Can i clone in flower?

[F1SEEDS]

:thumbsup:i agree with u man

Any guesses what happens to a light-poisoned hermaphrodite after re-vegging? :jointsmile:

but can i ask why u would have a hermy plant in ur grow they are totally useless man! but i guess it would go even more hermy man lol



peace and love

Wow thanks for all the posts guys! I just really dont want to lose these genetics on this lady... she is a medical strain from Baltimore and was one of 6 females out of 8 seeds that cracked. The other 5 girls are growing outdoors and will be done within a week or two so I figured this one that I have indoors would be a better choice for clone.
She is a tad taller than I wanted but her other traits are excellent. She has a strong smell of coffee as she grows and now her buds are smelling like hot chocolate almost... and she is has taken so much stress and still a solid and strong girl. From being over watered, under watered, heat stress, burned by a bulb that accidently fell on her, root bound, rough transplants, late LST'ing...you name it and shes grown through it and thrived! Must...Keep...Her!

Going to try and take two clones off right now and try them in hydro and if that doesnt work I will definitely re-veg her.

Any advice on what to try and get the clones to root in if im going to put them in hydro?
All I have is hydroton... Should i just try to get them to root in the baskets with hydroton?


Going to try and take some pics of her with my phone since I cant find the cable to my cam.

Ok here is some pics with my phone. Crappy quality sorry. Any tips while you guys are looking would be nice... Kind of off topic of the thread i know. Anybody know why the leaves point up like that sometimes? Its like they are trying to get to the light or something...

here is another pic to show the size of the fan leaves with my hand behind it... I have large hands :thumbsup:

Might want to reconsider pulling clones off the flowering lady. For two reasons...First, they are difficult to root, and unless you've had success before, they are finicky and slow. Second, it may stress the plant too much when removing branches substantial enough to clone.

Personally, I'd wait and do the re-veg thing. Tiz fairly simple.

...but can i ask why u would have a hermy plant in ur grow they are totally useless man! but i guess it would go even more hermy man lol

Actually, I light poison a lady or two on occation to get her to shoot-out some 'male' flowers. I then pollinate a sister or two, and collect the resultant seeds in about 5 or 6 weeks. They call these "femmed" or "feminized" seeds. Instead of disposing of the lady, I use the 'bonsai' technique in my signature, and re-veg her. (or them)

Anyway, the light poisoned "hermie" as you call it, reverts back to being a plain-old lady. Clones are fine, (no nanners) and so is she. I have some mighty fine genteics, and have never had problems, as all strains I have grown or heard of, have the inherant ability to self-reproduce. Bad genetics hermie uncontrollably. Normal genetics need forcing by someone that knows what they are doing and why. :thumbsup:

Thanks all for the posts... Rusty, I am going to take your advice and use your "bonsai" re-veg technique. Sounds simple enough and you say you have mucho success with it.

Also reading about your hermies and reverting them and what not... thats just amazing!
Im sure glad there are people who experiment like that with our favorite plant...You need to tell me more about that whole process. Also about how to properly light poison.

glad to hear that u know wot ur going to do man:thumbsup:


breeding useing a hermie plant is not always the best road man ...a male gives the most inportant part of a new strain.


i have tested some seeds that have been grown this way and if there is some light leaks the new offsping might react and give out some male buds.

id advice that if u want to make seeds do it the proper way male x female.

a hermie plant holds hermaphrodite genes no matter how u produce the male pollen so there is always that chance....i have been reading some of SOMAs way to get male pollin ...u let the plant go 2 extra weeks in 12/12 and if she puts out a male sack that is used to make seeds.(my next test)

thats wot i think any way man

Quite the newbie statement. Good job. (but you're wrong) Your assesment that this can only be done with 'hermie' genetics is laughable and lacking. The pollen on the donor plant isn't male pollen, it's female pollen.

Since you obviously you have no experience femming seeds or manipulating the reproduction process, doubtful you should comment on the technique. Especially when there are some in here that are familiar with the process, and use the technique with great success.

Overmaturing a plant is a hit-or-miss technique that follows the same rationale of "stress her till she nuts-up". (over-ripening causes the plant sterss) Can also be done with chemicals, hormones, steroids, ph fluctuations...but those techniques are, in my opinion, a good way to potentially damage the genes.

Please, tell me in detail how SOMA's purposefully over-ripened nanners are different than nanners from a purposefully light poisoned plant. I'm all ears. :jointsmile:

now now no need to get personal man .....

firstly i advice against useing hermi plants to produce seeds! thats wot ur doing!

secondly ive probibly got more grow exsperiance than u man ....cheeky u. lol


thirdly feminised seeds are a mith man they are not the way to go if u are breeding strains true. .. but i guess u know that!

a feminzed seed is not %100 female so where does the male part come from if there is no male genes??

i know wot i know ....the aswer is wot do u know......dont tell me everything lol

come on man to just say that im totally wrong is wrong on ur part .......................i was going to put wot ive learned to good use but ill just let u make ur own mistakes


peace and love

geeman

ps .if u light stress the offspring of ur hermi cross they will produce male sacks i know this as ive tryed and tested it!
dont think ill waiste any more time with fem x fem seeds.

This is a great thread as I am in the same boat. I need to save 2 different flowering strains as well.

Thanks to all that have taken the time to input,
