Will a Cutting Root Outdoors?

Hey my people.
i have a new question.
if i was to take a cutting from a mother plant ( Train wreck).
and dip the cutting into a rooting hormone and add the cutting to a medium. could i put the cutting outside, and still have it grow roots????????

the clone is in a very sunny area, in a container. and the Temp is fine, sooooo will my cutting grow roots, then start growing again.????
any tips would be sweet. thanks guys.

well thanks mogie, but i know how to clone.

i just have never tryed to make a cutting root outdoors. i am out of space in the Vegg room so im going to try and get this cutting to root outside....then just grow it outside.

Sure, you can root a cutting outdoors, but you won't have good control of the environmental conditions.

• Clones need a rather humid environment to slow down water transpiration while they don't have a root system.
• Control of the moisture in the soil/media you're trying to root the plant in is essential. It must be constantly damp but never wet or saturated.
• Warming the rootzone area speeds rooting dramatically. Cool soil outdoors will slow the process. Soil which is warmed in sunlight may get too hot or dry for proper rooting.

I'll suggest that the success rate for managing cuttings in an outdoor setting will be pretty low.

Moreover, plants raised outside will have bugs. Bring those outdoor plants into your indoor op and you have a guaranteed recipe for a pest infestation disaster. If you start it outside, it has got to stay outside.

It also occurs to me that if you have a nice, quiet, indoor op, why would you want to do any outdoor? There's just SO much that can go wrong, from theft to LEO detection.

If you're lucky enough to be out of space in your indoor op, either make it bigger or say thanks to the extra plants and compost them.

Don't be greedy. A couple extra outdoor plants may give you some extra buds but if you're busted, game over. A stealthy indoor op will serve you for many years.

thanks for the info Fuct.
it was great advice.
i just want to have an outdoor plant, something to do. im really not worried about anyone comming across this baby. the location is too pefect not to grow at.
i was thinking about growing a few outdoors, but i decided i just want one nice outdoor plant. one plant isnt going to stick out....and i have a wonderful place for it.
thanks again for the info. peace

it would do better on a kitchen counter top or window seal

hey ohiogrow

i have experimented with putting cuttings straight outdoors jus to see if it could be that easy, the above info from al b fuct is def some good stuff to take into account
if you want to ensure have one nice gal outside i would either start a clone inside or test multiple cuttings outdoors and then out of the ones that make it choose the keeper
i think putting a cutting outdoors is a good way to learn n experiment with the limits of a plant but it is still taking a big chance, i know currently in my climate they would die what region r u in.

I agree with al why risk it, if your towns like mine they have laid off sooo many cops there aren't even enough to come to accidents and stuff....yeah right. anyway always play safe indoors is safe and I hate find n bugs and catipilars on my buds...bud rot from rain outdoors is a pain.IMO

open air cloning is a good choice if u just want to do afew.. theres stuff on here about it.. essentially the clone has roots before its even cut from the main plant...snip and plant
