Sry noob question..

At what time is the cloned branch taken from the mother plant? If you know it is a female plant can it be taken while still in veg (w/o causing too much plant stress : p ) ? Otherwise would you not have to wait til budding starts or finishes? I want to get a rotation going but I've never attempted cloning before. thx all.

stereoponics, any brunch with a thickness of at least 3/16" and 3-4 nodes on it, can be taken from a plant.
Clones are taken preferably from veg plants, and very rarely if its a must, can be taken during early flowering but it will take much longer to root.
And of course from a female plant, it wont make sense to clone a male plant.
If you have a plant that you don't know the sex of it yet, you can take a clone and throw it in to flowering to determine its sex.

Read the early posts of this guide for directions on how to clone your mother plant.

Have fun cloning buddy.

So checked all my clones and none rooted. Im still getting the problem of stem sealing. Fuck . . . . I cut these things like as soon as there removed from water and than there dipped in rooting powder, and onto the soil. Should I maybe leave the dome on for more than 2 days ? less than ? Whey is this air sealing stuff getting me so bad?

seaman, something its not right here, my friend.
What are you using to cut clones with?
And I'm asking this because, if you're using scissors that are not sharp as blades you might be damaging the stem (crushing it).

Also, the other thing that comes to mind is, do you open a hole in the soil and drop the stem in, or you push the stem in to the soil?

BTW, What strain are you cloning?

Im cloning Thai Stick. These clones are short. Like 2" in length. Umm I noticed last night when I was watering some soil for my seedling that as the water is going through the soil I could see air bubble popping from the surface. Would it be a good idea to water to push out the air before I plant the clone? Im using Utilty knife blades. This time I sterilized a brand new pair of scissors to try.

seaman, you're cloning one of the most difficult strains my friend, and I think the problem is the length of the clones.
Try to get cuttings that are at least 6" tall and make sure that you have at least one node in the soil.
Taking the air out of the soil its easy.
You can do it by squeezing a ball of soil in your hands and then put it in the cup.

jungle, thats good news buddy.
What kind of soil are you using and what strain?
I'll like to see people mentioning the strains that they're cloning so others can compare the difficulty of each strain.
Keep us posted of your progress friend, and thank you for participating in this thread and telling us your success story.
Keep up the good work.
