This branch just broke off of a mother I've been butchering for a while. I'll cut it and wrap it for long term storage and post the pics. I'll keep it in the fridge and you can see for yourself.I cant find anything related to my question... but I am curious if its possible to preserve a clone for later use? maybe freese it or put it in one of those mason preserving jars? I doubt its possible.
I do it all the time.Attachments

Here is the process I use. I leave them as long as I can so I can re-cut them later. Then wrap them in a paper towel. I normally wrap ten at a time. When I put them in the fridge I tilt them up so the water stays in the bottom. This keeps the leaves from getting icky. I'm going to burp the Tupperware daily. Sometimes it works, and sometimes............ Anyway let me know how you want to see them cloned, Dirt, Rock wool, or water cloner. Full disclosure, sometimes fresh cuttings don't make it. I'll be taking lots of cuttings in the near future so you'll see it work., tis the seasonI cant find anything related to my question... but I am curious if its possible to preserve a clone for later use? maybe freese it or put it in one of those mason preserving jars?

. I was thinking during flowering get some clones snipped and do something like this, so I can shut down for a lil bit in case there's any heat, but not worry about needing seeds to restart each time. So maybe could just keep in fridge for a month or so, maybe less, till I dont feel sketched anymore lol

That's why I do it. Keep in mind though that it's numbers game. Obviously, the more you cut the more opportunity you have. I personally kept them in the fridge for over a month. Out of one hundred, about 1/3 rooted in a water cloner.Just trhow em in like that? Cool

Hmm that's not too good, don't want to have to keep 60 clones in my fridge. I want to flower mama, but I was thinking maybe just trim the buds off of her, and then re veg her and keep her, worst comes to worst I get caught with 1 plant and that I'm not too worried about. From there I could snip 100 clones off her if I needed to. I won't tho, they almost always root. Also wondering if it would give it a monstercropping effect? Or would it be just like cloning a normal plant.

She will get bushy for sure. But since it's a numbers game from the opposite direction, I would go with your re-veg idea. Her in Oregon with one card, we were only allowed 3 budding and 4 veg under a foot.You can do lots of crazy/fun stuff. That is what I do to these plants before they go out-doors.
