ineed help clonin

Check out youtube, lots of good videos of cloning.

 

cloning is about as easy as it gets! you don't need to jump through all the hoops that most will tell you to. you don't need a rooting hormone, but i always use it. take your cuts from the lower side branches. the thicker woodier cuts are harder to root. you don't want a bunch of leaves either. just a couple internodes will do. i trim about a third of the length of those off. leave yourself a couple inches of bare stem to put into your cubes. before adding the hormone, make a 45 degree cut on the bottom part of the stem. a lot of folks make this final cut underwater, to avoid an air embolism. throw the cuts in a clone dome (not a must have, but a huge advantage to not using one.) to keep temps./humidity high. don't let the cubes dry up. i spray them daily or as needed. they sometimes require a couple sprays a day. i keep the temp. in the mid 80's, and the r/h as high as i can get it, lol. you should see roots in a week or less. to keep your temps. up a lot of folks use a heating pad with a thermostat. i use a muscle heating pad. in the past, i've actually used an electric blanket, lol....

i use oasis cubes. if you use rockwool, it's little different. they have to be prepared. ph and stuff...

 

all you do is find new growth there should be 2 leaves coming out of the top.. then the next set should be right below those.. then the 3rd set and so on.. i usually cut right in between the 3rd and 4th set of leaves depending on space between them.. always aim for about 1" below the 3rd set

use a sterile razor blade and cover the edge of the blade in cloning gel if you have it... for lube and help stimulate root growth. then i always chop the 3rd set of leaves off and cover that cut area in gel also. u then put the clone into your pre made hole in ur wet growing medium all the way down to where the 3rd set of leaves are cut off, and make sure you dont touch any cut areas.. once the clone is in the soil i use scissors to cut the second set of leaves in half.

throw them in a humidity dome and leave them in 24hr lighting for about a week then i throw them into pots and let them go =] its pretty simple, some trial and error and u'll find your most successful way of doing so. good luck

 

panda is right. go to the lower branches. also, it's good to be sterile, but i just use my everyday scissors, lol...

 

get some twigs from a willow tree (credit to storm crow for this) and soak them in water overnight. (willow has crazy rooting hormones, was just using honey until i found out about this)
use this to pre-soak the soil before putting in the clone. i still am a firm believer in dipping the cut area in a tiny bit of honey as well

 

anything really works honestly.. ive used scissors also.. i prefer razors because i can get the gel on them as i cut to prevent it from scabbing up or w.e... if the cut edges are exposed to air too long you have a little bit less chance of them living through the stress took about 2 or 3 attempts before i found a groove of getting them all to live

 

two seconds on google got this... do some research on your own from now on

Marijuana Cloning | How to Clone Female Marijuana, Cannabis, Weed and Pot Plants Indoors | Marijuana Clones

How to Clone a Cannabis Plant

Once you have a nice collection of quality marijuana seeds, the next step is of course, quality marijuana plants. In an effort to reduce your expense and time spent with male plants, we introduce "How to Clone Marijuana Plants" (female marijuana plant cloning).

When you know your plant is female and you want to continue to grow that particular weed, you can clone the cannabis plant many times over without any loss of potency. These offspring retain all the qualities of the original "mother" plant.

Your clone is also guaranteed female. Therefore, when you replant it, your resources are spent on a female species that you enjoy! No lost time, soil, nutrients, or energy. This practice also allows for a repetitious harvest throughout any time of the year. As you will find, cloning your favorite marijuana plants can be easy and save you big money. You can clone a marijuana plant many, many times from it's off-shoots.

Cloning cannabis plants or How to Clone Cannabis, should not be confused with breeding marijuana plants, these are two completely different topics. Here, we are cloning a plant to provide for the exact same female species, versus breeding similar or different plants for their 'new' offspring strains.

The cannabis plant is strong and versatile, it can be turned back to the vegetative stage once it has begun flowering and shows itself as a female.

The following process can be used to reproduce (clone) a female marijuana plant once it has already been moved to the flowering (12/12) cycle and is determined to be female. You can clearly see the female pistils in this photograph.



If we already know the plant is a female (female seeds), we simply follow the same procedure before we move the plant to flowering stage. The recovery period is shortened, (it does not have to revert back to vegetative, because it never left) and you can move this new clone in just a few weeks time.


