Taking cuttings
|
|
You need to start somewhere. If you have a friend that is growing ask them if you can have some cuttings. If not you will have to start from seed the first time.
If you do have to start from seed use some Rapid Rooter plugs and just stick the plug in the net pot.
I recommend using feminised seeds. That way you won't have to pull any males and kill all the females in the process (the roots all grow together).
No matter what, eventually you will be using only cuttings so I'll start with how to take a cutting or clone as some call them.
I select a lower branch from one of my veg plants. It's way better to use a stem from the lower branches than from the top. The lower branches contain more of the hormones that it takes to start roots.
I use a razor blade to take the cutting. No special treatment here.
Moving on...
