.
Day 5 took 1 more clone
Day 6 trimmed leaves a bit more so they can put more energy to rooting; some leaf centers yellowing
Day 7 placed clear solo inside colored solo to minimize light to root
Conclusion: i need patience!

BlackThumb Day 8 removed humidity domes; one looks sad
Day 9 no change
Day 10 roots visible on 1
Day 11 no change on 4; root wrapping on 1 - transplanted it - watered 4oz.
Day 12 no change on 4, no roots showing, clipped 1 large clone, 2 ounce water
Day 13 down to 4 clones in cups; threw away puny one, no roots
Day 14 no dome on 3; dome on 1
Conclusion: only 1 rooted well so far; 1 tossed; 4 tba
How many days before I should definitely see clone root growth in a clear solo cup with soil/soilless?
I use powdered rooting hormone & fox farm ocean & frog soil with added peat moss, vermiculite, and perlite.
Hey there so like others said cloning into the cubes goes quick and easy the 7-10 approximately. My clone that I put straight in foxfarm soil took by far the longest and struggled the most. I think it was at least 2 weeks before I saw 1 root on side of the cup. You can also use natural honey or aloe vera in your water, they have natural rooting hormones and can really help out, just mix either or both into the water. (Aloe plant is best). And yes keep the leaves moist, but they also need air.
Best of luck
BlackThumb Day 15 no root growth
Day 16 many visible roots on three oldest solo; nothing on newest
Day 17 waiting on more root growth
Day 18 transplanted three oldest; youngest no visible roots; fed 2 cups; gave 1 oz root juice
Day 19 too sick to get out of bed (barf)
Day 20 (barf)
Day 21 it smells like bengay in here
Conclusion: transplanted clones look great; still waiting on last baby Jane
