Clones from a Flowering Female

Marijuana Horticulture

By Jorge Cervantes

You can clone a favorite flowering plant, but it is difficult. Clones take longer to root, and results are not always the best. Powerful flowering hormones must be reversed, and rooting hormone signals must be spent. Now is the time to give plants 24 hours of light to signal them to grow.

Cut clones from the lower green branch tips. Cut a one to two inch long stem. Trim off flowers and lower leaves. Keep two or three green leaves. If leaves have yellowed, survival chances diminish exponentially.

The earlier in the flowering stage cuttings are taken, the more rapid the rotting and the re-vegetation rate. Once a pant reaches the senescence point, leaving not enough t initiate rots.
