yeah i think you should
keep each peice 2in long
and keep the root end down in the direction it was grown
and dont bury the whole thing keep a part of it above the soil

huh....

yuck fou... hmm peoples be tripping... my oppinion so far is maybe its possible as there are a many plant that can do this but for savoury sake aka usefulness ( i see no shipping advantages and a lot of time wasted)

sorry to say im leaning towards failure.. though i think at times and in the right conditions it may be a possibility but for a general and overaall practicallity it seems to be a failure...

good test though... i still hope it works because then it will definately gain a use (if a sacred mother is ever lost and theres no new mothers you may be able to save your ass).

come on hobbes get a few going and the technique down... then you could name it after yourself and call it hobbelling or sumething hehe.

Yeah but then there were only candles which was not a very practical way of having light.....but in this case there are already practical and successful forms of propagation so not to be compared to edison.......we need to move forward not backwards...:eyesmoke:

its been said a few times in this thread already, this is mainly for a last resort save attempt...or just for fun. nothing wrong with seeing what plants can do...

im gona do a root clone test, like the one 5hit keeps posting, after my next harvest (2-3 more weeks)

right now i have some roots in a bucket of dirt, just like the OG poster had when he said he found shoots growin from some roots he threw in the garbage. i read this thread awhile ago and had some roots in the trash so i figured why not try it. they've been in the bucket since March 6, nothing happened yet, im sure nothing will ever happen but its not hurting anything just sitting there so ill let them go for a looooooong time.

well look at it from a different point of view.
if a person was wise, they could run 4-5 buckets of clones, started at different times, creating a perpetual cloning system that produces hundreds if not thousands of clones.
this method would not require any horticulture lighting, rooting hormones, bubblers, peat pucks, and any of the other crap that is used for cloning; but most importantly... it wont take up valuable floorspace in my growroom, I have acres of property, multiple buildings on it, all with a minimum 200 amp service. there are growers out there that would drool in envy if they knew the space i had to work with, but space under my lights is very fucking limited. i like flowering plants in my room, not mothers, or running perpetual sog's which require some type of cloner to pull off. cloning from cuttings also requires that you run 2 different setups for veg and flower, unless your running a large sog, perpetual 12/12 al b fuct style.
growing is a numbers game... the less i have to spend to get my final product, the better it is for all involved. having an aero cloner, or a dwc bubbler, or ebb and flow rockwool setups or trays of peat/coco pucks is nice, it works, but the end result is that they all take up very valuable time and space, and have parts that need to be replaced periodically... the idea of having hundreds of cuttings sprout from a bucket of dirt with little/no effort as compared to traditional methods, greatly intrigues me.

but it seems not every bucket will grow a heap of shoots, let alone on a smooth, constant enough scale to continue going on perpetually.

BTW
i have already said i think it possible and am hoping thats the case didnt i... im just putting a realistic not
 
I just want to start by saying that the closed mind people are haters! Whats so wrong with JUST TRYING a new way of cloning? Just to see if it works! This hobby is all about trial and error. Im sure that not everything the haters have ever done has worked. I think root cloning would work best for people that want a big outdoor grow. I have a perpetual indoor grow cause you can only grow outside 4 months out of the year. So this method would be good (even if it takes time) for someone like myself. Start a bucket of roots in September, have shoots by Mayish and put them outside in the beginning of June. Then I could have hundreds of outdoor plants and have the space for them. And then chaaachiinngg! By September I'll have some serious poundage =) Right now I clone by taking cuttings and I have very healthy mothers with lots and lots of clones but it's also time and space consuming (and more expensive) to take as many cuttings and you'll get shoots. I don't think it's that bad of an idea! My flowering plants are near their end (within a few days) and I will DEF be trying this. I don't care how long it takes, I just wanna see if it works! It's pretty fuckin cool sounding!

"i dont think anyone is trying to reinvent the wheel
just do some cool shit"

Nicely put that 5hit!

All anyone is trying to do is try something new! Stop hating!!

Have a nicee day everyone..and GOOD LUCK TO ROOT CLONERS! bongsmilie

oi fuck face i wasnt hating i was making an assumption....

how bout reading all my previous posts... and even that aside i think hobbes is a siic cunt ( aka hes an awsome bloke) so i wouldnt hate on him even if he was asking for it lol.

so fuck you and go back home and suck on your mummies tittie. if your delicate eyes cant handle reading an all round report or something you just plain out dont want to hear then ill say it again...... go back and suck on your mummies tittie... youve at least gotta be on the bottle before ya can be a real contributing member asshole.:finger:..

hobbes knows my views on this are pro and im hoping and waiting for it to work.. ive pointed out reasons it should to haters and reasons it may not. there are many plants that do this (ie , grape vines) and cannabis may well be another.

again hobbes your an awsome bloke and i love the experiment. i cant wait untill someone gets results and starts working on a system to perfect it.. hell i have some ideas i wish i could try but circumstances keep me from contributing and experimenting.

i too love experimenting with plants hell i am always trying new shit lol. i also howver keep things realistical and say shit as i see it...

i was also away from riu for a while and was more asking for an update on things and if what ive sumed up was acurate so far... there are a lot of other aspects this can be helpful with even if it is a tedious proceedure but i was mainly pointing out the flaws that jumped out to me to begin with.

again if ya done wanna hear what i have to say dont read it. but jesters here to stay bitches, hehe fuck i love being a smartass at times...

(sorry if i went to far but i was happily medicated until i seen another fucking douch bag bitching)... i mean damn i said it a page or so ago and like i said it was a quick question/review so i could catch back up on where we are so far... just because a few things are ruled out doesnt mean all are and on the flipped side i actually still see the other doors tha this is opening if it works.

and yes as that 5hit said i agree. but to get somewhere ya have to take everything into account. i was more just pointing out some observations.. isnt that what this is supposed to be?? a compendium of thoughts and knowledge. this is just one other aspect that has to be viewed in my books.

peace out

but yeah i know what happens when you assume... same as when you make plans lol.

yeah its clever.... its white and looks like a camera moving... somewhat matrix like :).

i just got stuck looking at it again lol :eyesmoke:.
 
Wow jester you took that way too personally..that wasnt even directed to you cunt nugget. Obviously there's pros and cons to it (if it works) and I too made that point. RIU is for growers to talk to each other and help everyone out but there is def some haters in this 26 page thread. The point I was making was to stay open minded about it.


And just a little note for anyone haha...I get to harvest my girls tomorrow! Pretty excited! Ive got northern lights, ak 47, strawberry cough, and skunk! Should be quite the bountiful harvest!


Happy 420 smoking folkss! bongsmilie
