What parts of the mother plant make the best clones?

The best clones come from rapidly growing top or side shoots. Keep these shoots growing rapidly by keeping the mother plant a bit warmer - around 25°C-30°C and a bit more humid- at about 60%.

You must keep the mother plant insect and disease free. Poor clones make poor plants.

When can I move into the growing room or tent?

When you can see new roots coming from the bottom of the cube.

If you move them too soon, they may lack enough roots to cope with the stress.

If you don't see roots within 3 weeks of taking the cutting, then the chances are they are having trouble striking roots. Carefully (the roots are quite brittle) pull the rock wool apart and check if the roots are growing. If not and the clones are still in good condition, then they might still form roots. However, if they've taken this long then there is obviously a problem with your conditions or the clone material you are using.

I always have trouble striking clones. How can I do it better?

Here are some pointers.

Try using only the best clones.
Make sure you're using a good cloning agent.
Make sure your Rockwool is always moist and make sure the incubator doesn't get too hot.
