Cloning Cannabis plants: A how to guide

 

Here is a step-by-step guide on cloning a cannabis plant hydroponically:

  • Start by selecting a healthy mother plant that is at least 2-3 weeks into its vegetative stage.
  • Take a cutting from the mother plant using a sharp, clean pair of scissors or a razor blade. Make sure to take a cutting that is at least 3-4 inches long, with at least 2-3 sets of leaves.
  • Remove any leaves that would be submerged in water.
  • Prepare a container with water and add a rooting hormone to it. Dip the cutting into the rooting hormone before placing it in the container.
  • Place the cutting in the container of water, making sure that the leaves are not submerged.
  • Keep the container in a warm, well-lit area with temperatures between 70-75°F.
  • Keep the water fresh by changing it every 2-3 days.
  • After about 7-10 days, roots should begin to form on the cutting. Once the roots are about 1 inch long, the cutting can be transplanted into a hydroponic growing medium or soil.
  • Care for the newly rooted cutting as you would a regular cannabis plant.
  • Remember that cloning cannabis plants using the hydroponic method can be a bit tricky, so it's important to keep a close eye on the cutting and make sure that it's developing roots properly. If the cutting doesn't develop roots within 2 weeks, it's best to start over with a new cutting.
