I'm going to be dealing with a lot of cuttings because being my first time cloning I'm expecting a lot of casualties. I also need to minimize the amount of time I'm in the bush so time is an issue, what if I skipped wrapping the cuttings up in paper towels (to save on time) and just misted the container, do you think that will be okay for 2-3 hours?A 6 quart plastic shoebox would make a good container to protect nice long cuttings during transport. You could even drill a couple holes so it "breathes" but for brief periods not needed. Hold the cutting upside down so the leaves fold in then wrap loosely with a dry paper towel and lay it in the shoebox like flowers from the flower shop. Repeat until full, then mist lightly and put the lid on the box. Keep out of direct sunlight and they ought to be safe for a whole day.
Batteries not included, your mileage may vary.
Cut 'em & box 'em. 2-3 hours is no biggie unless its 110F out. Even a cardboard box would be fine for such brief period and without misting even. Just keep them out of direct sunlight so they don't get cooked.
Yes, you can. It's best to keep them in a moist environment, so even a plastic bag that's misted on the inside will work fine.
it takes awhile 7-10 days sometimes longer but the success rate is in the mid 90's. just add fresh water as needed, keep out of direct light. primarily to keep existing mother strains going. AND the cuttings i take are generally pretty small.
once roots of 1/2" or longer are showing i the coffee cup, I plant in a solo hempy cup (3 parts perlite and 1 part vermiculite) and start lightly feeding her from there.
This is actually pretty important. Not necessarily the size, but the condition of the plant. Younger plant material roots more easily. The more woody it gets, the more difficult it becomes.
