New Forum "CLONING"

Look in the growing forums, notice how 30-40% of the questions are about cloning....

yeah, as one guy put it "it really is and art form"

in my experience, which is my first time, I think they were sensitive to the Nut. solution
Im sure Im not the only one whose had to nurse yellow or brown leaves back back from the dead....lol

I second that.

It is easy once you know what you are doing.

Learning comes from expierence.

The info you gather and the pics see can only mentally prepare you.
You must go for it in the end.

Oh yeah, yup we need a clone forum, germinating forum, flowering forum, and a nutes forum.

Heres a good question tha t a friend of mine asked me.

Every time you clone, that clone, although very small, its as mature as the mother. How long or how many times can you clone before its too old? Does a plant even care how old it is? Do they get better with age or do they get weak and feeble when there old? Why also, keep a big mother plant around why not just keep cloning the clones?

When he asked it, I swear it came out like one question....

and with a cloning forum that can be answerd lol im so down. cloning is kind of inteminating to me so i dont do it but a cloning forum could change that

I would be prepared to help anyone of you clone, the cloning forum is a bit of wasted space though tbh.

u dont need a new forum for every question section, the art section we needed. cloning section just make a better up to date system of cloning in the growfaq or make a simple stick guide on cloning. it doesnt need a whole forum devoted to it

You can clone from a mother forever, or how ever long you can keep it alive.
The reason you do not want to take clones from a clone from a clone etc... is cause over time, with each new cloning the THC% goes down gradually. After about the 5th run of clones, they will be noticabley less potent.

the loss of thc is that from stress of clonig or the maturity of the plant? your clones are as old as your plant right, so why woud age matter? The dna of each plant remains the same? If I clone from a clone 2-3 times will i get potency same as seed? sorry for all the ??? but I am trying to refrain from buying seed all the time and I dont have room for big man size mothers...thanx for all the help though Pool youve been there for me a few times now..have some rep dude.....

Not sure if you understand it fully. If you clone 3-4 times from the same plant, then it's ok and potency will stay the same as the rest.

It's when you take a clone, we'll call it A. Now you grow A, and take a clone from it, B. Then you take a clone from B which is C. There's 3 clones now: A, B, and C. C is cloned from a clone of a clone, get it? Cloning from clones continuousely down the line like that is bad.

You want a mother plant(a clone) to take all your clones from.

Hope this helps explain it for ya.

P.S.- Sorry if this is hard to get, I just can't think of how to explain it any better. I'm a bit confused...