In Proper Preparation



It is important when preparing to clone your marijuana that everything be clean. Once again, this includes you. If you don't use surgical gloves, then wash your hands and tools well with alcohol.

Remember, in essence, we are preparing for surgery - it just happens to be on a favorite plant we know and love.

Supplies; Rooting Gel, Alcohol, single edged razor blades, gloves, and the grow medium you plan on starting the clone in. Here you can see we are on a strict budget of Soloâ„¢ cups.

Remove some rooting gel from it's container using your razor blade or knife. This protects the balance gel from any contamination.

We have now chosen the female pot plant that we wish to clone and have prepared for our cloning procedure. For this example we are showing you just one, however, you would usually do multiple clones at one time.



You would think it was gold with the cost of some rooting gels, but it can go a long way.

Work hard not to contaminate your jar (drop soil over it, etc.,). We take a small amount off the cover with our razor blade and then seal our rooting gel and put it away. You will find it can last until you finish it (with proper care and minimal waste).

Once you remove some gel from the container, I do NOT recommend putting any remainder back in the jar. Use as much as you can and dispose of the balance.

Now we take our clean razor and head over to our Mother Plant where we have chosen our sprout to "cut". We want a nice clean cut at a good angle, not a straight cut. We are about 3-4 leafs in from the top of our stem.




Take your razor blade and firmly slice at an angle across the stem that we wish to clone (see cut mark). Be gentle with your clone leaves and do not touch the new cut end of the sprout.





Be careful not to touch your razor or the open cut of the stem to anything. You can accomplish an excellent cut if you use a mild slicing motion when you cut downward.

Now we are ready to prepare our clone for transplanting. We take our rooting gel, our razor, and our sprout to a clean work area.





Begin by slicing off the larger leaves that are close to the bottom of our clone sprout.

We will be promoting additional root growth from these points.

Take your rooting gel and generously apply it to the root tip and all the way up to our other cuts.



Do not be afraid to apply a generous amount of gel to your clone cuttings, it immediately protects them, and gives them what they need to re-root.

Please remember to be gentle with your little sprout as they are very sensitive and vulnerable right now.

This Northern Lights/Haze marijuana clone is now ready for it's soil and humidity dome for a few days.

Once we place it in our soil (we used our pinky to make a hole in our cup ahead of time), lightly move the soil around your clone attempting to make it straight at the same time. Do NOT press the soil too firmly, we will let the water settle the new clone and the soil.



When we have our clone squared up and in place, we water the cup generously.

This settles our soil and gives the plant a stance. We then move our new cannabis clone over to our humidity dome for a few days.

When the soil is completely wet, we spray it and place it under a 20 hour light cycle in a domed enclosure.

If you cloned a female that had already been converting to the flowering stage, it will take a number of weeks to completely turn-back this clone to it's vegetative stage.

If you cloned a female plant (from seed) that you already know will be female, then you have only a couple of weeks and that clone will be ready to go to flowering. 2-3 weeks versus 6 weeks or more to turn some plants back to vegetative around.

The concept of the mother plant comes from keeping my original Northern Lights/Haze FEMALE plant going (they can live year round). You simply continue to take clones from HER (this helps to keep the mother plant short and sweet) and you can count on them being female and the potency of the original being retained. This also allows you control your harvest a little better... good plant (garden) management.

That's going to end our Chapter on Cloning Marijuana and Cannabis plants indoors. Good luck in your garden!





Besides watering your new clone, be sure and spray it for a couple of days. It likes the moisture while it tries to re-root. Only use water at this point in the process, let the root gel do the rest.


You can begin by investing in "female marijuana seeds". While more costly, they are guaranteed female and you save literally weeks ($$) when you clone a young female marijuana plant that is still in a vegetative state, versus turning back time (so to speak).

 

of course you have to cut from the main stem, where else? cut them as close to the main as you can.

 

here is a good picture to give you an idea.. notice the leaves cut off leaving only the top pair and the second pair.. looks like this guy is cutting at about below the 4th set of leaves.. then once in the ground you cut that second pair in half and the top pair untouched

 

nice pic panda.

 

So true! I had someone give me a willow branch that was in water and very fast it began to grow roots. I planted it way bag and now its a huge tree in my backyard. Im might have to try this lil trick
