what you're describing is a "clone", simply another plant grown from the cutting instead of a seed ... the purpose of that, by taking cuttings only from females, you will have another female plant to grow out, instead of taking a chance on a male from a seed ... be aware, too much cutting or pruning can cause stress, resulting in the female mother plant producing male flowers ... go to Grow FAQs, and read the "Cloning" section ... :smokin:
