Advice on cloning flowering plants

[freddyyola]

im guessing that light is to heat up the greenhouse?

cool set up bro i love it one day ill have an ourdoor grow i can chill at

[freddyyola]

cant you just take pics with your phone and upload it from there or are you using a nicer camera for better pics quality looks good, anyways i hope one day i can have a raised bed garden for my plants but its not so legal here and i always wondered does the greenouse plastic/glass reduce yield from less sunlight? i guess it does but not thats the trade off for a controlled environment?

Night time home for now, hangin out with the seedlings, CD-1 that I'm trying to keep from flowering, and some scraggly ass Habanero seedlings, more peppers, and of course, my apple tree.

I planted into transparent containers so I can watch root development. Sock snuggies to increase micro humidity, and keep light off my roots ( thank you Tika and Paracelsus for the idea!!)
medium is mostly Spahgnum and Perlite, with a little bit of Vermicompost mixed in so they have SOME nutes, and to start colonization of benificial Microbes( I can't not have my worm castings anymore!)
Day time home is right next to mom for now, I have this weird, baseless hunch that bellow the mother has some unknnown benefit, so goin with it. Back in the world of the cognitive, maybe since branches were used to that environment, maybe it will help at first?

Huge thanks to everyone that stopped by to offer advice!! And to Gwe AND nebulas tutorials of course!
Wish em luck on there journey( hopefully it involves root foremation!)

Harvested the rest of my BlueberryxAK bag seed plants this morning, so had plant count for starting Blue Dream clones from flowering mother!

Cool beans. I would definitly want to know how taking clones from a flowering plant turns out!

[GreenhouseEffect]

Thanks!
Have access to another computer that I can post pics off of now, so will share my progress on this mission.

If you need help let me know!

[GreenhouseEffect]

No worries strainsgrow, I've been known to do that myself!

[GreenhouseEffect]

Thanks a bunch everyone!!
I think I will have to look into building a Cloning machine as well, I already have an air pump for my worm casting tea I make, as well as the splitter, it's a big pump and put's out a lot of air. I am pretty much a redneck engineer, and have a lot of tools for my business, so I aught to be able to pull it off.
Thanks again, and looking forward to it!

ive taken late flower cuts before, threw them in my cloner and let them do there thing trying to reveg. Took along time, months if i can recall correctly. They almost didnt make it. Finally revegged and than took right off. Good luck!

Definitly do a diy clone machine... under 50$... and you can make it as big as you want... container, air pump, air stone and hose... used mine for the outdoor garden, little bit of clonex and phed water. 100% success. 8/8. Oh and a holesaw goes a long way too!

My bad greenhouse. Probably responded to wrong thread. ✌️😂

I've taken cuts in early flower many times, I've seen the stuff about it giving the "monster cropping" effect but, I've never actually seen that happen myself, nor anyone I know. It will take a bit of time to get through re-vegging your cut/cuts, and they can be difficult to get to root for you sometimes but, if you get them rooted and taking hold in a medium then it will happen, you just need to be patient with them. Personally, I think the best method for getting any cuts rooted is with an aero-cloner, something like the Turbo Klone or an EZ Cloner.
You definitely should keep them in lower light than you would your typical vegging plants, at least for a while, and keeping them under 24 hour lighting seems to help with bringing them back to veg mode, once you start seeing new growth coming out you can switch them back to 18/6 for veg.
The best thing to do about your leaves is to cut them in half, that's what most people do. It's not necessary with the smallest leaves but, any larger ones that are left on you should do this with, just go blade by blade and cut each one in half.
Definitely is best to get your 45 degree angled cut on a node if possible and also to have one or two in the area that will be in the rooting zone, they will shoot out roots much easier than straight stalk. If you can't do that, something else you can do is to either scrape down a small amount of the outer skin of the stalk in that zone or make some small slices in that zone, being careful not to cut too deeply, that will help roots develop more easily, it does help.
Something I always do is to grab a cup of water and have it handy when I take my cuts. If I'm able, I'll cut them a little longer than need be and put them in the water as quickly as possible and keep them in there as much as I can until they get dipped in rooting hormone and go into the cloner/root plug, etc. Another good idea is to water the plant/plants you're taking cuts from long enough beforehand that they've had time to drink some up, I'd give them 45 minutes to an hour.

Just my two cents...

Good Luck!!!
