SBJ Clones

what must u do to make a clone but love the setup

@Snotty217 I'm bad at explaining so this is from an AI explanation with a couple comments from me in it. Hope it helps! To make a **cannabis clone** (a genetically identical copy of a mother plant via vegetative propagation), follow these steps: ### 1. **Select a Healthy Mother Plant** - Choose a **vigorous, pest-free female plant** in the **vegetative stage** (not flowering). - Age: 2+ months old, well-established. **( I don't wait this long. )** - Look for desirable traits (yield, potency, structure). ### 2. **Prepare Tools & Materials** - **Clean, sharp blade/scalpel** (sterilized with alcohol) - **Rooting hormone** (gel or powder, e.g., Clonex) - **Rooting medium** (options below): - Rockwool cubes (pH 5.5, pre-soaked) - Rapid rooter plugs - Aero cloner (water-based) - Coco/perlite mix - **Humidity dome** or propagation tray - **Mild nutrient solution** (optional, very diluted) - **Spray bottle** with pH’d water (5.8–6.2) ### 3. **Take the Cutting** - **Timing**: Early morning (highest turgor pressure). - **Cut**: - Select a **lower branch** with 2–4 nodes. - Make a **45° angled cut** just below a node (3–6 inches long). - Immediately place cutting in water to prevent air bubbles. - **Trim**: Remove lower leaves (leave 1–2 sets at the top). Scrape lightly or split stem base (optional for better rooting). ### 4. **Apply Rooting Hormone** - Dip the cut end (1–2 cm) in **rooting gel/powder**. - Tap off excess. ### 5. **Plant the Cutting** - Insert into pre-soaked rooting medium (don’t push too deep). - Gently firm medium around stem. ### 6. **Create Ideal Environment** - **Humidity**: 80–90% (use dome; vent daily to prevent mold). - **Temperature**: 72–77°F (22–25°C). - **Light**: Low intensity 18/6 cycle, 50–100 µmol/m²/s). - **Air**: Gentle airflow (small fan, **no direct blast**). ### 7. **Maintenance (7–14 Days)** - **Mist** leaves 2–3x daily (use dome to retain moisture). - **Water**: Keep medium moist, **never soggy**. - **NO fertilizer** for first 5–7 days. - Watch for **wilting** (normal first 2 days) or **mold**. ### 8. **Transplant** - Roots visible: **7–14 days** (white roots poking out). - Harden off: Gradually reduce humidity over 2–3 days. - Transplant into soil/hydro medium. --- ### Pro Tips - **Sterility** is critical—clean everything. - Use **mild mycorrhizae** or rooting stimulants (e.g., Great White). - Label clones with mother plant name/date. - Success rate: 80–95% with good technique. **Legal Note**: Only clone cannabis where it is **legally permitted** (medical/recreational laws vary by region).

Had to make new comment to answer.

thanks for the tip/help will try it

You're welcome

I run all my equipment outside the tent and have full lighting ( tent size ) helps. Ac infinity has good little heaters.

Unfortunately my finances dont allow me to purchase a controlled heater. If I could I would definitely have all the new growing hardware.

Looking good Big Hoss

Thank you

Ok that looks perfectly healthy, nice!

They're filling in some. This winter growing in the basement hasn't been kind. I think I've had some slowed growth.

Frosty 😍😊😊

Wish I could've gotten them a little frostier, but it should do.
