You could. How long is it? And did you get the stem in water after you cut it?

Kdoe420 · Jan 23, 2010

yeah clone it!! you can clone any shoots the plant has as long as they are healthy and you do it right!!

grumpyjox · Jan 23, 2010

its got 3 nodes yeah i put it in water straight after, and i would say its really healthy, so it will work then???

thanks

sorry to hijack the thread, but can you clone a plant thats gone into flower?

I lost the mother so I'm looking to keep the strain going..

grumpyjox · Jan 23, 2010

well, what i hear is that when its in the flowering stage is goes into shock and i dont think shock is good lol

u could try with a branch i guess it wouldnt really hurt to try

If you take a cutting during the flowering you get a "flowering clone". It's mentioned in a couple threads here.

There's plenty of info on google and it produces a very bushy plant.

Yes you can. It takes a bit longer to root and once it does, it will take a while to go back into it's veg state. So its a longer process but it is possible.

grumpyjox · Jan 23, 2010

cheers

I get good root systems in as little as 7 days but it can take up to 2 weeks

You can improve your chances of success when cloning if you keep the clone in a humid environment for a week or two. This is simple enough--just plant the clone in a party cup, water it, and then cut the top of a 1 liter pepsi bottle and put it over the plant. This will keep the moisture in. Now, do not leave the bottle over the clone for too long as this technique will promote mold if done too long. Hope this helps.

oh ok thanks dude, that sounds promising! il do that now thanks man!

should i let it air out every now and then. or just leave it for the week or 2???

ManiacBrainiac · Jan 24, 2010

Yes, airing them out would be a good idea. Too much time with too much humidity will promote mold.
