Cloning Instructions

1. Start by cleaning and sterilizing EVERYTHING (trays/domes/scissors/razor blades).
2. Soak rooting medium in R/O (reverse osmosis) water mixed with both of these products:
   1. Nature's Solution Compost Tea (1 cup per gallon of R/O water) (Root Soak
   2. KLN Rooting Hormone (2 teaspoons per gallon of R/O water) & Spray)
   3. Cal-Mag (1/4 teaspoon per gallen of R/O Water)
3. Squeeze the excess water out of the rooting medium (coco plugs or Grodan blocks) and place the medium in tray.
4. Keep PH between 5.4 and 6.4
5. Take 8" long clones and place in a cutting tray submersed in room temperature R/O water (this is the safest way to cut a clone).
6. Cut down the 8" long clone to 4"- 6" at a 45 degree angle underwater.
7. Dip 4" - 6" long clone (1/2 inch deep) in one of the following Rooting Hormone.
   1. Dip & Grow Root Gel
   2. Dip & Grow (this one contains alcohol)
   3. Rootech
8. Place clone 1" deep in one of the following grow tray medium.
   1. Coco Plugs (Rapid Rooter or Root Riot)
   2. Oasis Cubes/Wedges
   3. Grodan Blocks
9. Cut all large fan leaves on the clone in half with sterile scissors.
10. Spray clones immediately with the same mixture from LINE #2.
    **Mist clones with this spray once every three days
11. After spraying the clones, spray the humidity dome with the same mixture then place the dome over clones and keep the ventilation holes closed.
12. Place clones in a dark or subdued light for 24 hours.
13. After 24 hours, open (quarter way) ONLY 1 ventilation hole and put a Dual Florescent Light (T-12) or a Single T-5 Light Fixture 1" - 2" over the humidity dome.
14. Set light timer to 20 hours ON and 4 hours OFF.
15. Place Heat Mat under the tray and set thermostat at 77 degrees (always keep clones 74-79 degrees).
    
16. After 5 days, open (quarter way) the 2nd ventilation hole.
17. After 14 days, open (entire way) both ventilation holes.
18. You should have rooted clones ready to transplant in 14-21 days.
19. 24 hours prior to transplanting, prop open the humidity dome 1" - 3" to let air in to harden the clones off.
20. Re-soak rooting medium in solution (line 2) every 4-8 days (pour any excess water out of tray).
    **The trick is to let the grow medium dry out (normally 4-8 days) prior to re-soaking (approximately 75% dry). The clones will try to put out roots to find water.
    

Tips for after Cloning

**When taking clones from clone tray, feed roots with 1/4 strength bloom nutrients for the first week (PPM should be 300 - 500 and PH should be 5.3 - 6.3 for Hydro and 6.2 - 7.0 for Soil).

Advanced Spraying for Veg - Flower

**All sprays should be mixed with 1 quart R/O water and a wetting agent (such as Coco-Wet, SM-90 or Dutch Master Saturator) to make plant sprays.

First Week of Veg: Spray rooted clones with 3/4 tsp. Canna Rhizotonic (or any kelp extract) and 3/4 tsp. Grotek Insta-Green. Spray once per day for 5 days.

Second Week of Veg: Spray plants with 1 tsp. Ful-Power Fulvic (Humic) Acid and 1/4 tsp. Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro. Spray once every other day for 5 days.

Third Week of Veg: Spray plants with 1/4 tsp. Silicate and 1/4 tsp. Bud Factor X (and 1 drop PH Down). Spray only once this week.

Fourth Week of Veg: Spray plants with 3/4 tsp. Canna Rhizotonic (or any kelp extract) and 1/2 tsp. Mag-Pro. Spray only once this week.
**This is a good week to cut clones and trim plants before going into flowering

First Week of Flower: Spray plants with 1/2 tsp of Mag-Pro and 1/4 tsp Silica. Spray only once this week.

Second Week of Flower: Spray plants with 1/4 tsp. Bud Factor Xand 1/2 cup Nature's Solution Compost Tea. Spray only once this week.
**You should start to see small flowers now. The following will be your last spray.

Third Week of Flower: Spray plants with 1 tsp. Aqua Shield and 1/4 tsp Silica. Spray only once this week.

**If you wish to keep spraying plants in the flower stage, use Teas only (like Nature's Solution Compost Tea) with a very fine misting spray only. Spray once per week.
