I have a CLONING question???????

rigormortis · #1 (**permalink**) 09-07-2008, 03:18 PM

can you clone a flowering plant? and can it go back to veg state after it started flowering? I just want to know if any one has done this before or if anyone knows if you can clone a flowering plant?

Thanx

I have only ever cloned plants in the vegging stage - when after sexing (see my link) I have found I am short of females- it is the quickest way to make the numbers up.

It really depends how far into flowering you're talking about. If you have big fat buds on all your branches I'd say it was too late. If your plant is starting to put out pistles and has buds starting at the tips of the branches you can probably root cuttings and then revegetate them.

Take as tender green growth as you can find. I'd let them root under the same light conditions until you see new growth before stressing them with 18/6 or 24 hr. light to reveg.

using flowering clones is a good idea. after around day 21 isn't a great idea, although it'll work. it just takes a loooooong time for them to revert to veg. flowering clones are very branchy, and great for scrogs.

I have never cloned before but I'm very interested in knowledge of this. I have little information but it would make sense to be able to revert them back to veg. You have to first find the sex which would be during this flowering process. Then to keep a mother alive and not flower you would have to keep her in veg state.

Ok well I just got some clones from my cousin that he accidently broke the main stalk on, it was a huge plant prob 5-6 foot tall that he was flowering he doesn't keep good records of his plants so i don't know how long its been flowering for but if i had to geuss its maybe 2 weeks in at the most... I've never cloned a flowering plant before so i was sceptical, but we'll see how it goes and i'll post pics if it turns out good....
I started the clones last night at about 5am (sunday) and I woke up and most of em looked pretty droopy I hope it works out good, they stink somthin fierce. he claims that they're 'strawberry cough' but like I said he doesn't keep good records but i know its a good strain cuz he only orders his seeds he don't label em' tho (dummie)

if anyone else thinks these clones will or wont work I'd like to hear..

THANX everyone

A lil update it seems to be goin' well so far it looks like i might lose 2 or 3 of em but it looks like atleast 3 will make it but still a lil early to start "counting eggs"

you can clone a plant up until the day you chop it, keep in mind the closer it is to being done, the longer it will take it to RE veg

Stevo_2870 · #10 (**permalink**) 09-12-2008, 03:07 PM

just wondering how long it takes for the roots to start showing once you put them in the medium?

Will it bother them to be put into 24/7 light?

About 7 - 10 days, really depends on when you clip them.

doindia · #12 (**permalink**) 09-12-2008, 11:30 PM

24/7 light is what you need for a clone. it can take anywhere from a week to a month for some

I have a Bubble Kush mother plant who started showing very small buds and I took about 30 clones from it and i have about 22 that are rooted and now in soil waiting to grow up.

I used Rock Wool and Clonex... I soaked the Rockwool in 5.5 PH'ed water and then snipped each clone, dipped it in clonex and then put them in a humidity dome...

I sprayed/misted water on the leaves every day before and after work (9AM & 9PM) and 2 weeks later, they all rooted well.

One thing I did learn is that once you soak the Rockwool, squeeze out some of the water before putting clones into them. I had some of the clones "ROT" and the clone's main branch/stem going into the Rockwool swelled up... and from what I was told @ the Hydro store... that's bad for the clones.

Just what I learned from my first time Cloning...

It's pretty easy and pretty fun!

YES, you can clone a plant during flowering, but since it is an exact copy of the mother it will do the same thing the mother was doing when you took the cutting. So if you clone a plant during flowering your clones will start flowering immediately, although some do this it is not recommended. You are suppose to take your cutting/clones from your mother plant while it is still in the vegetative state.

Vegetative Light Cycle: 18 on/ 6 off or 24/0
Flowering Light Cycle: 12 on/ 12 off

Dude! I am having serious cloning problems. Is there a site to go to with infinite cloning detail. AK 47 a strong easy plant to grow, but cloning a mystery. My tent and nursery flat covered and a crack at bottom as well as holes in dome open. Temp. 23 deg celsius and humidity 50%.Misting several times a day.
