My Clone From Leaf Experiment

I've found that mj is a very tough plant (they don't call it weed for nothing).

On my first grow, I had a plant that was male I think, so I pulled it out the bucket, shook the soil off, got rid of all the top leaves and threw it out in the woods in the back. Well, blow me down, a couple weeks later I see this green thing in the woods, and the darn plant had started sprouting back. And this is with very little soil around the roots. I was amazed, and freaked out. I don't throw live plants in the back anymore. :)
This happened to a friend of mine last summer. The male was only 4 feet tall and one day this thing just poked his head over the fence that is 6 feet!

I think this could work and you could potentially get f shoots per leaf. When my plants get big enough i am going to try both methods and see which one i like better. My plants are still to young to cut from.
i will be watching this thread so thanks for trying it and posting pics.

Its suppose to. But i cant say that it does or doesnt. The link above says some plants this can be done with. But cannabis im not to sure. When my grow gets a little older i'll try this and let people know... but its gonna be in the upwards of a month till they mature enough to do that

lol i would try it..
but, it seems that most have either failed or gave up..

& i haven't seen anymore posts with pictures about it..
i do have much respect for the ones that tried it though..
i just want to see a successful outcome of this method..

& no one has posted for about 4 months till us & rykno

If ya have loads of plants in one room, and the leafs overlap themselfs... meaning one sits on the other, they leave water behind them on the bottom leaf..... would this mean, if they they were close together for long enough, would the leafs grow together ?

i think the biggest problem with it is was direct contact with the soil. Since even clean soil is crawling with and a perfect breeding ground for bacteria it just slowly rotted the leaves. It might work if it was in a lab under 100% sterile situations like some of the last pics showed us...but for the the majority of people that just seems like to much work. not that its impossible just too difficult. maybe someone did 1000 some leaves a few would work but thats all hearsay. I mean i still haven't seen it done exactly how woo described it.

Well this one has definitely been "BUSTED".
Thanks for playing guys :)

It's certainly not better, faster or easier than traditional cloning methods as Woo led us to believe.

bastard. wasted two hours haha
Pretty interesting thread! I wont lie i was as excited as a youngster in a candyshop when i came across this one, glad you gave it some real world testing. If i had a lab and was willing to put in the necessary time and effort i would be all over it but unfortunately that is not the case!!! :lol: Thanks for ridin out the whole experiment so now we all know!!

Yo son, did you not read the rest of this? If you want to do something like this you need to READ READ READ, spend some money on a lab kit, sterilizing equipment and a whole fuckton of other shit. Just clone the old fashioned way or breed and get seeds.

if you use tissue sample and used controlled conditions you can clone tissue but sticking a leaf in dirt? i doubt it and to be honest i don't have time do you?
