Cloner

Hey guys first off respect on this forum , best out there , Been looking for a topic on cloning , couldn't find one I needed , so thort I'd ask, what is the easiest way to clone ? When is it the right time to clone ? Just a nice easy intro tut to cloning ? Like wat I need tools and nutes wise Thanks in advance guys

many cloning tuts are around best is mine naturally ...and quick

1: take clones 1 month after veg as you flick to 12x12

2: hygiene is noobie bullshit no garden is 'clean'

3: remove honey from kitchen warm in up to soft in the micro wave

3a scrap a little green bark off with fingernail or blade

4: stick the little tree.. the size of a pen.. in the honey to 1 inch deep

5: insert to a damp rapid rooter put in a small box with plastic bag over the top

6: keep damp and warm for 10-14 days after 24 hours start removing the bag to allow to breathe

good luck

ps remember its Cambium Engineering nothing fancy is required

3.a not quite understanding u mean just cut a piece of the tree , is there a specific point on the tree i need to cut on?

cut the cutting down to look like a little tree

that important as a little 'Tree" has equal displacement between the trunk and the leaves

as many noobs into cloning will screw the clone by having either too much foliage or too little

thats why you see many pro cloners seriously trimming any fan leaves attached to the clone

My method is quite a bit different.

Take a blade and shave off a bit of the skin, then tape a black bag of moist potting soil around it still attached to the plant.

Your clones still get nutrients from the mother and continue growing while also taking root.

Less stress for your clones

Any growing medium really, just surround a portion you would bury in dirt doing normal clones.

But surround it and tape the bag loosely but firm enough to keep the growing medium inside.

Wait a week or so then snip it off below the bag and plant her.

Called air layering

a simple cloning technique that I often use when in a rush

or when just 1 or 2 are required

That's the method I used to clone trees when I was really into bonsai a million years ago.

Start with clean cutting tools. Hydrogen peroxide on a paper towel and a good wipe down of scissors or knife blade etc. is what I like to do.

Try to take a cutting that has a chance to root from several spots. For instance the end cut will grow roots, but so will nodes that have been stripped of their branches and submerged in the dirt.

I recommend checking out cloning videos. There's an interesting one where aloe is used as cloning gel and individual plastic bags (humidity domes) with a small corner cut out are placed over each clone in a beer cup. Reminds me of the days we used to use old birthday cake clear plastic covers as humidity domes. Some clones really do clone quicker / easier than others so don't get discouraged. Lots of ways to clone, you'll find the one that works for you. Good luck.

Thanks a lot everyone I will def try and clone this Canadian lemonade seeds I imported as I only got 6 left
