Has anyone ever used willow water for cloning cannabis? i stumbled across a you tube video about it and made some from a weeping willow. I have been misting the cuttings 2-3times a day and they have been in a humidity dome for 7 days. There is 0 wilt. have also tested it through folliar application on some vegging plants and they responded very well.seems to work like Super Thrive. no roots on the cuttings yet.

I've heard you are supposed to water them with the willow juice, I haven't tried it but have always been interested in attempting it.

Keep us posted on how it turns out.

When you don't want to buy all that stuff that costs you money, just use your spit but don't clone when you got cottonmouthsmile

willow water works well for cloning and the inch plant also produces roots in plain water in 24 hrs. and develop rapidly. Presumably rooting hormone suspended in this water could be used in an cloning procedure to measure effects on cloning time; could be used to water established clones to bolster rooting.

thanks Kenny Canuck, i tried cloning 12 cuttings, as that is the legal #. through your links the tea looks a lot better. 4 of the clones collapsed and 5 of the other 8 might take root. Am going to try another batch today or tomorrow. And not spending any more permission slips would be good. i will that the willow tea was used on some cuttings that were in a greenhouse with less than ideal rooting temps and they pulled right out of it.New brine bucket will have a screen cover to keep out critters and will try aerated tea this time also

willow water update as fallows---- am making a new batch of cuttings this evening. this time the brine has aerated for 48 hrs.in a 5gal. bucket w/a lid on it. It is my belief that bugs landed and died in the brine and contaminated the "willow water". Only this time there are six in willow water and six in clone-ex sol. and gel. Both will be under same humidity dome and 24hrs. light. Everything i do here is greenhouse/outdoor and 99.9%organic.

Willow trees are about the fastest rooting tree there is, the natural hormone is amazing.

How is your PH with the willow water? That may throw off the poor clones.
