My 3 cup rooting method

Here is what I do.

I use 2-18 ounce clear cups and one 18 ounce black cup.

My dirt cup (clear) I put 10-12 holes (1/4" dia) with soldering iron
in the sides and bottom.

I take the other clear cup and melt 1 hole in the top.
This will be the humidity dome to raise humidity inside.

I have tried adding a draft hole at the bottom of the top cup
but it has not worked as well as it drafts out the humidity to fast.

Prepare the cuttings by cutting from the bottom to about 6 inches
total length. I just want a clean cut before dipping it in Clonex.

Using spagnum moss fine cut, plus I add 30 percent perlite.
to put in my dirt cup.
I wet the mix first, not soggy but moist.
This variety has produced no fungus gnats so far.

Make a hole in the dirt for the cutting, dip in clonex and put into hole..


Then I lightly tape the top cup to the dirt cup and put
the whole thing in the black cup.

Put it on a window sill a leave it alone for at least 2 weeks.

Wait until roots are showing, then add 2-3 holes to the top cup(humidity chamber)
Wait a week or more and add 4-5 more holes to the top cup.
This is allowing the cutting to adjust to lower humidity.

After say another week you can remove the top cup completely.
I put that top cup in between the black cup and dirt cup as a separate
humidity trap but keeps roots out of the water.

That is all it takes.
Have fun rooting, also works killer on seed starting.
