Plus, if you are cultivating cannabis for consumption, there is obviously a fantastic reward in the form of cannabis flower after the harvest is complete.
However, before you get to the point of reaping that reward, you will first have to start at step one. For those who want to speed up the process, using a cannabis clone is likely a better route. It is important for beginner cannabis cultivators to know the process behind what goes into cloning a cannabis plant so that when they get a clone, they know what they are acquiring.
The first step in the cannabis cloning process is to locate a healthy parent plant. If you do not have one in your possession, you will need to find a kind friend who does. Be advised that you should only take clones from a mother plant that is in the vegetative or veg stage , not the flowering stage. The next step is to find a branch on the cannabis plant that is suitable for cloning.
Specifically, you will want to look for a branch that has new growth with at least a few sub-branches coming off of it. You do not want to cut a branch that is too big and established because it will likely not become a rooted clone. Conversely, you do not want to cut a tiny branch because you want the eventual rooted clone to be strong enough to become a large, healthy plant.
Look for a branch segment that is inches long. From there, cut the base of the clone at a 45 degree angle.
The next step, which should immediately follow the initial 45 degree angle cutting, is to dip the base of the clone in a rooting hormone. Rooting hormones can come in many forms including a cloning gel, a rooting powder, or a watery mixture.

Growing New Member. Once I got two clones for free from the dispensery. I got them for free because the person who brought them in cloned them while they were flowering. I put them under my T5 with my other clones under light and the plant did not revert back to vegging.
It just sat there not growing for weeks. Finally I took them outside and put them in my greenhouse for a week. That reverted them back to veg and I vegged them for a month before reflowering them. I killed 1 becasuse it was so ugly and such a runt but 1 is still alive and budding tiny little buds.
I kept it just to see what the end result would be. It is flowering and producing resin bud the buds look like mutants. The plant is growing very strange because a situation like this would almost never happen normally in nature. I should have just put the little plant under from the beginning but I had no idea. Very little bud grew on it. A lot of 1 leafs whatever those are called and all around revegging is a waste of time imho unless you do it outdoors.
Otherwise you're just wasting electricity. If you take a clone of a flowering plant don't waste your time trying to reveg it to get it bigger. Just put it under from the beginning even if the clone is only 4 or 5 inches tall. You will get more bud that way than if you try to revert it back to vegging and then reflowering it.

Have cloned 's of flowering cuts. Some r very slow some not depends on the strain an how long into flower they r. My thoughts an experiences. All stay safe. Godspeed, DnR. Depending on how long into flower they r usually depends on how long of recovering time they have and also different strains act differently.
But my experiences have been good after i grew patience. Im afraid Im way late into flowering Generally they just get increasingly harder to clone as flowering progresses. Urdedpal New Member. You can clone but its stessful and takes the cutting longer to take root.
I just don't recommend it because of the stress itcauses the plant. It does effect yeild. BlazinNonStop42 New Member. I think I'm gonna do clone on from mine, I've i was thinking the same q? Thanks for the info Take it to the HeaD. I just took two small cuttings from lowest branches of my Grape Ape plant. Plant is 4 weeks into flower. I did this as an experiment. I used clonex to seal up cut ends and placed them into rock wool cubes.
Clones are in a Humidity dome with heating mat below. I am also experimenting with a light Superthrive solution for watering. I have used Superthrive before and I can tell you this is the Magical Mystery liquid.
It has saved a lot of my plants in the past. Yes cloning this far into flower is a super long shot, but I wanted to try it. Will see how it goes. Its only been 11 days but I can tell ya this They are onlyin. They are under w floros. Have cloned from a mature female, just the lowest branches though, and have had no trouble getting them to take.
Had a Bubblegum clone once that I just kept doing this to and she just kept low and branchy. Hant grown yet and roots havent shown on the stem yet but it is a little swollen which means anytime now it will shoot roots. Most of the leaves are brown. But i can see some tiny tiny green shoots that will grow soon enough. I didnt treally need to keep the strain since i got over 10 seed strains and my mom plant is a better strain for me anyhow, but it smelled like wet paint and reeally potent aroma.
