This is copy and pasted from a post I made on discord.
I use "Root Riot" cubes. Which i always use scissors to make hole larger and make sure theres barely a hole in bottom of cube(so all the clone solution doesn't just sit on top of cube, I take large cuts and plants NEED to be very healthy, the cutting itself needs to be ridgid/firm not floppy, but not woody). Clonex, and use that white powdered shit katsu posted the other day lol. (As tempting as it might be, don't sniff it). And great white michorizea.
I'll take the cut, always cut 1/2"- 3/4" below a branch node, and slice that branch off so the fresh open node where branch was is in the cube! I'll lightly scrape below that node. I'll dip in the clonex, then the powder, then dip in the michorizea powder, then go into cube. Then trim ends of leaves so no larger diameter than that of a soda can(if can was held above the cutting).
My solution USUALLY consists of "VegBloom" HD salt fert in 4 gallons of water(like a heaping tablespoon worth), this time I just used the clonex solution at their recommend highest rate(10ml/gal). **ph'd to 5.7! And I always add in 1 tsp of buildasoil's powdered aloe.
***also, the cubes shouldn't be soaking wet, wring some water out, keep them very moist but not soaking. When the tray is done I dip my hand in the water and flick it on inside of dome, and on cuttings. Close the dome. ****MOST IMPORTANTLY close dome and all vents and DONT FUCKING TOUCH IT for 4 days. On 4th day take dome off and use it to vent the tray, waving it moving air around the cuts. Leave off for 10 minutes(they might start to wilt) as soon as you put it back on they will perk rihjt back up. Crack the vents just barely. In another 24 hours do the same move with the top, and open vents to 1/4 open, next day repeat and open vents half, continue each day till vents are open. (Usually open in 7 days, and I have not dunked clones yet after initial dunking). I don't spray the clones at all throughout the process. ***If you keep the leaves moist the plant doesn't want to root!
Thats my tech and recipe
