I am new at cloning and heard of leaf cloning and out of the 6 leaves I started with 2 have wilted but the other 4 are looking fine. My question is will a PLANT actually grow from the leaf?
My grandson said he thought that the leaf would just get bigger.

trying to clone from just a leaf has problems, it CAN work with some plants, but i doubt it will work with cannabis.

since cannabis makes all it's new growth from the internodes, a solitary leaf with no internode has a long row to hoe to form a plant but if it does survive and produce a root system it will theoretically make a new plant.

you would do better to take a branch and clone that rather than trying to make the leaf sprout roots.

lemme know if it survives and grows, im curious, but i doubt youll get anything but a dead leaf.

Ok you little puke, ive been reading nothing but shit pour out of your mouth, and ullshit, so why dont you go find the crow and eat it now, im sure sometime kara will kick your ass with a failed crop, so shut your fat moronic mouth, if youre a phycologist, i woulda knocked your teeth out, cuz im a fuckin boxer, hes only trying to open people up to something new, not saying its faster, just interesting!!!!!!!!PS i know this thread is old but i hope you read it and everyone else sees whata dick youve been to this guy!!!!!!!!!!!!

im like 10% shitty that i didnt know about this method of cloning HOWEVER-

every site i googled about tissue cloning culture(3) said that you need "A very specialized laboratory is required for tissue culture. All the procedures are done in a laboratory and special ventilated cabinet that is as sterile as an operating room" and it takes 8 fuckign weeks to get a seedling from it.

surely a person with a degree in botony would know this.

chalk this up to another misinformed chob trying to spread incorrect information and try to look smart(SUPRISE)

Rediculous, I took botany as well... no degree in that area but I know plenty enough to say that this absolutely will not work. I do not know from experience as I have never been ignorant enough to try and root a leaf. I do know this, a cannabis plant can NOT and will NOT reproduce UNLESS a pistil has been pollinated by male or a hermaphrodite female (or can pollinate itself)... before you begin to argue with your "degree in botany" you should realize that a 'clone' is not a reproduction, or even a clone for that matter. When you root a cutting, you have not reproduced, but produced an extension of the mother plant... since their genetics are exact copies they are the exact same plant, whether they have separate root systems or not. Rooting is, of course, a survival mechanism and works only because there are rooting hormones throughout the plant (concentrated near the bottom of the plant). A normal cutting has everything it needs, it includes a couple fan leaves, branches/nodes and a stem, a fan leaf is nothing more than a leaf and is incapable of rooting, whether or not other plant species do it is irrelevant. The leaf will not grow bigger either, the second the fan leaf is removed form the mother plant it has already begun to die. A real cutting can be cut as long as you want it, if you could magically stick a leaf on the ground and grow 6 new ones then wouldn't that happen every time a plant shed some leafs? Think about what you're saying, maybe even research it a little. I've seen people on here root entire plants (in order to grow a new root system/cure root rot) and you can root them with as little as 1 node, a node is not required to be underground at the end of the cutting but will allow her to sprout roots more quickly. LEAF CLONING DOES NOT WORK ON CANNABIS PLANTS!!

Your post is full of inconsistencies. Lol you say a plant cannot reproduce unless by seed. Then say it can be cloned.... Then you say a clone is not a clone, but say that because it is same genetics, its the exact same...

You say a leaf is incapable of rooting. This is false and has been done many times. The issue is whether or not said leaf will produce a full thriving plant. This I believe is possible, but may be difficult and may require additional hormones or such.

agreed guy has a huge line of bullshit thats entirely false, but thinks hes right on!!!!!!

he's obviously done the research, tried the method and it worked for him.. have you tried this yourself or do you just follow the herd of sheep and believe everything you read? don't be such a hypocrite.. your narrow minded ignorance is the only thing spreading disinformation. check yourself before you wreck yourself.

I have not tried cloning a leaf (i'm trying not to laugh) but I have several clones that are doing well, and you need at least 3 nodes, 1 node for the roots where you pull the leaves off and put rooting powder on (I also barely slice w/a clean razor blade, the small area below the first node )...

011.jpg005.jpg024.jpg 4 clones each from 2 Blue Rhinos beans, 1 sativa dom, and 1 indica dom..

here's there momas

I'm gonna have to stand up for ol' Rik on this one and say that his plants are the shit. Rik knows wtf is up when it comes to growing ganja, he gave me some great tips on my second grow for what og's (in particular) like and what they need when they're growing. Not only that, but he's also had a threesome with sisters.

I'm tempted to agree with you tho bc you seem like a hot chick.

i can't believe this thread is still alive, lol... i have no doubt you can root a fan leaf. but what would be the point??? if there's no growth tip, all you'll ever have is a rooted leaf! no growth tip, no bud, period!

ya i know its old but
Within the meristem areas there are stem cells ("blank" unspecialised cells). Unlike animal stem cells, plant stem cells are totipotent - meaning that they can differentiate into any type of cell. Therefore when the cutting is taken from the end of the shoot, the stem cells can differentiate into root cells or shoot cells depending on their conditions.Because the meristems (therefore the unspecialised stem cells) are only located at the tips of shoots, you cant grow a cutting from the middle of a branch.There are lateral meristems all along a plant - they are where branches grow from. Every node on a plant is, or was once, a meristem. That's why you cut just below a node to take a cutting. You could also create a meristem pretty much anywhere by applying auxin. That's why people use rooting/cutting powder, which is NAA, a synthetic auxin. But, a remarkable thing is that a root meristem can be induced anywhere n a stem by applying/inducing excess auxin whereas, a shoot meristem can only be induced at a node.
