Cloning from Fan Leaves

I'm new to the site, but an old hand at growing -hydro and soil and I would just be interested to know if anybody other than me clones from fan leaves?
From what I can see everyone has theories on how old the plant should be, how many nodes up the plant etc etc. As a degree holder in botany I would just like to say forget all the hype use fan leaves and get great stocky clones with roots after 1 week!!!
When I get a camera sorted I will post pictures.

Fan leaves don't have any nodes on them...? How could you possibly clone a marijuana plant from a leaf? Tomatoes and other such plants could work, sure...but I'll be needing to see those pictures you've apparently got to believe this one.

dude i have a degree in psychology.

youre an idiot.


but anyways, how often do your fan leave stems magically stalk up and start growing weed. oh wait never. how many people have rooted a fan leaf stem. oh wait like a million. what happens when you plant a rooted fan leaf. oh wait it just sits there and looks pretty like it does when its attached to the plant.

Certain plant leaves, when cut from their stems and placed flat on top of the soil, develop roots at particular intervals along the cut veins of the leaf. Eventually, the parent leaf looks as if it has sprouted several baby plants, all growing vertically from the leaf at various points along the veins.

So these new plants shoot up from the veins of the leaf? So you could get a bunch of 'clones' from 1 leaf right? How come I have never heard of this? And where are those pictures?

I will be getting a camera in the next week or 2 and have just placed 6 fan leaves in propagator this evening so will post pics soon as. As for you not having heard of it..can't answer that one. There are many varieties that have developed ways of regenerating without pollination and seeds, begonias and geraniums for instance. Its a plants defence mechanism for times when pollination and seed reproduction isn't available due to extenuating circumstances.
