need help asap!!! anybody thats knows cloning

[mugen167]

i have a female plant about 3.5 weeks into flowering and i notice a small side branch with some bud sites on it that is half way brokin Q is can i clone it and save the branch??????

plus reps for any info

 

[mr.parker]

well it would help to post pics but if your clone has grown roots you most likely have a chance of the plant recovering if the branch is broke from where the branch meets the main stem of the clone you will have a new branch that will have a 99.5% chance of growing where the branch broke from the main stem but if the branch its self broke i hope youv'e wraped it in a wet paper towl and covered it in aluminum foil to try and see if the clone will try and retach the splitt if your clone is old enough to take clones off it then do the paper towl thing i just told you but put root hormone ther ang wrap it up in rock wool and aluminum foil and it will most likely grow roots if you do this make sure you shave a lil aroung the break and put the hormone on it good luck and i hope i was a help to your grow

ok its a side branch on the female main plant i havent takin the clone yet so your sayin i can take the clone with out problems??? will it stress the mother plant since its so far into flowering??

 

[mr.parker]

so you havent took the cutting yet?

 

[mr.parker]

ok so your saying the branch is broke ok i got ya how many nodes are there from the tip of the branch to the broken area

 

[mugen167]

its a bottom branch and it is broken about two inches away from the tip i have a camera but it takes shitie picks if you want i can try to take one

 

[mugen167]

ok here go the picks lol see what i mean shit quality

 

[chronik4lyfe]

just cut it and try it out, if it works then sweet, if it doesnt oh well

 

[mugen167]

yeah think i am since its already brokin will it stress the plant?? and can i keep the clone under my current lights 12/12??? im new to cloning

 

[chronik4lyfe]

probably wont stress the plant much more than it already is havin a broken limb hangin off of it, either way the plant is under a bit of stress not enough to drastically change or harm your plant tho, so go for it

 

[chronik4lyfe]

oh and id set up a couple cfls or even a 40w tbe for you clone on 24/0

 

[mugen167]

ok sweet thanks dude ill try it how do you give reps the scale isn't showing up??

 

[chronik4lyfe]

haha i dont know about the whole rep thing.. srry bud

 

[mugen167]

ok thats cool.... ok chronik i just cut the clippin of the plant then clipped it agian under running water (to freshin the cut cuase it was already closing up) then used my rooting gel and placed it in a dome and misted the doom....... so what actions should i take to make sure it takes root

 

[chronik4lyfe]

keep it covered for a couple days, then take the dome off and mist leaves once, replace cover for a couple more days then gradually introduce the plant to regular air/room temp by either cutting small holes in dome or by raising it a bit every day for 3 days, at day 7 check to see if the roots are showing, if they look healthy then its time to plant

 

[mugen167]

ok thanks for your help bra so only mist the leaves once

 

[chronik4lyfe]

yeah just once, unless they dont root till week 2, i'd wait atleast 2-3 days goin into week 2

 

[mugen167]

ok let me get this straight wait 2-3 days then mist the leaves replace dome wait 2-3 more days introduce the clone to grow room conditions check on day 7 to see if it took root... if not mist agian but leave the doom off and check again in 2-3 days

lol. geez......

clones are so incredibly simple it's sad that people are led to believe it's a difficult process.... snip, clip, dip, and stick, no misting, domes usually aren't needed, no cutting underwater or any of that bullshit. just clip (the branch), snip (the nodes), dip (in rootone), stick (in medium). make sure you medium is good and moist, and dont water it again until you have roots. you WILL have roots after two weeks, so just let them sit and be patient.

ur method doest have as high of a success rate as rooting before soil,..
