ill tell ya what rather then attack ya ill give you a chance to prove it.
all you have to do is show us and we will all be happier.

The leaf got to certain sizes then seem to die off after a few weeks. but Im intersted to see a single leaf with no nodes start new growth from a non growth point so Ill watch with the rest but if a week goes by and no pictures show up Imma chime back in.Imma doubter but willing to be shown

if you are not all in i am allready worried LOL

Sure looks odd

5.5 in net pot bottoms, bio bizz coco, house and garden coco nutes 1/4 strength plus roots ecelurator, time tested heating pad, rootech hormone, 100 watt MH , misted with very light folitech and penatrator mix.

Made cuts at various locations, wasn't sure where along the vein to cut.

you know i have been reading this thread and i have to say Thank you!
you went and did it haahah

finally someone quits fucking around and either proves this or disproves it!

I thought we had already decided this "myth" was "busted"
My Clone From Leaf Experiment

no, it isnt busted.

even given the method he described (which is shaky at best) it is 'possibly' possible.

in a week? hell no. that part is definitely busted.

that tidbit, along with the titles of his supposed degrees ("advanced botanical studies"? its botany or plant biology, that is the most made up degree i've ever heard)

anyways, this guy seems like a real tool. I'm not going to mention where I've studied, but I did recently achieve my bachelors in plant biology, and have been doing plant transformations and tissue culture for the past two years.

many cells in a plant are totipotent, meaning that under THE RIGHT CONDITIONS they are technically capable of reproducing an entire new plant, including embryonic tissue (an important distinction he didnt mention)

this guy sounds like a fucking retard to be honest, giving a bad name to actual botanists who might want to come share the shit we've filled our heads with over the past 4 (ok fine, four and a half) years.

anyways...i'm thinking of ways to do this myself. I wish i'd grabbed some hormones from the school lab before leaving, I just looked up 'trans zeatin riboside', and the shit is like 600 bucks/gram. Just laying the leaves down on wet soil is...more than a longshot, if you're not supplementing with the right hormones at the right time you really dont have much chance of pulling this off.

I was reading and reading, finally I decided to go to end of thread.WOW, lol. I was really hoping to see the the method detailed and some pics by this time.I have successfully rooted leaves several times and had same results as others, leaf survived for quite a while but no new plant growth.It has even happened accidentally in the clone trays when a leaf has ended up on media.After 1st time I tried ensuring the leaf was laying on soil as I propagate my begonias that way. They just rotted.It's been a fun read anyway.Just thought I'd throw my personal experience two cents worth in.
