Leaf cuttings

[bugmenot2]

Hi, my plants do not have many side shoots, so when I topped them I cloned some of the leaves as well as the top. Unfortunately these leaves don't have any nodes and therefore aren't sprouting any shoots. Is there any way I can force them to grow? Anything that is like rooting hormone for shoots?

I know with some species of plants you can root a leaf. Rooting hormone always helps.
Although I'm not sure with an annual like cannabis that it would work.

I have seen roots grow from leaf petioles- ONCE- and it was on a clone that had nodes that had rooted as well.
If you want to use leaves to grow whole plants, your only sure bet is by micropropagation.

Ok, thanks for the responses. The leaves all rooted no problems but no node seems to mean no shoots. :( Guess they will go into some butter.
