For clones I used a aeroponics cloner that I made. Just use regular tap water , dip in stem room liquid and boom roots in 4 to 7 day. Also I love this way as when I decide if it’s going outside or into a hydroponic system I have no mixed media. I don’t like having a chuck of rock wool in the middle of a soil pot or in my hydro. system. Breading is a whole other world but small batch defeated to keep pollen harvest and seed production 100% no chance or mix . To end I love landrace strains the only one I am missing is a true lamb bread and a true Afghan strain.
Sometimes, when I’m not feeling so lazy, I’ll even scar some of the skin tissue from the stem in addition to cutting at the 45° angle exposing more area to potentially root quicker
I did that also when I took my clones. I took a razor blade and lightly scrapped the sides of the stems. I believe it helps. It was my first time cloning so I don’t have anything else to compare it to.
Seems to be about what I have done, only I use rapid rooters pre soaked in cloning solution. Give a little squeeze to remove excess solution. I also cut and immediately place into cup water while taking them.
