How Do I Clone Marijuana Plants?Tutorial

CAN SOMEONE ANSWER THIS GUY'S QUESTION A FEW POSTS BACK B/C I HAVE THE SAME QUESTION, THANK YOU

my question is:

do the clones need 24/0 light regime from the 1st day to the time for placing in soil (pot) ?

or i can ask that like this:

what is the light regime from the 1st day of rockwool placing till placing them in soil ?

forexample:
1st day 2nd day 3rd day ........ till i see roots : what is the light shedule ?
after i see roots till they go in soil: what is the light shedule?

I cut clone and veg all in 18/6 light. So cut scrape dip and put ur cut in your rockwool. U can put it directly into soil from there if u want. Just dont over water your wool and soil. Ph ur water to 5.8. Get the wool damp useing the already explained a million times process or soak blah blah blah.. Just keep in mind rockwool only needs about a tablespoon of water per day and that totally sufficient enuff to root clones. Some people dont even water them after the initial presoak. Hope this helps.

Good thread this helps alot and seems pretty simple
thanks

Thanks so much, I am so new to growing its crazy!

if anyone is still having trouble with this, i found a really good guide here:

3 of my 4 clones are now showing roots after 8 days. they have been in cups of water on a heated propogator without the dome on, in indirect flourescent light for 24/0. I used a small amount of Prop-O-Gator rooting hormone and a touch of clonex, plus daily water changes. This is my first go at taking cuttings, so far so good!

Still no sign of roots on the last one, 1 of them managed to droop over and not sit in the water yesterday but it looks a bit better now. The other 2 the roots looked a touch brown but I added a couple of drops of rhizotonic and cannazym to the water and they also look better now.

I myself have gotten clones to root with just soil and a cfl (26W). I took 3 cuttings and put them into my soil (Metro Mix 360) with party cups. I just cut at an angle with a razor and plop it into my soil. I then wet the soil a bit and mist the clone and put them in a bucket with plastic wrap on top. I cut about 6 holes on the bottom of the cups and put about 1 cm of water inside the bucket. That way the roots will search for the water. I only mist for 4 days and then give them air twice a day. after a week I move the plastic warp so that an inch is letting air in so the clones get used to living without moisture. after 2 weeks I take the wrap off and put them in my veg area. after the 3rd week I transplant and thats it. I dont use hormones or nutrients. My soil is some of the best you can buy so it has everything you need. I have grown plants with just the soil and no nutrients because I was to poor to get any. I may have been lucky with a strong strain with good anti fungal properties or just that my soil is light enough to clone in. It works for me though. I have cloned 6 known strains and 4 bag seed strains from swag the brick kind. I havent lost one yet. I used to be on the grass city forums in 06 I have grown for 5 years. Im not the best but I have never lost a plant or had a sick plant. Growing is very easy for me, hope this helps someone.

Well. I liked the info you provided. Thanx for the tips. I'll keep an eye open for more.

yes I currently have several I obtained from a harvested plant

Should I wait to take clones until I harvest, or it is ok to take about 3 right before I harvest?

You guys seem to make this very complicated I just throw some dirt in an old togo container (2 rotisserie chicken containers work the best) cut a bit plant off stick in root tone and put in a hole and repeat the process for how many I want then I take one of those over the kitchen sink florescent lights and stick it on top and leave it on for about six days and presto you have clones I mean you do have to water every two days and dont forget to stick a pen through the top of the togo container a couple a places for air. I have never had problem cloning. and I have cloned a dozen times without a special cloning box or anything else.

I agree with keckge - They don't call it weed for nothing! I've used Root-tone on lots of plants, works great. Just don't get impatient, that's always my problem, I dig it up to see what's happening... And the rotisserie chicken box is brilliant, I'll have to get some of those somehow without eating that nasty chicken...

can you still clone a plant if its in its flowering stage and has small flowers on it ? (first time grower)

too bad there are no pics?!?!

Yes, but it will take longer than a vegging clone to root. Worth it to continue a strain that you like though.

I took my cuts, cut off the extra leaves (left a nice top), scarred the bottom inch of the stem, dipped it in wally world "take root" powder, placed my clones in freezer bags, blew CO2 in with my mouth, and sealed them. Does this sound ok?

Q1. How much light should I give my clones; i just took the cuttings and they're inside the house with no light. The guy who started this thread suggested indirect light (12/12). In the past, I've taken them out under my shade cloth (80-% blockage) and the sun almost killed them. I have a garden window, could I use that?

Q2. started my cuttings in "seed starter mix," will that work as a medium?

my other question is can I start a clone and keep it on the window sill and eventually move it to a pot and then keep it around until the spring where I can plant it outside? Basically I want to keep this strain for next grow season is this the best way to do it?

You just take a male and one female and get.the.seeds.lol or just clone one and put insoors under a.light and just keep it in veg stage until ready to advance

Can I use rooting enhancer? I have mx clone gel. Which sucks... All my clones have not survived because they get rotted idk how... I s most 2 times a day and water every 3 days.
