What is a cannabis clone?

Buy Feminized Seeds Online Denmark A cannabis clone is a cutting, such as a branch, taken from a living marijuana plant and grown into its own plant. A clone has the same genetic makeup as the plant from which it was taken, known as the mother plant.

A typical clone is about 6 inches long, give or take, and is placed in a medium such as a root cube and given a hormone to encourage root growth after being cut off the mother plant.
After the roots form, it is transplanted into a pot or the ground, where it grows like any other weed plant. Buy THC Vape Juice Online Europe

Growing weed from seeds can be difficult, but starting from clones is much easier. Clones will save you time because they take time to root out, but you won’t have to germinate seeds, which will save you about a month of growing time.

Clones can also help you save space in your garden. To identify and eliminate males, you must grow a large number of seeds and sex them. Furthermore, some seeds do not germinate. You’ll need more room for all those seeds, and they might not even grow into full-fledged plants.

Taking a clone from an existing plant is also free. All you need to do is buy some supplies. Clones can, however, be purchased from a dispensary.

One of the most appealing aspects of clones is that they are exact genetic replicas of the mother plant from which they were extracted. If you have a favorite marijuana plant due to its appearance, smell, effects, or something else, you can take clones of it and grow it over and over again.
Some speculate that clones can degrade over time due to environmental stressors and other factors, but this is debatable.

How to choose a mother plant to clone

As genetics are identical between a mother and a clone, it’s important to choose a good plant as a mother. A wilt plant, or one that doesn’t produce good buds, won’t make a good mother.

Growers usually look for these qualities in a mother plant:

• Sturdy, vibrant growth
• Great aromas and flavors
• Big yields
• Dense trichomes
• Resistant to pests and mold

How to clone in rockwool or root cubes

This is most likely the cheapest and simplest method for cloning weed plants. They provide stability to a delicate clone and a medium for roots to grow easily.

Simply take a cutting (more on that below), soak it in rooting hormone, and place it in a rockwool or root cube. The cubes are then placed in a tray with water and covered with a dome to maintain humidity. Once the roots emerge from the root cube, the cutting can be transplanted into a pot with soil.

How to clone in water

As mentioned above, you can use aeroponics to root out your weed cuttings. Take a cutting as you normally would and place them in a cloner, which will spray the bottom with water at set intervals. Nutrients and rooting hormone are mixed into the water chamber below.
