Something about how they are just tools for the plant (sugar factories, at that) so the plant can carry out photosynthesis. Only a main shoot has the necessary genetics to create roots. But you knew this already, man! ;) :D:D:D
Sorry, ronjohn420, but LOLOL...hehe
Check this out...Cloning a fan leaf PIC!
^^Look at post #8.
Just messin' witcha RJ420. I saw your recent flowering plant photos. Kickass.
:rasta:

Heh.
i'm not sure you cannot. It just might be very difficult or give low success rate. They clone flan leafs off other plants. and some plants reproduce that way (jade plants)
i want to try cloning a fan leaf
and no all cells in the plant have the DNA to create roots. Every cell has the same DNA except the gametes.
they may not have enough carbs stored to grow a sufficent root system or something. Theoreticaly you can grow an entire plant from one cell.
Hmmm. That would be an excellent solution, if it worked...
That was hilarious. lmao :D :stoned:Quote:

what happends is that a stem would grow off the leaf's little steam. and grow into a normal plant. It does this with other plants as i said. most cloning is done using leafs not growth tips (in other plants)Quote:

BobBong had said something about the plant sheding tis fan leaves when it was done and didn't need them...somehow I probably misunderstood. Sorry for the misinformation. So it can be done, but it's probably hard...?
Then when you said the thing about the "one cell" being able to grow a plant, I remembered reading something about culture tests...like cell culture or something like that where they shave off a piece of the plant and just grow from that! :eek:
I did say "something like...blah blah blah..." so I didn't want to come across like I was 100% sure. :o
BUT, I think this would be a really tricky method to do and is mainly for preserving genetics and stuff. It sure would take a long time.
I think that cloning from a fan leaf would take longer too. Maybe if you had to slow down your grow to let other stuff catch up, that might be an idea. :confused:
I would also think that it would probably require a very controlled environment for this to be successful, and like harris7 said, the success rate would probably decrease. Hey, sh*t, try it faithlessxxx and let us know!
I still think it looks funny. :D

BUT I HAVE GOTTEN ROOTS FROM A SMOKABLE SIZED BUD. IT TOOK 32 DAYS, BUT GREW ROOTS.
NOW I HAVE A RETARDED LOOKING REVEG BUD/PLANT.
ONE FINGER LEAVES.
WILL POST PICS ON MONDAY
GOOD LUCK
You can only clone fan leaves through tissue culture, where you can force the cells to revert to totipotency.
For slip cuttings that everyone calls cloning, the best part to grow roots is a node because there's a lot of totipotent cells that just naturally occur at each node that can become anything...leaf, stem, root, bud.
ya know thats some real asshole shit you guys!!!!!
but i have to admit myself that looking back on that..... i can laugh myself about it
but c'mon man...... dont discredit me that bad
damn
thats the funniest shit everQuote:

A bubbler, high 70* warm water, some bloom fert and adding a bit of Rootone or similar to the actual water (not dipping like doing in soil) gives almost 100%results so KIS.
