HESI Clonfix is a cloning tool, indispensable for cuttings to obtain a new independent plant with identical maternal age and genetics. The cloning technique is in great demand among those who practice indoors and want to preserve the genetics of the plant.
Even an inexperienced gardener can easily master the use of Hesi Clonfix. You just need to cut the shoot, apply gel to it and place it in suitable conditions. Hormones in Clonfix Hesi stimulate the formation of roots at the cutting.
For many, the term “cloning” sounds simply fantastic, but despite this, this technology has been used in crop production for many decades. Together with HESI products, this procedure becomes even easier and more accessible.
Recommendations for using Hesi Clonfix
- In the root zone, the temperature can vary from 22 to 27C.
- Optimal ambient temperature is from 21 to 26C, and humidity is from 90 to 100%.
- Sprouts should receive soft, diffused light. To illuminate the clones, you need to use fluorescent lamps of approximately 20 watts.
- Spraying the roots with a 25% nutrient solution containing root hormones will accelerate the formation of the root system.
- For faster development of sprouts, optionally spraying their leaves with a 15% nutrient solution is used.
Application of HESI Clonfix:
- You should select a healthy shoot 3 to 5 inches long from the mother plant that has no more than two pairs (including apical ones) of leaves.
- Using a sterile knife or blade, cut the shoot from the mother plant and immediately place it in a container filled with cloning solution. For this purpose, many experts advise using Hesi ClonFix cloning gel.
- At the next stage, a cut is made at an angle of 45 degrees, slightly above the first cut. This operation will prevent air bubbles from entering the vessels of the appendix, which will prevent the flow of nutrients and water into it.
- Now you need to immerse the cut end of the sprout in the cloning powder or gel, then quickly and carefully insert the sprout ½ into the selected starting substrate. Many gardeners use Perfect Starts root sponges for this purpose.
- After this, the sprouts are placed in a ditch for germination. For normal plant development, the temperature in the cuvette should be between 22 - 27C, and the humidity from 90 to 100%. The greenhouse should have soft, dim light; 20-watt fluorescent lamps are ideal for these purposes. As a rule, the formation of roots lasts from 7 to 21 days, after which the sprout is ready to be transplanted to a permanent or temporary place with brighter lighting, which will help it quickly adapt to sunlight or bright artificial lighting.
