I’ll never do anything except air graft for my clones now. So easy. They just don’t wilt, slow down or anything. Fantastic root ball, take off air graft pod pop in pot and you have strong vibrant plant that isn’t at all fussy about light or humidity like a cloning machine clone is.
When you transplant them they don’t wilt down, you don’t have to put a humidity dome over them. You don’t have to clip the tips off leaves, none of that stuff. When I first decided to try it, I really already knew it would work, because if you stick a bottom limb into the dirt at the top of the pot they always root.
Here is my air clones three weeks after cutting them off the plants.
Just look at those roots…cow poop pots.
The pots are 6" high to the top. 2/3 gallon.

Thats why i do not use clone machine domes. I clone in the enviroment they cam from. They dont wilt or get fussy with moisture. I hate domes for that reason. I get 100% success rate on clones every time in 10-14 days. And my roots can get up to 24" in length. And i use a cloner also because i grow in hydro as well. and im not trying to rinse rootballs out to put into hydro and contaminate my whole system with dirt and shit. But those look pretty cool. I mean ive cloned every way possible. And cloned every part of the plant testing clones. But never used those before. And the cloner doesnt need anything but water and clonex. And i can get 2.5yrs out of 4oz. Bottle of the clone gel.

Well I sure get that Prey. I grow in soilless or soil so it works perfect for me. Didn’t know you never use a dome when you are cloning. I only did clones two times with my cloner and put the dome on, every time I took the damn dome off they got yellow and wilted just had a fit. So I would have to put it back on, then i had to get a timer for the cloner as running it all the time the water got too hot and killed the roots, of course I got all that sorted out, but thought man what a pain in the ass lol.

Yep that’s what happens and your supposed to slowly acclimate them by opening the dome a little at a time

I received this in the mail yesterday, genetics from a reliable expert (that would be you @PreyBird1 )
It’ll be allowed to rest a little today and then put into a larger and permanent home.
Thanks, I’ll keep you posted on progress!

Sweet jesus it arrived!!. Clone shipping always worries me. I made sure the plant would have ample roots and would be perfectly ready to plant the moment you opened it. Its one of my favorite strains i have ever created. That is lavender x pirates cake. I call it pirates booty. Its part pirate and part treasure! Im trying to reverse it. I tried 2x but nothing. I just bought new chems and im going to try and reverse it again. Because ive got a few strain crosses in mind. I’ve got fresh Runtz pollen. And i want reverse the pirates booty and cross it into my Runtz or vise versa. But i have 11 strains on hand and i just added Nyc diesle. Im gonna make a Runtz and lava freeze strain.

Pirates…booty…certainly sounds like something that most any male would want to do lol. Do you use a special container made for clones? She certainly looks like she faired well on the journey.

I only use these. Clone shippers. The batteries last up to 100hrs. Ive used the same shipper like 4 times. And when the batteries die you can cut the top open swap them out.

Lol heres the booty mate!
Ok here we are again cloning my garden. I reclone my entire garden at 6-8week intervals. Keeps my mothers fresh and small. I like to have at least 3 plants of every strain i have growing in case i get a pest or if i lose a plant i have more in the inventory! This time were adding 2 new strains of mine i made a couple years agoand one recently.
- Runtz x Pirates Booty.
- Runtz x 13th ghost.
Im going to run buth of these strains in my hydro rwdc system with 2 others. Plus i have a bunch more new plants to run right after these. And then i have the land races coming into the mix. I got some plans for a Runtz x hmong thia cross and Vietnamese black. Both are land race crosses.
