New Clone Technique

[GaGrown]

The picture looks like a plant tied to a stick to me.

It's acctually a rooter plug wrapped around the stem at a node site and scarred with olivia's cloning gel. It takes root while in veg.. Never being cut from the plant till it roots. Once it's roots show through the plug... You cut it off and transplant. Never stopping it's cycle. It's air layering... Not pot on a stick...lol Thats sure to be a new clone technique. Never tried popcicle style cloning before! Did you see the pic where I cut the stalk?

Ok, cool, yea I see where you cut it.

I'm wondering how that would work for cutting back flowering plants...

When my bloom box plants get too big I'm going to have to bend them or net them, neither of which I understand at the moment so have to look into that, or may be removing the top. They've only been in flower a week or so...


Where the branches were broken it looks like it allows the lower leaves to get more light and they seem to have lots of buds... But I don't know.

Where all the light colored leaves, will those be buds?

You should LST... Low stress training. Start when they are young. Just bending and tying the branches down. Away from the center of the plant. It allows the middle and lower budsites to mature above the once covering canopy. Maybe do a scrog. But you have to start it early as well. One plant will fill a screen up. Ask pushit.. Gotta train it,too. Just moving and somewhat bending,to the sites in the screen above. Once you have it as full as you want. Then flower.


If you were to leave the plant like it is... You will see those lower sites start to fill out and before you know it they have caught-up with the mid side branches...

They penetrated the plug today! Hell Yeah! Cut it and transplanted it. She'll be flowering before ya know it.. This is the preference of procedure, for my needs from now on!

Nice! I haven't had much success to date with cloning (tried with domes and bubblers to no avail), but this method seems much easier. Is the trick to do it at a node or can you do it anywhere on the plant? About how long does it take to see the roots penetrate the plug? Do you have to use the cloning gel for this to work?

The plants in the flower box will just have to squeeze in there any way they can I guess.

This is the plant I need to start low stress on:

These are the little clones I was given on Thanksgiving:

I should probably do something to them as well.

I'll have to read up on the process...

These are the plants from seeds:

They are staying so low, they're a lot older than the one I need to start low stress on.

Low, wide, and perfectly symmetrical.

They're taking their time and growing right I guess.

May be this is an older purer strain of indica?
