Guys, tomatoes are just as simple as marijuana.

All you have to do is make sure you cut a growth tip is all. In tomatoes these are generally called "suckers". They grow off the main stem(s) at nodes. Just slice one off and root it. You can also root the end of the vine but cutting that can halt all future growth.

The thing that confuses many people is the leaves of the tomato are a compound leaf - what looks like several leaves is actually just one. You follow the leaf stem off the main branch and there will be small leaves on each side and one on the tip. That whole thing is just one leaf and you're not likely to see any success rooting that.

Look for the curled new growth - that's where you can start a clone from. Let that get reasonably sized and clone it.


If you have trouble, try a rooting gel. I've been using Advanced Nutrients new stuff, Juicy Roots, with literally 100% success.

thats a badass tomatoe in your pic.

Yeah, I "borrowed" the pic from the internet. My tomatoes usually end up tasting a lot better than they look, but I'm getting better all the time so I'm hoping to get some nice pics of my own soon.

yea i would try cutting off a good 5-6 tall stem near the top or upper middle of the plant just like marijuana. it should clone just fine. if u want easy to clone plants get succulents. they practically clone themselves. and they look cool

Yup, and you can clone from the main tip or the suckers. If your tomato is an indeterminate, which has no genetic "off" switch for the growth of a vine, you'll actually want to chop off the main tip if you don't want it to just keep growing and growing.

Determinate tomatoes grow like a bush. They hold themselves upright and grow until they reach a certain size/height and then switch off. After they've borne all the fruit that they start, they're done. Indeterminates grow long vines with suckers that can also become long vines and they only stop growing and bearing fruit when the weather changes to prevent it.

In nature the indeterminates grow across the ground and can cover massive areas. They'll also put down roots all along the vines wherever the stem touches the ground enough. In gardens most people support the vines with terraces and such to keep the fruit up off the ground. It's healthier for the plant, too.

I accidently broke one of tomato plants branches off at work. I took it and put it in coffee mug of water. It was what was available! I was going to bring it home and put it in the cloner but I kept forgetting (stoner move). It sat on my desk for about three days. I pulled it out of the cloudy mug of water and was surprised to see roots sticking out the sides. Took it home put it in the cloner and in two days it had a nice root ball so I planted it. It is vegging now with the rest of the ladies in the room.
