Anytime you put a part of a plant under soil/darkness and have living growth out the other side the plants survinal mode will take over...and roots will grow from the spot ...(quicker if there is damage to the stem)
"He was HIGH a the toad he was lickin'"
...if it can't grow a root and stay alive the "Rubber Industry" would be DEAD in about 10 years ALL Rubber Trees are "Air Layered".....that is how I made my clones for years (I was like many scared to cut up my plants)....I would take a milk carton (paper 1/2 gallon)cut the top off ....then cut a slit 1/2 way down the carton on two opposite sides.....fill it up to the bottom of the slit with soil/soiless mix...take a branch at least 14" long on the side of your plant....bend it down to the carton ck to see that it will fit thru the slit and stick out the other side at least 4"-5" ......now ya' have 2 choices ya' can split the stalk( and put a stone in it ) or just cut off the branches and leaves that will be inside the carton....and fill it up with your mix ...tape above and below the stem on the sides of the carton...and water well keep it damp and in a month or so it will have its own root system and will be about a foot tall then ya' cut her loose from momma........takes forever....... looks silly as hell......but works every time
....I also started doin them right on the plant and I would be glad to explain how to do that...its harder and does not work 100% ...bout 75%
BTW: has anyone on here done a thread on grafting? you can get all silly with that once ya' master it......or growing the same plant in two different Modes Flowering 1/2 and budding 1/2 and shareing the same root system on the same plant....we can have all kinds of fun with the MJ plant ....But first lets concentrate on fillin our Bud Jar and keepin it full then we will play....I'm not goin anywhere ..I think this place is Kinda' Kewl
After 25 years of doin this I have picked up a "Cornicopia" of methods and slick tricks I was thinkin' bout writing a "Tips & Tricks" section .....but I don't want to step on anyones toes
This is not my first indoor grow........lol......that was my floros (long tubes) 1981 and then into a 150 HPS in 1983(Built as a 12 Grade shop project my rents paid for it ...lol)....Outside since 1978.....a 1/2 Oz was $12.50 and jumped to $20.00 over the summer of 77' and I could not afford that....so we started growin' and met some "Weird Vets" in the woods of Mo. and learned a thing or two....
