Section 2<br />

Cloning<br />

and Rooting<br />

First, we highly recommend you work this out<br />

with a hydroponic store professional. Without<br />

measuring your grow space and knowing<br />

exactly what you have to deal with, and what level of<br />

work or study you're willing to put in, we can't make a<br />

recommendation.<br />

That said, most often you'll start with a clone, cut from a<br />

plant you'd like to reproduce. This is as simple as cutting<br />

a branch off the plant you'd like to mimic, and then<br />

dipping the cuttings in a rooting solution and planting<br />

it.<br />

After you plant that clone, you'll begin the process of<br />

moving it through bigger and bigger containers to give<br />

the roots space to grow. What might start out as a clone<br />

in a dixie cup full of soil could eventually grow into a<br />

monster plant that lives in a 15-gallon container.<br />

Again, this all depends on how much you're growing<br />

and what kind of space you have.<br />

As far as what you can do to help your plants grow<br />

through this period, you only need to manage a few<br />

things:<br />

1. Your plants' stress level<br />

2. A base nutrient solution<br />

3. Rhizosphere supplements<br />

If you cover those factors well, you'll be setting yourself<br />

up for big time success. In the following pages, we'll<br />

tell you about the solutions we've developed to address<br />

these key aspects of growing, and why we think they're<br />

so great.<br />
