Will cuttings root outside in these temperatures?

[Phillybonker]

I know it's not ideal but can cuttings root outside if my temperatures are 75°F (23.9°C) during the day and 58°F (14.4°C) during the night?

I was planning on using the cup of water method.

Glass of water method is something you can do on a windowsill with steady temps and regular light. It takes about 3 weeks instead of 6-8 days like a regular clone.
Just a personal opinion but cloning should be done under controlled conditions.
It’s not something you walk away from for a week and hope for the best.
If you don’t have a cloning setup that auto mists them, you will need to be like a full time babysitter for at LEAST 10 days.
If you put a cutting into a glass and leaving sitting outside right now (where I am) if the temps don’t kill it, the insects will. It’s a baby in a weakened state that you need to nurture a bit.
Yes, maybe you’ll get lucky and one will get roots…but that’s not really a dependable strategy and the chance of it herming would skyrocket from the obvious stressors.

Suck it and see for yourself.
Try it then you know if works or not.

That's not good news, but not unexpected.

Outdoors is my only option unfortunately.

Just to make sure I'm understanding correctly, you mean using the water method takes longer than other methods, right?

If I had better options I'd take those but my circumstances are quite restricted.

Yep it might have to be that way.

I'll try and think of ways to improve my chances of success.

Does it have to be stealth? If not, a seedling mat to raise temps would help a lot.

The problem is this is outdoors in the bush with no electricity. The clones will have to face those cool nightly temperatures without any help.

The main strain I'm growing however is quite hardy and apparently is easy to clone so that gives me a small ray of hope.
