One of the most simple and popular for its plants is par cuttings.
The concept is to take a twig from a plant "donor" or "mother" and make the environment for this development because its roots and creates a new plant.
This technique allows to obtain plants with the same genetic characteristics of the mother and can then start to operate in a choice for quality, size, profitability and type of plant we're going to cultivate.
Also the use of cuttings from plants growing advanced can save time and achieve faster crop.
The types of cuttings can vary from plant to plant (depending on the kind we're going to take hardwood cuttings, semi-woody, herbaceous, leaf, root or succulent) but generally it is a twig apical leaves, stem and at least one node.
Let's see how: you first need to sterilize the material.
After that soak the substrate (eg rockwool cubes or peat tablets) with water pH and EC measured and squeeze lightly.
The temperature will remain constant at around 20-25 degrees and humidity will have a stable value around 80%. To achieve this ideal propagation environment we can help with a heating pad and a Serretta Plastic .
The cuttings should be from plants in good health and already grown, but they are the flowering phase.
The stem should be able to support the leaves without bending.

General rules
Whatever the technique, please make sure you follow some basic rules.
-Size of containers: try to cram the plants is never productive.
The container must be large enough to allow good root development. Compress or limit this growth would certainly lose some of the potential of the plant.
The root hairs are responsible for most absorption of nutrients and the consequent development of the plant.
-Drainage: The roots are very sensitive and susceptible to blight. Ensure their adequate ventilation is essential.
So make sure that ducts and trays have the necessary slope, the tubes are always free (possible use of filters) and that the drain hole systems is the lowest point possible.
Where practical, vessels used in the network to allow air circulation and encourage root growth.
It 'available in' download area the pdf article 'Introduction to the CFL and the importance of cutting high power factor in indoor cultivation', created in collaboration with Italgrow.
This is an interesting study carried out following the visit to the Chinese factory that assembles the compact lamps then distributed in Europe (from the video in that post).
The comparison with the experts and the analysis carried out on the course as standard lamps led to a series of technical improvements designed to improve the quality level of production certainly the next few years.
