Cutting for clones

Saks500 · Sep 17, 2014

First grow. Currently in flowering.. Just wondering where be the best section to cut from. I'm figuring more towards the bottom of the plant where all the new growth is but I can be wrong. Check out the pics :bigjoint:

Personally, I don't clone in flower. Never attempted it. When I researched cloning I quickly learned that it was better done during veg and that's what I'd suggest you do, if you can. Also, the branches lower on the plant supposedly have better hormones for rooting, but I have a good success rate from top branches as well.

I only have cloned plants immediately after they show that they are girls...(or before)
As soon as I know that they are girls I take cuttings from the lower branches.
I have never attempted to root cuttings from plants as far into flowering as your pics show.
Good luck.

The only way I've had luck taking clones in flower was by air layering...g/l

I guess it won't hurt to try tho eh?

I usually cut under a node.... then scrape of the skin from above the node to the bottom fof the cut. The node is in about the middle of my grow plug... i do this so the node sprouts roots.
I dont know if thats what actually happens or not. But it seems to work.
Ive cloned in early flower... they take longer to get back to vege. Just make sure theres some big fan leaves on there.... a couple sets if u can. Just my 2 cents.

Cloning during flower Is called monster cropping....u should try it you might be surprised by the outcome...they make the best mothers. And beastly plants..

Try to take a cutting that has less flower on it. I usually take from the healthiest part of the plant, which is the tops, but in this case in flower, Id take some from the bottom. GL

This just inspired me! Haha

take it from the least flowering part , they will root just as quick
they will take a while to grow right if you take it from the more mature sections, they will end up bigger but they take a bit more work, similar to a rejuvenated plant

i like rejuv mothers too, don't tend to do this anymore
i take cuttings from seed plants at around 2-3 weeks 12/12 mostly when they are about 1ft tall or so
so i don't have to rob little seed plants of their best shoots, during veg
i label and keep them until about 6 weeks 12/12 by then i can tell which plants would be worth keeping or not , throw away the non keepers

rejuv mothers always give clones that are in heavy preflower
i find that i have had crosses that can go into full flower in as little as 4 days from 12/12
clones taken from rejuv mothers can really speed up the onset of flower, although i do not think it takes too much time off the total harvest time maybe a week

...Definitely... It's also great for any situation where you need a lot of clones or want a lot of shoots with minimal training .

That's what I was thinking. Thanks!
