JARG's Rooting Tutorial for Making LOTS of Clones. This rooting guide will help you make LOTS of clones without breaking the bank.

You should be familiar with the process of cloning before attempting this setup. This guide is being written to help you take LOTS of clones for those who have been successful with a few clones already. I needed a better way to take my first batch of 12 clones. I tried my JARG Bubbler which works very well for taking a single clone, but was a very laborious and time consuming method for doing lots of clones. I grabbed a few plastic cheap tupperware containers and did the following. I cut 6 holes for clones to be dropped in and 1 spot for air lines to be inserted. It is very easy to watch the roots grow and easy to tell when they are long enough for planting the clones into soil. The Lucas method of cloning salvia divinorum: The Lucas method of cloning salvia divinorum: We start by strolling out into the yard looking for a suitable stalk to butcher.

The tall one in the middle looks good. It has already flowered and lost most of its original leaves. Most importantly, it has new growth and the nodes are close together. This is what the plant looks like after the stalk is removed. The stalk is laid out and prepared for surgery. With a sharp razor blade, the stalk is cut just above each node. The individual pieces are dipped in a diluted solution of rubbing alcohol and liquid dish soap to kill insects and eggs. I drip candle wax on the cut to seal it up. Sometimes you get a twofer. The clones are packaged and transported to the humidity chamber (45 gallon aquarium). Once inside the humidity chamber the clones are provided with CO2. After about a week the clones can be moved closer to the light and misting should be cut back. After another week root growth should be obvious. Soon they outgrow the humidity chamber.
