Whats is the best and easiest strain to clone ?
my friends have been asking for alot of clones , which strain is easy to clone and gives lots of clones every 2 to 3 weeks ?
thanks
 
This is my opinion based on personal experience.

Crazy easy to clone. And one decent mother can make a shitload of clones.
 
I have been taking clones from 2 Strawberry Cough mothers I have every 2 weeks for the past 2 months to get my perpetual grow going.
The problems I encountered were growing on the clones fast enough and of course space.
I now use a home made bubbler sitting in a heated propagator with vents open for the first week. Most have roots by that time (Clonex is the business) Then it is into 2 larger 12 pot home made bubblers, without the heated propagator for a week to get those roots really bursting out.
I then move them into 4" rockwool cubes with some clay pellets filling in the pre made holes. I find this much faster than using 1" rockwool cubes and transplanting to 4". They are in these with drippers for around 2 weeks.
After the roots are bursting through the 4" cubes, they go into their final home.
So, if you add that lot up, at any one time, I have 12 fresh cuttings, a week or less old, 12 between 1 and 3 weeks old and 12 in 4" cubes, thats 36 cuttings and a shit load of space.
4 flowering stages giving me a harvest every 2 weeks of 8 plants on an 8 week flowering cycle thats 32 plants flowering.
So, its 74 plants in total with 2 mothers, Very dodgy territory if caught!!!
Now, the good news is they usually have around 30% amber trichs by 51 days.
I can recommend Strawberry Cough as it is quite a hardy plant, resiliant, tough and a real nice smoke. Yield is average I suppose, not as much as Big Bud but a much nicer smoke and far easier to clone. I have done the same with Blue Cheese and Wonder Woman and had good results.
The secret is finding a plant you find difficult to kill, an easy to maintain hydro system and planning, planning and planning!
Good luck!
 
heavy duty fruity, it's a heavy yeilder but you'll have to pheno hunt first some of them grow to be massive and some don't want to stop stretching in flower, but when you get your keeper you'll be happy it grows rapidly and roots the same it's hardy as hell, mould resistant, and grows itself. i grew out a pack of seeds and only found 1 true keeper but for cash cropping or just a hardy reliable strain with good bag appeal and a heavy indica stone i'd recommend it. also on a side note it stinks to high heaven when flowering and is also a bit smelly in veg i thinks it's the afghan in it, i lost my mother plant due to security issues and she'll be missed
 
Best? Is that even a question?

As far as easiest to clone, if you do it right you can clone anything except autoflowers. I probably have a 99% success rate using soil and rooting hormone. I don't think that's too unusual.
 
You can clone any healthy plant with ease. No if's and's or but's about it. Flowering plants are the only exception, taking longer to root than a clone from a vegetative plant. There are greater concentrations of and newer hormones the lower on the plant you go. A cutting from a lower branch will root a bit faster than one taken from a top, but the end result is the same and you may not even see a difference at all.
 
I noticed sativa Dom strains clone faster then indicas in about a week for me. Heck you can throw a sativa in a cup off water and get roots. My og kush takes longer almost 2 weeks to get roots.

I like the clones that take longer, 2 weeks of rooting, 2 weeks of veg, all in a 18/6 PC stealth box, take more clones and put them in the PC, pop the rooted clones into the flower box. I get a harvest every four weeks. With six clones going at once, that fits in with the amount I smoke almost perfectly.
 
Once you have mastered cloneing then you will find that all cannabis plants are pretty much the same to clone,just some may need a extra few day's for the root's to show.It realy all come's down to one main factor the health of the mother plant that the clones will be taken from.The healthy mother will give you a never enless supply of clones,just make sure that you take the clone's in a way that the plant will have fresh nodes that will become your next set.I would say it not the easyest plant to clone its the method in wich way the clones are took and kept.For instance the toold requied are a sharp stanly or scalple,a humidity dome and tray pref one with vents this can make a big differance belive me a simple thing like vents,rockwool cube's or root it plugs,either root it gel or my favourite clonex.But make sure that the area wher the clones will be going is clean and no dust.Mist them two times a day for the 1 st week and 1 after that open the vents fater 2 days and leave the lid on till the 1st set of roots are seen noramly takes 7/14 days so i don't even bother checking untill about day 12 then i put them into the next size cube and once the roots show through these cubes into the medium they go.Feed nothing only water while the plants are rooting and when misting mist the inside of the lid,once the roots are through the second set of cubes then it is time to transplant i use sol so then i add a little nutes and build the nutes up over the next few week.any questions in box me tyke
