Clonex Mist 100ml: The Pocket Bottle for a First Tray of Cuttings
Clonex Mist comes ready to spray, with nothing to mix. The 100 ml bottle is the size for a first tray or a handful of cuttings off a single mother. It is a hormone-free blend of amino acids and mineral nutrients, made by Growth Technology and carried in the US by HydroDynamics. The nutrient load is deliberately tiny, with the label listing 0.00059% nitrate nitrogen alongside trace phosphate and potash from calcium nitrate and dipotassium phosphate. Unrooted cuttings cannot use a real feed, so the spray supports the leaves while the stem works on callus and roots. Because it contains no rooting hormone, it pairs with a dip gel rather than replacing one. HydroDynamics suggests a foliar feed on the mother two to three days before taking cuttings. After that, the bottle goes to work on the clones themselves. Shake it before each session so the contents stay even. A small bottle also stays fresher, since it gets used up before it sits on a shelf for a season.
How to Use a Foliar Spray for Clones Without Drowning Them
Used as a foliar spray for clones, it goes on lightly as soon as the tray or cloner is full. Mist again every two days for two or three applications, then stop once the clones are transplanted. Aim for a fine coat on the leaves rather than runoff, because a soaked cube or plug stays too wet for new roots. Keep the dome humid between sprays so the cuttings are not relying on the mist alone to stay turgid. Vent it a little more each day once roots show. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, and keep the cap on between uses. This size makes sense for a hobby grower cloning a few times a year. It also slips into a propagation kit without taking up shelf space. Anyone filling multiple trays every cycle will go through it quickly and should look at the 750 ml bottle or the concentrate.
