taking cuttings from a flowering plant

[hummus]

Hey, Ron; When taking cuttings (clones) from a flowering plant, do I need to put something on the "wound" on the mother? I plan to use Olivia's cloning gel, and take the clones hydro, once they are strong enough to transplant from a hummus/vermiculite/perlite mix. What do you recommend as nutrient solution strength for developing clones during the period between cutting and transplanting into hydro system?, -and- Do I need to treat the wound on the mother?

No and about 600 ppm.
