yeah on tomatoes, cannabis is a little more finicky about being cloned from my experience, tomatoes will root in a cup on a window sill canni needs some air like a bubbler or aquaponics or some rooting hormone and soil

MJ will root in water on a windowsill, just takes longer

When i need to clone a big fat woody stalk i use the water method , no air stone pumps or bubbler just a stalk in a pitcher of water .

Usually takes about 2 weeks for me .

You can speed it up a tad by adding a few drops of chlorine bleach to the water, it causes calluses faster, 10 drops to a gallon is the ratio

No shit that's awesome , thank you for the tip , it'll be easy for me to use the exact ratio of bleach seeing that i use a 1 gallon pitcher when i clone in water .

Thanks again for the tip , i'll use it the next time i gotta chop big ole branches .

It works quite well. I learned it from a book by Robert Connell Clark Cannabis Cultivation. He also gives a recipe for cloning solution that works as well. I have rooted some of my feminized strains in spring water and bottled drinking water. They love the shit. The fembots were my strains not bought. I observed that many strains I had in flower in the greenhouse also rooted in spring water. I printed the book for free off of the net ten years ago. It is a good read that every grower should read. Never cut clones out of water on second cut! The success changes quite a bit, at in my observation and experience. Picky bitches that are hard to root may like this remedy!

To think I've thrown away many a branch that had accidents and broken off the plant BECAUSE I thought they would never root. Bleach drops are awesome to know as well. Even the Great Panhead didn't know that! See, we can all still learn new tricks, lol!!!

I used to keep a mason jar around with water and an airstone. If something broke off I'd throw it in, if it rooted ,which they almost always did, I'd throw it in dirt. Just change the water out every other day. I did this with all my indoor gardening, herbs, tomato, decorative,etc, almost always worked..I even cloned two fig branches this way.
