Mix that aloe powder with water and pre soak the cups with soil you want to put the clones in, then pour a little into a separate cup and soak the clones (the cut ends) you take for a couple minutes before you stick them in the soil

Should work fine. I soak cuts in water for 24hrs then put in soil. Low light and spray leafs with water every so often you’ll have roots in a week or more.

Sounds easy enough I saw the BAS guy do the same just wanted to double check with the more experienced growers in here

Tons of ways to be successful cloning, just gotta pick one and go for it, don’t be discouraged if it doesn’t work, keep reading, keep trying, you’ll get it

This statement by @nube is making me pull the trigger
Best I’ve smoked in a long time.
incredibly happy, euphoric, uplifting vibes they provided without being sedating.
I wanto t be happy and have a smile and feel comfortable in social situations sounds like this could be a good one for it

What about management of them. So you take clones during veg close to flip? Then exclude/cull the males once sex is confirmed.
Keep clones small until harvest of main grow under weak light.
Harvest, dry decide which pheno/s you like and cull the rest of the clones and keep a mom?

Cut clones any time in veg. Then flip the originals to flower, if you haven’t IDd males and don’t want em cull any you find. Hold the clones of all the females you have in veg (18/6 lighting) until you finish flowering the females and have a chance to smoke everything, pick your favorite and keep that mother plant, toss all the others if you don’t want em. That’s it in a nutshell I think. Look up the thread on “Bonsai Mums” for advice on how to keep the clones small and manageable

That’s what I’m hoping myself. I’ve been stressed/anxious lately with no idea why really

I get like that sometime too I think it’s just life in general and it might not even be something that’s obvious and “now” .
It could be events that happened a while ago or something triggers a response in you that you’ve had before that can do these thing…I’m not a doc but these are just something I notice in myself
I like happy weed more often than not, as much as I like being planted on the couch I also want to go out socially and smoke but not knock out indica ,happy smoke for those occasions

Sounds simple enough.
Would you say take 2 or 3 cutting of each?
If I get stuck somewhere I’ll be sure to reach out.

Definitely hedge your bet and take more cuts than you need

Last question for now I promise 
will solo cups be big enough or should I go a little bigger
6 Likes
Nope solo cups are perfect, drill holes for drainage. Bonus points if you put the soil/clone in a clear solo cup and then put that in a red solo cup, allows you to check the root development in the clear cup but keep it out of the light which would damage the roots.

Just remember that the age of the plant you take clones from will be the age of said clones in perpetuity, eg if you take clones from a 30-day old plant, those clones will always be thirty days old. So yeah, I’d wait to take clones as long as you can, since we all know that a plant vegged 60 days is gonna perform better than a plant vegged for thirty days. Or whatever.

Nope, nothing like that! Sounds interesting. As for the cold temp drying, it will be 20-50F during the day, and 0-30F at night. I wonder how that will affect things…
I think it’s already been covered by all the helpful overgrowers 
, but I’ll respond as well. Definitely take them during veg. I usually do a nice trim a week or two before flower on bushy plants, and use all the side branches that are long but not really “tops” as my clones. You can also take directly from the tops as well, but that will impact your yield unless you let them veg up another 2 weeks after cloning tops.
There are lots of search results for cloning here, so search around a little bit if you need help. I’ve used all the methods, and for me the easiest (I’m lazy) is using fresh aloe (powder mixed with water to make a thick paste would work too) as the rooting hormone and solo cups of my normal recycled dirt mix. Cut, label, smear with aloe leaf like you would a sunburn, use a pencil to make a hole in moist cup of dirt, put clone in, seal dirt at top, stick under very low 24/0 or 20/4 light, keep warm and have some air movement, call it good. I only water the dirt with a misting sprayer when it looks dry and don’t spray the leaves anymore because it didn’t seem to help. I don’t get 100% but I always take multiple clones from each plant and usually don’t care if I lose some.

Yep, this is good weed for that. You won’t find too many phenos that get you blasted high, but in social situations do you want to smoke and have everybody nodding off like a bunch of opioid addicts? Doesn’t sound like party weed to me…
I don’t understand this. Are you contending that, once you take clones, the clones don’t mature beyond the age at which you took them no matter how long they’re alive? I’ve never heard that before…and I’m not sure how that could be the case? Would you please expand on that a little bit? My experience is that clones taking in veg still mature and develop flowers when flipped, and conversely, clones taken in flower can still reveg and root and produce new growth.

Bring out the frost? Whoa, that’s chilly! That’s almost a walk-in cooler. My space never gets below 50°F, and rarely, at that. I think I’d be getting Ms Nube to be knitting some little bud sweaters

Yeah, I’ve read that from several different sources. I can’t remember where exactly offhand, as I haven’t read about cloning in a long time, but lemme see if I can find the articles…

This isn’t one of the articles I’ve read before, but it states: “ A clone will always be the same age as the original mother plant.,” although it doesn’t say why that is. Can A Clone Be A Mother Plant Too? - Gardeners By Trade
I’ve gotta eat breakfast and then work out, I’ll look around afterwards and see if I can’t find the original articles/forum posts where I read that.

It’s always the same age because it came from the same seed. It’s the same plant, so it’s the same age. It isn’t in stasis or anything, and you can see that in effect by taking a clone from a plant that isn’t sexually mature yet, and then the cutting and the mother will both mature and you can see the pistils on them in veg.
