DUDE. Itslikegrowingaweed. your almost TOO fake-philosophical for me to handle. these people are all trying to tell you the cheapest easiest way to make what you want to happen, happen faster, and your obviously so broke and can't admit it that your pulling this shit about losing the "ability to the product" holy shit dude you can spend 10 bucks on gel, 10 bucks on some rookwool and get a 5 dollar 23 watt CFL bulb that costs NOTHING to run, put that shit 2 inches above your clone, MIST that bitch and wait!! you ask for advice and then when you don't get answers like "hey man, fuck the cloner, and the products, just sick it in the ground and pray" you get pissed off! dont go to a forum asking for help if you wont even accept the help for what it is: honest, well-intentioned advice. As many have said, good luck with that.

This is the most accurate cloning video that I know of anywhere. If you can't clone after following these simple directions, then something is seriously wrong.

I didn't use the kelp but only the hydrogen peroxide and B-1. A sharp CLEAN blade of some sort and HEAT are the two things you can't go without, along with lights, dome, additional tray, temp and humidity guage, spray bottle, rooting powder or gel, and rapid rooters. I prefer these over rockwool cubes since they are round and easier to get out and stay moister.

I also dump a bit of rootone powder form down in the hole and mix up some water with some rootone and use this to moisten the rapid rooters for the first time or two directly in the hole. Never can have enough.

As far as the cost you can do all of this under $50 including the pad, flouro lights, etc.... You'd probably pay that for an eighth, so see it from the bright side. $50 can possibly give you @ 50 SEXED FEMALE clones. Here is the link.

The day after I started this thread (go figure), roots appeared. Today is a week later, and 4 weeks since I cut it. There is new growth on top, and the roots are really taking off now, so in the dirt she goes.
So for the record...You CAN clone a small branch segment, with only one leaf.
You DON"T have to spend money to do so. You WILL be ridiculed for not shopping your way out of a jam. You CAN appreciate advice without actually taking it. And unlike INSANEBUDS you can't just SAY that you're "well intentioned". You actually have to BE "well intentioned". I gaurantee that not one person on this entire planet would say that your post was "well intentioned" Mr. INSANEBUDS

I beg to differ.....please update when 2 months from now....I would really like to see the growth. have a good day
I will update. I'm here to learn. Not to hate. Not to TRY to feel good about myself. Not to show off. Not to win or lose.
Bad advice was given and identified. Good advice was given and accredited. Any intelligent person who reads this thread surely knows the difference. I stand by every word I said in here. And when I wish someone a good day I mean it.

hahaha, so i've been taking clones the past few wks and putting them in some glasses with clonex rooting solution and water i'm hoping its' going to work. I should be cause i just had a clone root that was only 1 inch long.

theres your problem that isnt a cutting thats a leave.....u cannot clone a leave......what i would do is get a cutting that looks like its growing a new set of leaves.......then cut it at a 45 degree angle then stick it in some dort not a cup of water.....also take it out of that 2gallon pot and let it breath a lil......dont use a pot cover for a humadome actually if u can constrict some toothpics or some stick together with some saran wrap and make a cheap ass humadome...... then depending on what you have for a light a florecent is the best....i think you might have it in a window get light on ut 24/7 not 18 all day light all day humidity and only spray it down once a day not several.....let me know how you do....i hope i helped....gl....

Thanks luielugatz but its NOT a leaf lol. If you had read the thread......
For those just getting on board now. I attempted (successfully) to clone a branch segment that, yes, only had one leaf on it. The growing tip itself was cut in an earlier unsuccessful attempt, and i did not want to cut off another (productive) tip. This is what I mean by branch "segment". This is from the GrowFAQ (section on cloning). Which by the way I must say that its obvious to me that few people here at RIU including the more experienced growers have actually read the GrowFAQ.
Here it is > https://www.rollitup.org/view.php?pg=faq&cmd=article&id=193
And here is my clone today. This is I think 9 days after transplant to soil. Its growing very well thank you very much.

Because its a segment it's like it's topped and now has 2 tips growing.
I'd like to descibe exactly how I transplanted it to soil.
1st i put some of my regular soil mix in the pot. Then I put a cup in the middle and filled the pot with soil. Then i removed the cup exposing a cavity in the middle. You can just see this in the pictures i posted previously. I then held the clone with its roots dangleing into the cavity and filled the hole with New ERA potting soil (which i may as well tell you is my secret weapon when it come indoor growing) Its a mix of 1/3 peatmoss, 1/3 vermiculite, 1/3 perlite, and just enough organic material to call it soil lol. I soaked the whole thing good, and have not watered it again since. The pot is still a little heavy so I'll wait to water again untill its lighter. A few more days I suppose. Oh and its under a cfl 18/6.
So there you have it. Total cost to clone= $4.87 for cloning powder. And again I will say thank you very much to those that helped, AND those who didn't but tried. :joint::peace:

hi :) that IS how I make clones.......cut a 20" branch and segment it to about 8-15 clones..... it is not only found in RIU's FAQ section but it is found practically anywhere anyone clones...its common practice good day

hey guys, somebody asked this question a couple pages ago but i didn't really see an answer, but maybe i got distracted...

Can you clone a flowering plant? Will that make the clone automatically flower early ?

will revegging affect overall yield, or cause hermies?

the plants have been flowering probably for a week tops ;/ yesterday was the first day i noticed they had started to flower...

Is your plant flowering 12/12 or just showing pre-flowers?
Yes you can clone a flowering plant, but it will continue to flower unless you get it back under 24/0 light. Re-vegging a flowering clone will be more difficult the longer the plant has been flowering. if its only been a week thats not very long and you should be fine. Some strains will revert back to veg better than others.
Re-vegging wont affect yeild lol because vegging plants dont yeild anything. Hermies are always a stress or three away I guess. Good luck!

I'm not really sure how long it has been flowering ;\ it just looks like it is starting to grow little flowers on all the growth tips... one of them looks like it hasn't started, though.

the power went off and my timer got messed up a bit.

they're probably two months or so old maybe longer.

are there any pictures of what flowers should look like at each week?
