CLONING QUESTION

[highallthetime]

MY MOTHER PLANTS HAVE HUGE LEAVES ( 10 INCHES ) AND IT MAY BE HARD TO CLONE THEM BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE FAN LEAVES.

ANYONE KNOW IF ALL TYPES OF WEED ( MINE OG KUSH ) CAN BE CLONED ?

DO I HAVE TO REMOVE BIGGER LEAVES AND ONLY LEAVE THE SMALLS ?


THANKS 4 THE HELP

when i use to buy from the clubs i would notice that some of the leafs would be cut down
to half, i tried it once and it took a week longer for those to root in. then agan, i don't know much.

When you take a clone you only want 1 or 2 sets of small leaves. Take your clones from the inside of the plant where there are small chutes. I have seen and read about clipping the tips of the leaves off the new clones, I tried it on half of my clones last time and got the same result as devilvenom.

Read the cloning section of the link in my siggy.
First of all, OGKush is clone only... lol... yeah, it can be cloned...
Any plant can be cloned. Autoflowering strains it's pointless though.
You don't keep giant fans on the cuttings, you leave them on the mother plant, and only take ~4" fresh shoots to work with.

i've had a branch break of a plant and a friend of mine took it and just stuck it in the ground. it lived and budded all the way through. i've seen people take 2 inch cuttings and had them root in. i just make sure to cut at a inter-node, roots just burst out of there, a lot faster then just having a stem in the medium. just my experience at least.

When you first make a clone, the stems and leaves tend to get a little limp, so great big leaves can drag down the main stem. Also, while your clone is growing roots, or I should say, until your clone grows roots, it is feeding through the leaves. So you need to keep the clone in a very humid area and if you have a bunch of very humid fan leaves touching each other, the potential for rot is greater. So, sometimes you have to eliminate or trim the larger fan leaves simply for gravitational or logistical reasons. However, as your clone is sitting there deciding wether or not it will grow roots, and during the early stages of root developement, your little plant needs nutrition and it gets this nutrition from the fan leaves. That's why people trim the fan leaves instead of just cutting them off.

A lot of this depends upon the amount of space that you have available. In any event, you can leave as much or as many of the fan leaves as you want; just be sure to keep a close eye on them and be ready to trim or eliminate them if they stay soggy or look like they are having adverse effects on other parts of your clone. The cuttings actually stay pretty healthy looking throughout the cloning process, so you just need to judge for yourself if the fan leaves are adding to or detracting from the plant. Some of this you just need to experiment and decide what works for your growing conditions and the strain(s) you are cloning.

Very true - this plant really does clone quite easily, and you can clone even tiny little cuttings. :thumbsup:
