You can chance it taking root, but it will probably die before that.
The gel promotes the hormones that tell the plant to develop roots.
I use Clonex. You can pick up a packet, not bottle, for $5.

where?

 

[CajunCelt]

Hydro store, nurseries in your area may carry it or a similiar cloning gel.
If not, you can grab some online.
Gotta admit I'm lucky. My hydroponic store guy gives away for free to ppl he knows.

home depot has some for $6

Funny how things happen. Just got finished doing my first clone. Used an organic rooting gel I found for 1 pound earlier today.

Any chance Dank could get ahold of some?

You can clone plants just fine without powder or gel. It just takes longer and because the plant is spending more time without a root system it is more fragile.

Quick tip:Try using regular Honey if you don't have any cloning gel/powder. It works very well.

just got some powder and tomato nutes.. so i think im set, im going to apply a SMALL amount of nutes to puffin to try and get her stronger and save her

those ak remind me of my serious 6. very nice indeed.

you can make willow water to use to helping aid the cloning process. collect young willow bark (it droops so we can collect the top of the plant, the new/young growth) and drop it in some boiling water. agitate it then use it as a cloning agent!

b.real, can you please post a detailed "how to" for a newbie like myself

Never heard of using honey. I'll try it with a few test clones.

"Willow water is a biological method to extract the rooting hormones indolebutyric acid[1] (IBA) and salicylic acid (SA), that are present in sufficient quantities in the Willow (Salix) trees to extract as a liquid that stimulates root growth."

How to Make “Willow Water”

Here is the procedure for making willow water:

1.Collect young first-year twigs and stems of any of willow (Salix spp.) species, these have green or yellow bark. Don’t use the older growth that has brown or gray bark.

2.Remove all the leaves, these are not used. Don’t waste good green material though, compost the leaves or throw them in the garden as mulch.

3.Take the twigs and cut them up into short pieces around 1" (2.5cm) long.

4.The next step is to add the water. there are several techniques to extract the natural plant rooting hormones:

a) Place the chopped willow twigs in a container and cover with boiling water, just like making tea, and allow the “tea” to stand overnight.

b) Place the chopped willow twigs in a container and cover with tap water (unheated), and let it soak for several days.

5.When finished, separate the liquid from the twigs by carefully pouring out the liquid, or pouring it through a strainer or sieve. The liquid is now ready to use for rooting cuttings. You can keep the liquid for up to two months if you put it in a jar with a tight fitting lid and keep the liquid in the refrigerator. Remember to label the jar so you remember what it is, and write down the date you brewed it up, and to aid the memory, write down the date that it should be used by, which is two months from the date it was made!

6.To use, just pour some willow water into a small jar, and place the cuttings in there like flowers in a vase, and leave them there to soak overnight for several hours so that they take up the plant rooting hormone. Then prepare them as you would when propagating any other cuttings.
The second way to use willow water is to use it to water the propagating medium in which you have placed cuttings. Watering your cuttings twice with willow water should be enough to help them root.
