35 years ago - Yep I said 35 years ago.
I had a friend that harvested his crop. He had recently uprooted his plants and hung them upside down in black garbage bags to dry [roots and all] for about 2 days in a hot 95 deg + attic. When I found out I asked him if I could have 1 bud to try something.

He took me upstairs and I cut a 3-inch or so bud off the plant.

I took it home and using a razor blade and made a nice clean 45 deg cut about 3 inches from the bud. Then dipped it in root tone and put the bud into a styrofoam cup filled with soggy wet potting soil. I put the cup under a big clear glass street light globe and placed it under a regular shop light [2 fluorescent t12] fixture giving the cutting 24 /7 light.

It didn’t die and after a couple of weeks, I was stunned to see all kinds of weird long stringy growths emerge from the bud. As time passed the bud re generated into a very healthy plant, and all those long stringy things became branches that morphed into a shrub. After awhile the darn thing had bark on it like an outdoor yard bush. I kept the plant under the 24/7 light for about 2 years, and smoked many good joints off the leaves. It was so good that I had to put a lock on the closet door to keep it safe from college roommates wanting a hit!

When I had to move out of town for a job, I gave the plant to a friend.
TRUE STORY
jjm Reviewed by jjm on . Question about Cloning in late flowering. Need advice Ok so like the title implies, I cloned my White Skunk and Blackberry strains when they were 2 weeks, maybe 3, from harvest. Why? Well I really wanted to see if it was possible, and I didn't really take into account a few things (obviously). I have a lack of space and didn't see having two separate rooms, one for veg, one for flower, so I wanted to see if this method worked. Ok, on to the question! My clones took root, took quite a while to start growing again and change back to veg, but Rating: 5
