With these products, you will be able to give your cuttings the best possible start on their journey to a successful harvest.

Necessary conditions for rooting marijuana cuttings

Cuttings need specific conditions to thrive and root properly. Here are some of the key items you need:

• Suitable Substrate : A light, well-drained substrate is essential to allow the development of healthy roots. Substrates specifically designed for cuttings, such as those containing peat moss and perlite, are ideal for providing the right balance of water retention and aeration.
• Rooting Hormones : Rooting hormones help stimulate root growth in cuttings. Applying a hormone solution to the end of the cutting before planting it in the substrate can significantly increase the chances of success.
• Controlled Humidity : Cuttings need a humid environment to prevent them from drying out before they can develop roots. This can be achieved by using a dome or propagation tray to keep humidity high around the cuttings.
• Stable Temperature : Maintaining a constant temperature around the cuttings is important to promote healthy root growth. Most marijuana plants prefer temperatures between 20°C and 25°C for optimal rooting.
• Good Lighting : Although cuttings do not need as much light as mature plants, they still require adequate lighting to encourage root growth and development. A soft fluorescent or LED light may be enough to provide the necessary amount of light without burning the cuttings.

By providing these optimal conditions, growers can significantly increase the chances of success when rooting marijuana cuttings.

Selection of media for rooting marijuana cuttings

To root marijuana cuttings successfully, it is essential to select a suitable substrate that provides optimal conditions for root development. Grow Industry offers a variety of substrates specially designed for this purpose. Among the available options are:

white pearlite

White perlite is especially beneficial for rooting marijuana cuttings. By providing a porous, airy structure, perlite encourages the development of a strong, healthy root system in freshly cut cuttings. Its ability to retain water evenly while allowing adequate airflow around the roots is critical to the success of rooting cuttings. This helps prevent problems like root rot and promotes vigorous growth from the start.

Vermiculite

Thanks to its light and porous structure, vermiculite retains moisture efficiently, providing an ideal environment for the development of the roots of cuttings. Additionally, its ability to retain essential nutrients helps nourish young plants during this critical stage of growth. Vermiculite also improves soil structure, promoting adequate aeration and facilitating oxygen access to the roots.

wool studs

Rock wool is an inert and sterile substrate that offers an excellent balance between water retention and aeration, providing an optimal environment for the development of cuttings' roots. Rockwool plugs and trays make it easier to handle the cuttings during the rooting process and allow for trouble-free transplanting once the roots are well established. Additionally, being a lightweight and easy-to-handle material, they are a convenient option for growers of all experience levels. At Grow Industry we have different sizes:

• 75x75x65mm rock wool plugs : These plugs are ideal for larger cuttings or seedlings, as they offer a larger volume of substrate for initial root development. They are useful for plants that need a little more space to root before being transplanted into a larger growing medium.
• 10x10x6.5mm rock wool plugs : These plugs are suitable for medium to small sized cuttings. They offer a balance between root space and convenient management. They are versatile and can adapt to a variety of plants.
• 10x10mm rock wool plugs : These plugs are smaller and are ideal for very small cuttings or recently germinated seedlings. They provide a welcoming environment for initial root development and are easy to handle.
• 4x4x4mm rock wool plugs : These plugs are the smallest and are ideal for extremely small cuttings or for plants that need very precise rooting. They are useful for the propagation of delicate plants or for controlled rooting experiments.

Therock wool tray is an essential component for the rooting process of marijuana cuttings. This tray is specifically designed to hold rock wool plugs, providing a stable and uniform environment for root growth. The rock wool in the tray retains the moisture needed to promote root development, while allowing adequate air circulation around the cuttings. Additionally, the tray makes it easier to handle and manipulate the cuttings during the rooting process, which contributes to successful transplanting once the roots are well established. With a rock wool tray, growers can optimize rooting conditions and increase the chances of success when growing marijuana cuttings.

Dried Eazy Plugs Tray

Dried Eazy Plugs Tray is a convenient and effective tool for plant propagation, especially for cuttings or seeds. It is designed to hold Eazy Plugs, which are pressed and dried substrates, ready to be rehydrated and used as a germination or rooting medium.

Jiffy for rooting cuttings

Jiffy pressed peat is a versatile and practical planting medium that facilitates the process of germination and rooting of cuttings in marijuana cultivation. Available in various disc sizes, including 41mm, 33mm, 44mm and 24mm, this pressed peat provides a conducive environment for seedling development.

Jiffy Pressed Peat Discs are designed to expand when moistened, making them a convenient and easy-to-use option for starting new plants. Pressed peat moss offers a loose, airy structure that promotes good drainage and water retention, creating optimal conditions for root growth.

The Jiffy tray complements pressed peat discs by providing an organized means to house multiple cuttings during the rooting process. Its design allows an orderly arrangement of the discs, facilitating the manipulation and care of the cuttings while they develop.
