Pro/Science Tip: Put fresh, unrooted clones in complete darkness for 2-3 days.
Keeping light on it when trying to get it to root, makes the plant think it has roots.
In theory, your taking a plant back to seed stage, making it shoot out a root for nutes.
this was posted in my journal on shroomery and Ive been cloning for almost 3 years and have never heard it b4 now...
does anybody do this?

Ive read darkness for the first 24 hours...maybe it helps but its obviously not necessary. Ive never done it with my aero-cloner but I used to when I cloned in soil/coco...

Interesting.
I always thought it was reasonably bright light that made them do well.

I read it's because you want the cutting to focus on root development rather than vegetation. I give mine light anyways lol.

It's a load of shit. The only thing your gonna do by doing that is give a new cutting light stress.

The only way to make a plant think it's going back to the seedling stage (a process called reverting) is to put it into flowering and then putting it back into a vegetative light cycle. The plant will then go from 7 blade leaves to 5 then to 3 then to 1 and then start increasing the blade number on the leaves again. The process takes 3 to 4 weeks.

I used a light to heat the top soil actually with day/night cycles cuz I figured the root would go downward torwards dark and damp in verm
using a completely different light for growing tho

Dark cycles in clones cause premature flowering.
