Cloning Products

Traditionally, cloning has made use of high quality water and three basic products.  The first of these is a rooting media of some sort.  Whether rockwool, or Root Riot cubes, the ideal rooting media cradles the cutting stem in a moist oxygen rich matrix.  The second element required for the successful rooting of cuttings, is a high quality rooting compound.  No matter the brand, these products employ hormones to encourage the formation of roots.  The third aspect of a successful cloning project is high humidity environment, which prevents tender cuttings from wilting until they develop roots capable of maintaining hydration.  This is most easily accomplished via the combination of an inexpensive propagation tray and humid.  Although not as quick as a cloning machine, the traditional method is robust, inexpensive, and boasts high success.
