Stop cutting your clone stems at a 45! There's a better way to get a white beard growing.

Well I should hope so! That's a HUGE point of aseptic technique; to stop transfer from non sterile human hands to the subject being worked on: literally the point of it, a terrible one executed in a Tijuana Notell bathroom should prove more aseptic than a surgeons fingernails. But I wasn't making any cuts that day, just money. So you just laid a magnificent turd of an ad hominem, even your death rattle is weak AF

Yeah we can tell you we’re making mad bankroll that day from 2 stock cropped pics you more than likely stole off the internet.

I'll cut my clones at any angle I want and they'll all still root. I can use scissors, snippers, fingernail clippers, my fingernails, or just break it off and it will still root. I can use soil, coco, peat, perlite, or a cup of water and they'll still root.

All these complicated methods to get to the same result which is a rooted clone. I'll keep it simple and end up at the same place.

People have been cloning plants for centuries without any of these special cannabis techniques. Just as with starting a seed many cannabis growers make things much more complicated than necessary.

It's certainly easy to overcomplicate things, especially with Broscientists always willing to be so helpful. The easiest most reliable way is about as simple as you can get, just place your cuttings in a glass of water, and wait until you see root growth. Some strains just simply don't clone well, no matter what technique you use, and if the donor plant isn't healthy, it's definitely going to be a crapshoot

Clone wounds without callus not given the time to heal, leads to many failures in the future for that plant. All stem from the wounds inflicted during cloning. Anybody on that callus tech? Kinda new to cannabis but not new to horticulture. Wonder if slownickel is here on rollitup? Im new here so i dunno. Wanna up your clone game gotta learn about how to callus off your clones.

I'm still waiting for one of your 45 4lifers to put up a pic of a clone making use of all that extra rooting surface a 45 degree cut offers. At spawn mind you, not a spaghetti ball after a week in propagation.

If I'm already getting 99% and above success rate and have for years there isn't much I can do to up my game. I've been cloning successfully for decades just by cutting a clone at any angle and sticking it in growing media or a cup of water. I don't need to worry about "callus tech". Why do so many cannabis growers make a simple task seem like a mission to mars?

I've tossed trim in my compost pile and had plants root and start growing.

Cannabis growers always take a simple process, overthink it and then end up with something like this.

Sweet purple stems, and a very sick looking mother plant behind.

Congrats

What in the actual fuck are you on dude? That's not a mother plant, that's a fan leaf rerun. But good job avoiding that fantastic root assembly. I'm just gonna call you Captain ASSumption. Seems to be your only attack method

I found that when the mothers start getting old, like 8 months to a year, they start to produce weaker clones. I noticed that they root bind so bad in 5 gallon buckets and its hard to keep them from out growing everything. I find that clones from a middle aged mother that is healthy and no signs of weird yellowing, crispy ends, etc does a lot better at rooting. I start to notice clone failures at around 6 to 7 months starting to root bind mothers. It's best to keep at least 1 clone to start mothers over so you don't end up with one of many cloning failures you will run into when you first start. I take the old mothers and transplant them into larger buckets and flower them out. They have always produced very little quality bud when they get old.

Thats stands for all life, I breed performance dogs and they always produce better in their early prime years than they do when they are old, its the vitality of the breeders that produce stronger more vigorous offspring.

Last pull of clones I broke my mold so to speak and tested a theory that involved balancing root propagation in my cuts. I used scissors that cut diminishing concentric circles applying equal pressure 360 degrees around the stem. That's really fancy talk for the scissors I got at pet smart to cut the dogs nails; just gave them a razor clean edge. Any who, i cut them straight across, then gave a light scrape and another cut. The second cut is just enough to crimp through the bark into the tissue below. The result iwas better than expected as evidenced by the images. All cuts had a well developed beard and the roots shot out in a evenly spaced array around the bottom of the stem with a second ring of roots starting above it at the second cut. These cuts are much more vigorous than the others done at a 45 and are hardening off faster as well.

Can you post a video of this or someone about the second cut. I've had issues with clones since day 1 which was like 3000 days ago smh.
