Clones should never be removed from their high humidity environment until they have roots. How long it takes a clone to root is another matter that will vary on your cuttings health, strain, and environment. You can do this by removing the humidity dome and leaving it off for a while, usually around 20 minutes to 2 hours.

If they are wilting, spray the cuttings and put the dome back over the clones. This will start the process of acclimating them to normal humidity levels, and prevents shock. Once they are crispy to the touch you can remove them. You might be left wondering how to even clone using a humidity dome, or what a clone even is.

More commonly referred to as cuttings, gardeners have been doing it for years. The key to cloning cannabis plants is to provide the right nutrients, temperature, and humidity for the plant to thrive.

Taking a clone or cutting is simple. Start by cutting the branching stem as close as possible to the main stem. This makes sure you have plenty of room for roots to grow. Drop the cutting into a cup of water to stop air from getting into the stem.

Then prepare your starter or seedlings tray by moistening the soil. When your tray is prepped, go back to your original cutting. Cut the base of the stem at a degree angle. Cambium is what will aid in root development. Dip each branch into cloning gel, roughly an inch above the degree cut. Coat generously and then place into the previously prepared starting tray. Make sure to poke a hole in the soil before sticking the cutting in, as the rooting hormone will get wiped off if there isn't a pre- made hole for the cutting to be placed into.

The reason humidity domes are recommended for clones is due to humidity. Clones or cuttings need a much higher humidity level than seedlings. Humidity domes make sure that clones get enough moisture to root successfully. As we mentioned above, it will take around a week to 10 days for your clones to root.

While your first day will obviously revolve around the cutting process, the rest of your week should look something like below. Day 2: Remove the humidity dome and spray your clones with water.

You should be doing this at least once a day. Day 3: Make sure to mist the plant at some point in the day. A good humidity dome will also have vents you will be able to open and you should do this now.

This allows the moisture to escape slightly and stop the plant from growing mold. Day 4: Leave your vents open and continue to spray daily. Hopefully by this point, your clones should be more noticeably upright than the previous days. If they are more upright, it means they are absorbing water. This will encourage the roots of your clone to search down for more water.

Before planting a clone, dip the stem in rooting gel first and then into the rooting powder. Some strains root better when dipped in powder and some root better when dipped in gel.

By using both on every clone, you ensure they all get whichever of the two they prefer. You always want to dip them in gel first, because it protects the stem from being clogged. After you have dipped the stem in both the gel and the powder, stick it in one of the peat pellets or whatever other medium you are using, like Rockwell cubes, etc. Clones need warmth, moisture and light. Once all the clones are planted in their peat pellets and the pellets are all lined up in the cloning tray, add a tablespoon of water to the pellet at the base of the stem.

This serves to activate the rooting gel and powder. You also want to fill your spray bottle with room temperature water and spray the clones, as well as the base of the cloning tray and the inside of the lid. Use the misting setting for all of this. After misting, place the dome on the cloning tray. All of the water you sprayed ensures a high humidity inside the dome, which is exactly the environment clones need.

Whatever type of grow light you are using should go directly above the dome. If you are using a more powerful LED or a metal halide bulb, leave 2 or more feet of distance between the light and the dome. A dimmable LED grow light is great for this situation, since you can dial down the intensity, which also saves on power costs. You should mist the clones and the inside of the dome twice a day, every day.

Ideal times are in the morning and in the evening. The best way to get them is to grow roots, so we are encouraging that. On the first two days, just continue misting twice daily maybe even 3 or 4 times on the first day, if necessary.

Keep the vents closed at all times. On the third day with the first day being the day you took the clones , open the vents and leave them open. This lets moisture escape, which may seem like a bad thing, but will actually help encourage rooting. The lack of moisture dries out the peat pellets.

On the 3rd day, there will already by the beginnings of roots sprouting inside them stem and the lack of readily available moisture encourages them to grow more quickly to find a source of moisture. On the 5th day, check to pellets to see if they are dry. If they are, add about 2 cups of water half a liter. Add the water to the cloning tray, letting it fill the grooves. Do not add the water directly to the peat pellets.

Adding water to the pellets makes it too easy for the plants to get water. We want them to have to reach down to the cloning tray to get water, because the way they do that is by growing roots downward. It is another way to speed up the formation of roots.

On the 6th day, you want to close the vents again. By now you should be seeing some roots coming out of the peat pellets for some of the clones. Now that the roots have begun to show, they need extreme humidity to encourage further growth.

On the 8th day, add another 2 cups of water to the cloning tray. This time, infuse the water with a minimal amount of grow nutrients.

Go ahead and remove the dome so that the clones can adjust to the normal environment. They should all have strong root growth, which means you can transplant them to their next home in a small grow tent or a large one.
