Question re: CLONES, CUTTINGS

    Hi Grasscity -
    First time grower, backyard enthusiast. I took a cutting from one my plants. Actually, I was just doing a little a light pruning and, on a whim, cleaned one up and stuck it into a cup formerly containing a struggling seedling.

    This plant had already been in flower for around a week. I wasn't expecting anything but after 2 days it looks like there are new preflowers on one side (see first pic) and even little leaf buds on the other (see final two pics). I am thinking that if there is actual new vegetation, that would mean the cutting has rooted.

    But I am greener than the cutting so please tell me what you think.

    And here is the question: It is mid August. Can I bring this thing outside? Will it need a few hours of artificial light at dusk, like the seedlings I started late? THANKS!

    you need to understand the need for info on the Cambium

    its no biggy if you want roots on that

    she needs to be in veg with a damp plastic bag keeping the humidity hi

    good luck

    Clones have no roots so they need a 100% humidity environment to survive.
    It'll take anywhere from 10 to 30 days for it to root.
    The best cuts are from solidly in veg plants.
    Even a week in flower affects how well they strike (root)
    The deeper into flower I take the more likely they are to fail. Take more if you really want a good attempt. 3 is the minimum for me.

    Sucks to discard but...

    Rooted just in time to be discarded as the adults were male.
