When I first came across this fun fact I had to look it up. I didn’t believe it.
It is a thing. Until the 60s it was the way.
Plipipililiplipliip(sound of a frog laying eggs imo). yup. Preggo.

I like to take cuts 5 days in to flower. The stretch growth makes for vigorous clones, and 5 days is still early enough to avoid any every wierdness.

I take them whenever the plant is big enough to week 3 or 4 of 12/12.

What I don’t get is who originally came up with the idea to inject a frog with a pregnant woman’s urine in the first place?
Pass that joint man! Your old lady is pregnant right?
Well I’ve got this frog…….

I often ask myself “who originally came up with” hah
The frog test was quite the upgrade from the previously used rabbit test where you’d inject urine in a rabbit twice a day for 3 days.

I wait til the plant produces alternating nodes, or preflowers.
I only clone in veg, unless its an emergency/mistake.
If im cloning to keep a plant, i start from the bottom.
If im cloning for production, i start from the top and always leave two nodes below the cut on the branch. That way it produces double the cloning sites the next time.
Taking cuts once you flip lighting schedule means its effecting the phenotype and can be harder to hold in veg for years. But not always.
Stressors are for flowering production, not for cloning or breeding.
Oh, also stress test a clone of the seed plant and never the seed plant itself. I see too many people say theyre stress testing their males, then use pollen from those stressed plants and wonder why their seeds make messed up progeny.

The answer is pretty simple.
Take cuts when you need them.

The rabbit died, but hopefully the frog just develops breasts or something.

Apparently it’s hcg (?) Hormones in pregnant women that cause the changes in these critters…
I have to admit every time I read on ‘old’ experiments or you know… old tek on frogs I keep imagining Alex Jones “they turning the frogs gay” meme and it’s hilarious

I read in Scientific American a couple of decades ago that birth control hormones in runoff were giving frogs sex changes. So they were finding a lot of XY females laying eggs.
I don’t remember where it was - somewhere in the US.

Yes 100%, part of why it’s funny is there’s data backing the claim but the delivery/way its brought really is some comedic gold
For no spam.
You can take cuts whenever and wherever on the plant accepting that the deeper in flowering you are the more delay in new growth there will be. Rooting can be sped up by hormones in a grow tip with a few pistils.
Perso for new moms, I favor bigger cuts, top or side branches, fast growing, health health health. Don Juan matis has a top notch write up for fast rooting fast growing cuts. Fewer cuts per tray, dialed environment etc perfection…
