Does nobody really not notice that this thread is like half a year old..?
trying to clone from just a leaf has problems, it CAN work with some plants, but i doubt it will work with cannabis.I am new at cloning and heard of leaf cloning and out of the 6 leaves I started with 2 have wilted but the other 4 are looking fine. My question is will a PLANT actually grow from the leaf?
My grandson said he thought that the leaf would just get bigger.
im like 10% shitty that i didnt know about this method of cloning HOWEVER-
every site i googled about tissue cloning culture(3) said that you need "A very specialized laboratory is required for tissue culture. All the procedures are done in a laboratory and special ventilated cabinet that is as sterile as an operating room" and it takes 8 fuckign weeks to get a seedling from it.
surely a person with a degree in botony would know this.
chalk this up to another misinformed chob trying to spread incorrect information and try to look smart(SUPRISE)
I'll save you the trouble. You can in fact make a fan leaf grow roots, but you can not make it grow nodes.its 5 years old my friend!!!!!!!, better yet i never seen the pic of a cloned fan leaf, but i never went thru the whole thread
Your post is full of inconsistencies. Lol you say a plant cannot reproduce unless by seed. Then say it can be cloned.... Then you say a clone is not a clone, but say that because it is same genetics, its the exact same...Rediculous, I took botany as well... no degree in that area but I know plenty enough to say that this absolutely will not work. I do not know from experience as I have never been ignorant enough to try and root a leaf. I do know this, a cannabis plant can NOT and will NOT reproduce UNLESS a pistil has been pollinated by male or a hermaphrodite female (or can pollinate itself)... before you begin to argue with your "degree in botany" you should realize that a 'clone' is not a reproduction, or even a clone for that matter. When you root a cutting, you have not reproduced, but produced an extension of the mother plant... since their genetics are exact copies they are the exact same plant, whether they have separate root systems or not. Rooting is, of course, a survival mechanism and works only because there are rooting hormones throughout the plant (concentrated near the bottom of the plant). A normal cutting has everything it needs, it includes a couple fan leaves, branches/nodes and a stem, a fan leaf is nothing more than a leaf and is incapable of rooting, whether or not other plant species do it is irrelevant. The leaf will not grow bigger either, the second the fan leaf is removed form the mother plant it has already begun to die. A real cutting can be cut as long as you want it, if you could magically stick a leaf on the ground and grow 6 new ones then wouldn't that happen every time a plant shed some leafs? Think about what you're saying, maybe even research it a little. I've seen people on here root entire plants (in order to grow a new root system/cure root rot) and you can root them with as little as 1 node, a node is not required to be underground at the end of the cutting but will allow her to sprout roots more quickly. LEAF CLONING DOES NOT WORK ON CANNABIS PLANTS!!

You say a leaf is incapable of rooting. This is false and has been done many times. The issue is whether or not said leaf will produce a full thriving plant. This I believe is possible, but may be difficult and may require additional hormones or such.
I have not tried cloning a leaf (i'm trying not to laugh) but I have several clones that are doing well, and you need at least 3 nodes, 1 node for the roots where you pull the leaves off and put rooting powder on (I also barely slice w/a clean razor blade, the small area below the first node )...he's obviously done the research, tried the method and it worked for him.. have you tried this yourself or do you just follow the herd of sheep and believe everything you read? don't be such a hypocrite.. your narrow minded ignorance is the only thing spreading disinformation. check yourself before you wreck yourself.

did you have to post pics of your shitty looking clones and i have to ask, do you grow with candles or do you just like very little plants
​well he is a fecking knobhead, why dump his shit pics here, they look shit 4sureEASY NOW!!!!! tut tut remember what you said about ripping on other membersLOL!!!!!!
I'm gonna have to stand up for ol' Rik on this one and say that his plants are the shit. Rik knows wtf is up when it comes to growing ganja, he gave me some great tips on my second grow for what og's (in particular) like and what they need when they're growing. Not only that, but he's also had a threesome with sisters.​well he is a fecking knobhead, why dump his shit pics here, they look shit 4sure
