I have not had much luck with cloning in the past. This time, I am using the right equipment and sure hope it works. I will be testing two different cloning hormones on 6 cuttings.

Three cuttings sat in Hormex root stimulator for 1 minute before being planted.

Hormex is excellant for extending the life of fresh flowers and for use as a liquid cutting solution for propagation of cuttings or clones. Hormex can also be used as a root stimulator for bare root planting. Use as a general plant stimulant to promote lush, vigorous plant growth.

The other three were simply dipped into the Clonex, as per instruction, and planted.

Clonex is a tenacious compound which will remain in place around the plant stem, supplying the hormones needed to initiate root cell formation and a complex profile of vitamins to protect delicate new root tissues. In addition, Clonex has a full spectrum of mineral nutrients and trace elements to feed the young roots. Clonex is unquestionably the most meticulously formulated rooting compound ever produced. 500% stronger than most powders. Concentrated. Directions for use: Dip cutting in Clonex to desired depth. Insert into rooting medium. Mist cuttings and place in propagator.

The cuttings were planted in a mixture of fox farms ocean forest soil and perlite, about 50/50, in 8oz stryfoam cups. They are inside a dome, and sitting under a small fluorescent light. I do not have a camera, but figured a product test was something I could offer from this experience. I will update when something happens.
