Hey cateract, best you don't have a look at the thread tags then :lol: fucking grass.

UKRG, no need for hormones, people have been cloning for year and years prior to the availability of homrones and suhc, i often just shove the thing in some coco or soil, shove a pint glass over the top and bingo, it's my opiion that hormones and suhc are not a requirement, they just speed things up, nothing more.

You can cut ANY branch :) and doesn't matter if it's flowering, once it roots out (a clone taken from a flowerin plant in my experience will root a lot faster) it will then just reveg if you put under propper lighting and bam :)

cloning is piss easy, so long as you keep your humidity up it's hard to go wrong, hell, first clones i ever got were my exo cheese and that was before i even had a grow under my belt and they di just great even without humidity domes :) ust sat em in their peat pellets ontop of the soil of some pots with seedlings in :)

I believe you actually can root out a fan leaf :D

As to the angle of cutting, i just chop mine off anyold how with some scissors, and then just use an old stanley blade and cut at a roughly 45 degree angle to make it pointy, and then slice up the middle of the stem about 1cm if that makes sense. As to humifdity, i often just stick an upturned pintglass over the top and make a small hole in the soil so that air can get in and out. I'll draw you a shiny happy picture in the mornig if i'm not making sense :D

You can technically clone from the stem of a leaf, seen it done in floating water but not with an mj plant (so dont quote me on that for us). One good tip I have always found handy is to disturb the cells that will be below ur medium, best way I have found is to slit the stem in 2 and use the reverse of the scaple blade and "rough up" the part that will be in the medium.

As for humidity I used a £9 propergation tank from B&Q, I know its normally frowned upon but I had sitting water in the bottom of it and never failed to root a clone. Just kept the medium moist and under 24hr light

IC3, if you want to make a natural and organic rooting hormone, go out and find a willow tree, cut some branch off (preferably newer growth - and it needs to be alive). Steep in hot water fro 20 minutes and then leave overnight. The following day remove all the material and your liquid is a natural rooting tea. Dip clone in that before planting. Use to feed clones as well (use equal parts of water though. Don't keep for too long as it goes a bit rank after a month. Willow bark contains loads of auxins which is the hormone used for plant growth. This is also what is contained in the shop bought products (auxins).

Oh, and you can also root a cutting in a shot glass in a shaded corner. I have one going the now actually, lol. It's just showing stubs for the start of roots:)

ok then tomorrow il post some better pics and u can tell wer to cut


DST willow tree? really? obvioulsy uve not red the posts on wat its like wer i like willows ......not CHACE

i was thinking if getting a small pot,taking the cutting and stikking it into the medium in the cum and putting a upside down pop bottle on top,,,and then have the light on constantly il try one at first il use a lower branch

does the split up the middle and roughlt the endges work anyone?

i also herd of taking a glass fill half way with water clingy on top with small hole and sit the clone stalk thru the hole into the water and thats it until u see roots growing out then u pot

Seriously, it wil take a while longer, but you can get cuttings to root in a glass jar. It just takes ages. Just make sure you don't put them in the direct sun. In fact mine is on my bookshelf (my shot glass dog cut experiemnt, lol).

And if there is a park anywhere near you with water, there will be a willow tree.

The idea is to maximize the amount of cells available to sprout roots, so when you cut at an angle and split the stem you are increasing the surface area available for the roots to start sprouting from
