Super simple cloning

[Sunshine]

Still no movement on the 2 x Top Dawgs, they're both stubbornly refusing to show any signs of rooting whatsoever. I really don't like giving up on any plant but I'm going to have to pull the plug on these tonight.
The Fruitwrecks and Red Dragons on the other hand are growing nicely, so nicely in fact that one of the fruitwrecks is already big enough to take another cut from ?

Here's the little fruitwreck cutting vegging nicely, she's taller than her peers so an ideal candidate to take a slice off of the top.

After this pic was taken (below) a new cut was made at a steep 45degree angle using a very sharp pen knife ?

New cut popped straight into water ?

Looks very intresting.

Noticed the starts of roots on the small cut (of a cut) saturday, I'll give her a couple more days then pot her on ?

 

[Sunshine]

Here's the same cut a few days later ready to be potted up (pic taken yesterday), she's now in dirt and settling in nicely ??

this is an awesome guide, I'm planning on using my topped plants when theyre ready for clones, gonna take a shot at it in the dark and hope it works. Do you just stick the roots into the soil? do they have to be positioned in any type of way?

 

[Sunshine]

Thanks @JohnnyBunz ?

Do you just stick the roots into the soil? do they have to be positioned in any type of way?

Yes just chuck them in the soil, if you're going straight into your final container it's worth adding some mycos to the planting hole to give them a boost ?

Here are some that rooted in the last week, chucked them in the dirt night before last. I didn't use a humidity dome on these or spray them and they all showed roots in 5-10 days ?

? yo sunshine cool thread bud?

 

[Sunshine]

Thanks @Jcloud777. Here are a couple of cuts taken 2 days ago, straight into tap water no dome will update when roots show (another 5-7 days) ?

I a clone called California special it took way over a month to make roots. Under low lightning t5.

Yes some strains can be quite stubborn to root, also the softer younger tips root much quicker than any stems that have become woody/rigid ☺

 

[Sunshine]

Rooted in 7 days, no dome or hormones. This is the FruitBowl leaning pheno of the FruitWreck which has the strong and unmistakable fruitbowl aroma ?

I know some of you guys mentioned you'd not cloned before so I thought I'd take a couple of pics while I take some cuts from the Fruitwreck.
This method is quick easy and almost fool proof ?

The equipment: Shot glass full of tap water, sharp clean scissors, plastic bottle cut down to act as humidity dome.

The method: Now find some small branches, 2.5-3 inches is a good length and chop the stems at 45 degree or steeper angle, strip the lower stem of leaves, cut any large leaves in half to reduce transpiration and put them in the water.

Care: The key thing now is to keep the cuts cool, heat is the enemy. The shot glass now gets covered with a 2 litre bottle to act as a humidity dome, roots will appear in a couple of weeks and the clones are exact copies of the mother they are taken from so you can preserve your favourite strain/pheno indefinitely.

It's as easy as that, no chemicals or hormones just water and throw away plastic, I'll update in a couple of weeks when the roots are appearing ?
If anyone wants more detail or pics of prepping the cut once a stems been removed let me know and I'll take some and edit them in
Hope that helps someone ?

sunshine what are you doing cutting clones or sheering sheep with those cutters haha

Bit of both ???✂

This tiny Fruit Train flower cut is starting to reveg ?

and this little fellow died doing what he loved ?

Big meanie, Ill tell the Ant Union on you.

Thanks for this tutorial @Sunshine! I have a stackable cupcake transporter that looks much like this dome setup you have. Will have to see how that works for my next batch of clones! ??
