To clone or to revege??

captiankush · Oct 6, 2009

Hi all,

I have 3 girls in late flower (1 nearly ready to harvest, the other 2 are about 10-14 days from harvest) and they are showing me some really good traits.

Should I revege them or take some clones for my bubble cloner?

These girls have been outside so I am very leery of reveging because I dont want or need any indoor pest probs...I could easily delouse a clone but an entire plant AND its soil is a much more daunting task.

Thanks in advance.

Take clones..............

I understand it that re-vegetating after flowering decreases the potency of the potential clones taken off. I would vote neither; but if I had to choose, I would probably take clones versus trying to revegetate. :joint:

Thanks for the reply, I was leaning towards the clones but wanted some confirmation.

Should I treat them as normal clones even though the stem is woody..normally I use the double cut, then a quik scraping of the lower stem, dip in cloning gel then into the bubble cloner with 2 tsp of clonex liquid & RO, then PH'd to 5.8, put the dome on and I'm done?

Sounds good
I do it all the time, it just takes time to get them going again
and take a lot, the woody stems wont root sometimes

You understand it wrong. Revegging does not decrease potency at all from either the original plant or clones taken from it. Why would it? I have plants that have been revegged 4 times and they are just as potent as before.

I must have been reading an unworthy source when it was described in this forum. I have been intimately familiar with the forum for the past 9 months, and I do believe I read it somewhere. There are so many threads like this, another is going on right below this one. I can't recall exactly where I read it, but it was on this forum. Sorry
