i think the praticality come to play in reviving an unknown powerful strain.., or even a known stran. a lot of bagseed grower like myself dont clone past harvest , meaning if i cone its only for that grow, so once i havest that strain is dead for me, and if i smoke it and find out that that strain was killer theres no way i can bring it back untill now
and the same for namebrand strains, i here all the time about strains dieing out, or how its hard to find a true "XXX XXX" trains, if this could work, if your growing a strain that is close to extention then there is a last ditch effort to save that blood line
but dont get me wrong out side of a last min. save there is no reason for it

Could you of gotten hundreds of clones from one pot in this time though?(Not to mention using hardly any light) Because that's what were looking at

great point
if you needed like a few thousands by next year this method would be usefull and a space saver
plus if i was doing this method i too would be growing a cloneing the regular way but at the end of the year i would also have like a few thousand sprouts

Uh.... yeah........mother plant...take many cuttings at once i got a few that are pretty big......
...so hundreds is no prob if I had too but no need for that many at least not for me 
....and once your roots become plants your gonna need light.......right

the idea here (and someone correct me if im wrong) is to use the time in between seasons to get as many shoots as possible.
yeah, sure i could grow some trees in the barn and keep 4-6 8 foot monsters in constant veg, with all ther soil/hydro requirements, lighting, nutes, rootone. rockwool, the floorspace, and get 100's of cuttings.
but wouldnt it be nice if you got the same amount of cuttings/shoots without having to deal with any of that?
throw some roots in a bucket @ the end of season, come back in spring, and presto!
if you cant see the advantage to that..... your a lost cause.

apparently it would take longer than that, more like put roots in the bucket at the beginning of spring and come back at the beginning of next spring and you will have roots if your lucky
A clone is also much bigger than a little sprout and will grow much faster....
This sounds like a good idea for cheap people trying to have an expensive hobby....

It's funny because I see it the other way around
.................................................... like I said before I am into efficiency like most serious growers,root cloning is a very unpractical approach to propagation,it's more for last minute efforts to conserve a strain and maybe outdoor growers can benefit from this if they only grow outdoors,so they can wait 'till next season,keeping mother plants and cloning off them just makes more sense in my situation and most others.......

I'll chip in quick - I don't care what it's good for I just want to show that it works
The impracticalities everyone has mentioned are why I didn't use root cloning after having it work the first time.
One very promising area is auto flower cloning - we're hoping that the budded roots will have the same age as a sprout and not the age of the dead parent plant. A possible application with definite benefits.
But really all I want is to show a pic of budded roots.

The trigger may be more heat than I'm using - the budding happened before in the summer in an attic room.
I've moved most of the buckets into my flower cage to increase the heat through the day, I'm using the 3 gallon buckets as risers for the plants in 5 gallon buckets.
.
As well, I've been using Hygrozyme which is suppose to speed the degradation of dead roots. I'm going to wash all of my roots well in distilled water and re-mix with fresh Pro Mix (no Hygrozyme)

ive got 2 pots with roots in them in my flower cab... the roots are pretty new though, they were males i culled 2 weeks ago. its pretty warm, and they never got a dose of hygro.
im debating tearing up the root ball on one, and keeping it intact on the other, just for control's sake.
you have a major head start on me tho
