So i have a 1 month old SSH. I was wondering if I could put her in her hole outside and take clones off of her throughout the grow season? Obviously I'll stop once I think shes going to start budding. Im wondering this because instead of me buying more SSH seeds I could just clone off of her.

Sure you can...gotta wait til it gets over transplant shock and it would have to be old enough and what not....

ive taken probably 4 clones from my outdoor plants last year and id say i studied up considerably well, and am a fair enough grower, even though the plants do most of the growing lol, but i couldn't get a single one to root, although i only tried one method, im going to try soil if i decide to clone again this year, the water in the cup method i just didnt get right i guess even though it seemed straight forward enough

I have root stimulator solution that I use. I had another mother plant of ak47 and i got about 15 clones from her and all of them rooted. I just cut them at a 45 degree angle, scrape a little of the "skin" off the sides then dip them into hot water and then into the root stimulator. From there I go into some seed starter soil under a t-5 and within 2 weeks she starts growth.

ahh never heard of the skin part or the hot water i will deff try those out, i was really just half assing it and trying to save my last years strain, but yeah i see no reason why clones of out door plants would differ in any way then indoor, except that the plants were getting outdoor light which is more intense then an indoor light setup with more color spectrum to,

you can do this, I'm basically doing this right now. They spend all day outside, and go inside during the cold nights into my sun room and under artificial lights, and they go out in the morning. I only have 13 1/2 hours of light right now, so May 20th they go out at a full-time at 14 hours and temps above 55 at night. I've been cloning them so far with no problems. Clone dome has to go indoors, and when you transplant into pots from the dome, it also has to be indoors. They will wilt and die a few minutes outside of the dome when exposed to the dry wind.

Whatever outdoor clones you cut, should go back outdoors once they are repotted, they can bring pests and disease into your indoor garden. But some of my healthiest indoor cuts I've ever had came from outdoor moms. I haven't had a bad experience yet, but I rarely do it.

I took 800-1000 clones off one of my plants last year. We cut them, put them in ice water, pulled them out, cut them at a45, dipped them in clonex, stuck them in cubes and filled tray after tray. After 7 days ... Roots. It's super easy most people just keep the cubes too wet and encourage rot rather than roots.

Ive cloned over 40 times all outdoors under the natural FLORIDA sun.. Well shade of course.. And never had a single one not root for me. Usually had fully rooted clones in 5 days. Some ppl say impossible but im telling u its factual lol. Jus have to do it right. And btw i never was overly clean. I wudnt make the same cut on the stem either. Some is cu right up the middle and split the stem. Some id cut at a 45. And alllllllll of them rooted. Jus takes a little practice and patience. And ull have to keep them very close by

U dont need to do any part of the cloning process indoors.. Once they have rooted outdoors in your homeade clone dome u can jus put em in the sun for 15 min and if they arent affected at all then they r rooted and u can leave em in sun for prolly the whole day. Its just when they roots r developing on like day 4-5 for me u have to move em in the sun and back out and in the sun and back out. And the next day they will b much stronger an cud prolly survive.. Fuck bringing them indoors to just shock them upon bringin them out to the sun..

maybe it's my windy and dry climate. any tips? mine were ridiculously well rooted, but they shriveled up after a minute or less in the shade. and my sunroom is much more like a greenhouse, so I haven't had an issue with sun conditioning yet.
