Will cuttings taken from a female plant result in female plants, or do you have the same 50/50 chance with them? I'm new to growing, and have read 500 different grow guides...hope this isn't a stupid question. This website, and you people are amazing and inspiring. I'm so excited about my first grow! Thanks

in short buddy yes!!!its the main reason for cloning.when ya take a cutting from a plant you are taking the same genetics as well

I guess this is stupid question #2 or #3 for this thread, but first statement would be way2go Crankster. This is a clear and concise guide and a standout thread.

That said; I know a reason to clone is so that one avoids getting to flower and then finding tiny little scrotums hanging off your favorite girlies.

Question
Is another reason to clone so's one can achieve a state of continuous grow, and start veg's whilst simultaneously flowering in another area?

And Question 2: Can you literally keep the same sweet girl alive forever, or for years at a time by repeatedly cloning the same plant(s) over and over?

Yes & yes poppa.

cranky

yes yes and yes yes yes
some peeps keep a mother plant going and take cuttings when needed but i prefer just to keep cloning as i dont have the space for mother plants.

glad you like the thread and thanks for the props.

Well this is 12 days using Crankies method, although I did over spray and cause them to complain, had I not, I'm sure roots will have shown earlier. Still, 12 days is nothing to complain about.
I'll be trying both clone gel, liquid and powder next time round in an experiment to see any significant difference.

very good thread, i only have one questoin tho, when is it safe to cut a branch/stem off your plant to clone it?

cranky

cheers smokingreenthum .well mate you can take a cutting at any time really but i like them to be at least 3 inch long and i normaly wait untill the mother plant(plant ya taking cutting off)shows sex.this is when the plant shows its preflowers and this normaly happens in the 3rd to 5th week of veg,all depending on what strain ya got

hope this helps
