can i take a clone?

wedo · Nov 5, 2009

so i was wondering if i can top/prune my plant or if its 2 late? it is showing sum pistells here and there but very few.

i also wanted to know if i could take a clone from my plant and prune it .

here are some pix and yes the branches are still bendable as u can see in the pic.

Oooooook, one of the questions of ages here. Can i clone while its flowering. Well i wondered that as well and ready many posts stating its just not doable. Now im not sure if it technically is lol or if its smart to, but i have successfully clones a flowering plant. Took 6 clones from it after about 3 weeks after being sexed, and all went well. Now dont get me wrong, it takes longer and more of a stress lvl on them, but mine all eventually took root.

you want to keep the stress down during flowering to avoid hermis, so if you were going to take a few clones id do it asap and very gently and pray for the best

Yes, clone it.

For best results take cuttings from branches that show no pistils.

You have a narrow window before full flowering begins in earnest so do it ASAP like KaleoXxX stated.

Good luck and good growing.

yo weedo, i figure ill answer your questions from my comment box here

"kaleo san wats this i hear about flushing out my soil 1 week before i end flowering? please sensai explain"

you def want to flush all of the nutrients out of the soil before you harvest. i can tell by the taste when buds havent been properly flushed dried trimed(leafy budz) and cured. when flushing you want to just give the plant large amouts of water, 3x the pot size i think. ill do a little research on the faq

"oh and yes wat do you think of the paper clip training technique ? its wat im thinking of doing for my next grow"

my only concern with a paperclip training techniqe is that when the plants stem grows the paperclip might "strangle" the plant some. if you pay attention to how thick the stems being pulled down get, this method should work for you

thanx kaleo

KaleoXxX · Nov 5, 2009

have you successfully cloned before? and how much room for plants do you have, assuming they all root?

i guess id say between 3-5?

wedo · Nov 5, 2009

yea i did i took 1 clone i left in a cup of water till roots came out den i put it in the soil and waterd and then i solled the plant for 25 . i just made a growbox fro the clones out of things i have around the house would u like to see a pic? and i have plenty of space just tell me wat would be best for my plant

KaleoXxX · Nov 5, 2009

sure ill check out the clone cab

in the best interest of the plant, id only take 3 clones, or less, then, since its best to keep stress at a min

sumthing i did when i was blasted and buzzed

KaleoXxX · Nov 5, 2009

looks good for a temporary grow space. if you leave the plants in there longer than the rooting/clone phase youll need more light for sure, but thats down the road.

more immediately, do you have a way to keep or make it humid in there? clones like humidity, not too much, because ive seen clones shrivel up when taken out of the dome because it was WAY too humid, like 100%

that's not the lamp i intend to use. im going top use a 26 watt cfl bulb and yea i got a heater around there which helped out my clone i hade before . it all went well before and i dirent have the grow box .
