Any one ever do it yet with cannabis? I’m trying it out, will give me the chance to make clones of branches not little shoots.
FedS tried it. I copied him but none of the three I set up hit so a fail for me. I don't remember if his hit. I'll Flag him. @FedSmoker BNW
Theres a good chance it’ll work fine - but for what its worth its just as easy to clone a full branch as it is to clone a small top. good luck j
I was always lead to believe that the branches had to much foliage ect to clone, something to do with the humidity? Just as easy if you have a dome or clear bin available tall enough for it lol. Thanks hoping it works, I like experiments to work not fail lol.
I don’t see why it wouldn’t? They sell those little prop pods for larger plants. I guess it comes down to maybe moisture, the medium used, time? I balled up a moist handful of vermicompost out of my superworm bin, mixed with a little of my soil mix, cling wrapped it. Would like to see what fed was able to do. The branch up I was going to use a jiffy pod as they may just hold shape better.
I split a one inch Rockwool cube then hollowed it out to fit the branch and saran wrapped it on. I think if I'd started earlier it would have hit. BNW
@Q_17 read here. FYI, the method you are attempting is called “air layering”. How To Air Layer Cannabis In 7 Simple Steps - RQS Blog Air Layering: Cannabis Cloning Made Extra Easy j
Good read, thanks for that. Wasn’t sure what it was called. Not sure why I keep multiplying my plant count with out being able to flower them lol
I thought I had jiffy pucks, the foamy ones, not the ones I have that are just a mesh bag and lose moss inside. I’m going to try them either way, only thing I didn’t do the first time and after reading what j posted I might go back and re do the first one. I didn’t score it, only kind of zested it real quick. Nothing like what I do to a real cut. Think that matters?
Definitely going to, try to start soaking the pucks here in a few minutes. Side question, how long should barley take to sprout? I’m like 4 days in it stinks like liquor. I rinse and shake them daily, the first 24 hours little tails came out but never grew longer then 1/4” I think I need to restart. The popcorn took 4 days
My ham handed approach was a failure; strictly soil with no moisture seal and no abrasion to stem to expose and promote roots. This article lays out the method plainly so next attempt may be more prosperous.
I did a better job getting down a layer, with the blade. Filled the center of the puck with rooting powder, wrapped her up tight. So let’s see. Come the 20th I will open them up and see what’s the progress
Well the experiment went halfway almost right. The ball of soil, nope, I took it off the branch last night. The jiffy plug yepp I just messed up the seal and it dried out when I was gone, so let’s hope these little tiny roots take off.
