I’ve never successfully got roots to grow from a cut before. There was no growth in the first 2-3 days but in the 4th day in the water they boomed. Most of these cuts only have roots growing out of one side.
I have 2-3 cuts in a clay cup with water and I have 5 growing in net cups in a Kratky hydroponic system.
I just made a second hydroponic clone set up that fits 6, I’m doing half tomatoes and half basil. I see tons of videos online of basil clones growing easily, I have an overgrown basil in about to cut and try.
Also just bought some “clone x” brand cloning gel (I didn’t use it on any of these), I’m going to compare it’s affects against just dipping cuts in aloe Vera.
Thanks for looking.

Odd that youve never had luck with it before? maybe the way your doing it, cause i take cut off all my tomato's in spring from the bottom 6 inch so that i can sink them deep into my pots so the wind dont knock them down and they get big and thick. but i save all the cuts outta every 10 i make i may have 1 or 2 not make it, but i just make a mix of potting soil, peat moss a small amount of bark mulch and push the cut into it and pack the dirt around them down a little and keep them good and wet, first couple days they droop. usually they come back, if not they go yellow and the current leaves fall off but they regrow new ones, their just a bit slower then if it takes a good root right off the start and dont end up going yellow. Last fall i cut the main head off two of my roma tomatoes and cloned the tops and nursed them all winter indoors then put them out this spring, their my two largest plants, only been outside a few weeks now and their already pushing 3 feet. and stalks are over a inch thick at the base. 30 or so tomatoes on each, did a blog about it a few days ago.

Cool experiment bro. Great success on getting those roots to burst through.

I tried a rose bush cutting this season. Did not root for me. Oh well.

When I first cut everything, I actually cut a bunch of branches along with the "suckers" because I thought you could clone any cut. I later realized that night that only the suckers will clone. All of the branches were dead and yellow in 24 hours while all of the suckers were still fine. I kind of lost hope after waiting so many days but just kept them in anyway. The one s in the pottery cup actually had all the water dry up and the bottom of cut was dried out, I cut it back further and put it back in water and it came back to life.
I'm going to try cloning more stuff (probably from random plants in public) especially now that I have some clone gel.
I'd really like to get some cuts from avocado and mango trees. Small mango trees in a 3 gallon bucket cost like $60 in my area. small banana tree same size only like $10-20.

GREAT PHOTOS! little baby clones. I like BrandX Gel works really well with my cuttings. Thanks for the heads up the other day about posting on Dtube I will be posting a video on there a little later today.

And always thanks for sharing.
