A Qestion for Noosa, Harddon, Or Zandor...

[EmTpockets]

Well, I went to water my girl, and low and behold...I fucked up and broke a 12" branch off her. Is it too late to clone this branch? If not, what method do you suggest using to propigate it? The only thing I have is rooting hormone powder. Right now I have the branch in a vase filled with water, and I cut the bottom of the stem on an angle. then, I trimmed the first set of leaves up from the cutting to expose the node for the roots to pop out. Next question: Will it propigate just staying in the water as-is(changing the water every couple days, ofcourse), or should I put an airstone/airiater in the water with it...or should I say screw the water method all together and use the rooting powder-stick it directly into moist soil? Help me out here fellas, for I probly dont have much of a time frame to choose. Thanks-emtpockets


PS-I will include pics if you ask for them.

[HARDDON]

if i was you I would:


get the rooting powder on her and get her in moist soil now...and spray mist her too.

[HARDDON]

P.S....

Quit breaking her branches :D

She should still be able to be cloned no problems....the question is...how long was she in water? I would perhaps re-snip her up an inch if it was say more than 30 minutes?

[Garden Knowm]

I have witnessed cuttings kept in water for 14 days and then razor bladed at an angel dipped in hormone beyond node and then put in ph 5.o rockwool... 5 days later.. presto rooted like a champ... I have seen this many times...

to be safe you should use wilt spray as well.. If the branch is 12 inches you can make many clones...

from your description, it sounds like you have a firm grasp on cloning technique..

did this place turn into a private forum, site for specific people only? i see an awful lot of that anymore. this is cannibus.com, isnt it? if you only want help from specific people, why not get their e-mail or pm them? this site has changed,...

[BobBong]

rooting gel works alot better than rooting powder.. pickup the gel if you can

[BagWeedBob]

Sativus, your right.

[latewood]

the root powder works fine, unless you have extra budget, you don't need to change until you run out...if you want to use bubble stones make sure the root end is out of the water after you dip it in takeroot...in other words make a little bubbler, dip the cutting, you need a foam plug to hold the cutting in the whole you cut in top of some type of plastic container

You do need to get some air to the roots as well. What GK is saying is right. The water is just a temp holding place. It was when the cutting was moved to the Rockwool that it rooted. It can root in the glass of water; just remember roots don't like light. The chances of success are not as high as if you used Peat moss pellets, Rockwool or another rooting method.
Sorry to hear about the accident.

Your post was no help to answer his problems at all. You hijacked his thread so you can bitch. Take it to the feed back forum if you have a problem.
Please stay on topic
Rudeness and disrespect is not tolerated. If you don't like it here go elsewhere. Nobody is forcing you to stay; personally I think this is a great forum. There are hundreds of new members learning to grow and others learning to grow better. Whatâ??s wrong with that?

[latewood]

I'll start back I couldn't edit fast enough to get you all the info and pic's: get a gallon or 2 gallon container, get some 1" thick foam rubber
drill hole in top of container to fit plug add superthrive to ph adjusted water and airstones in water, keep root out of water 2-3 weeks roots/clone...
hopes this helps you get the idea. this works great, also for anti-wilt, wally's sells miracle grow "leaf shine" it works...superthrive and leaf shine will cost you less than 10 bucks, but will be quite worth it...goodluck
P.S. I do not think there is anything wrong with asking a specific person/s
you trust for help...

Thanks Zandor.

I was gonna address this as well but wanted you to do it. You have so much more "TACT" than I do.

You know how I could have gone the deep end, but I am learning to be kind, polite, understanding and all that other goodie stuff.

You hear that Bettlejuice??????

HARD ON is behavin :)

[EmTpockets]

Thanks all for the help, it is very appreciated:)! On a lighter note...I addressed a couple of members that I trusted on the subject at hand, they have helped me before and given me advice that was easy to follow and most importantly, correct. Thank you Zandor, and Harddon, and all else who answered my post.
Happy growing to all!!-emtpockets:)

Im Gonna Get Bashed for Saying this But here goes....

I snap On Main stem on each Of My plants around 7 weeks before they go into bud.
so all the stems are Strong and tree like I snap it Not completely and then let it repair itself....

Mate I swear By this Method I get More trichs and thicker buds.
All I know is A bit of stress does them the world of good..

dont do it to your one.
But next time round empty just try what I said On one and check the difference..


Its probably not too late to Graft the Branch back on to the plant.
its quite easy to do also..

[HARDDON]

Interesting.

I have heard about people crushing the stem as well.

The way some people treat their plants....ROFLMAO.....

and I get bashed for naming 'em cunts and whores....ehehheheheheee :)

I have accidently broke a couple of Cunt;s stems and they're still hanging and in fact growing flowers....

I think I'll check to see if I can see any difference when I smoke em!

Good info :)

[EmTpockets]

LOL...yes I will try this on my next grows. Well, Im still waiting for roots, I think Im goona try what GK said an let it marinate in the water for 14 days and then hit it with the rooting hormone and put it into a growing medium. If this sounds good...tell me. And if you want to hit me with another suggestion, speak away!!

That is one of the proven stress methods along with crushing stocks to stress. It's an art form to do it right. I have done it a few times by accident but used popcycles sticks to hold it back together.

Just remember when the nubies try it and kill their plants I'll send them your way.....lol

Got any pics of the srtess area you can show them. Or write up a stick on the method I'll put it up for you if you want to.

[luckydan]

Had a mate that use to snap the branches ,but he did it so it wouldnt out grow the room it was in.there was no art form about how he snaped the branches.Just grabed a branch in his fist and bent it till it snapped ,then let it hang.Never saw one branch die...Although i prefer good horticultural practices and i dont think snaping branches is one of them.....But it defenatly is a techneque that some growers use....

[NoosaHeads]

Well Basicly It started as a mistake.lol..
I was too eager to tie one of my monsters down.
and put too much stress in the Base and low and behold the next day Basicy on of my favourites was spli in Half.
all I did was tie it Back Up with string and a few week later a BIG kNob FORMED WERE THE SPLIT WAS.
and after the initail shock she grew stronger than ever..

the One thing I must stress Is to bend them down gradually.
dont be in a hurry.
if you have any tiedown Q's Im more than Glad to answer em..:D

lol..thats why I said to empty not to do it to his one and only pretty girl.
(he has some good stock comming his way so i'll be interested to see how they go).
I must add one thing I dont know weather it makes a difference or not.
I use a Heavy Duty Hemp String (5mm thick) to almost rejoin the Main Stress point.
no pop sticks just good old hemp string.
also spreying them with a Fine Mist Of Water (morning and afternoon).
will help it to repair itself faster.
I'm getting a Nice digicam for this verry purpouse..
Theres a thread in here I made called stay tuned..
I'll update it asap...
cheers Fella's..:D
