How to take cuttings from a cannabis plant
When there is a wealth of information out there about growing cannabis plants from seeds, it might seem a little strange to be talking about taking cuttings.
So, why would you take cuttings from a cannabis plant?
Well, To grow more plants of the same quality as the “mother”.
Growing cannabis plants from seed can produce varying results, whereas taking cuttings and using them to grow new plants takes all the risk and guesswork out of the equation.
The process of taking cuttings from one plant to create new plants is called cloning, which is a word you may already be familiar with.
First, you need to choose a female plant that is hardy, growing rapidly, with great yields, large roots, and strong buds.
Sativa plants are better than Indica plants and best for taking cuttings from.
You can use an indoor or outdoor plant, but to get the best results, grow the cuttings in the same environment as the mother.
You should then take your cuttings when the mother plant is in a vegetative state as opposed to when it is flowering, as the cuttings will take root more successfully.
Choose a branch from lower down on the mother plant, and with a very sharp knife, or secateurs, and make sure to clip it at an angle as this will help it absorb water and root more easily.
If you cut the branch with a blunt blade, you will crush as opposed to cut the fibres, which will stop the branch from taking root.
Each branch should be between six and eight inches long and should have at least one pair of leaves left on it, allowing two new branches to sprout from it.

Who makes parts for yt vids
Thank you
Apart from the misinfo on strain type good vid.
I’ve tried to do like five clones so far none of them have work but I have one that I think might be working but I’m not sure if it actually has roots or the stem is just coming apart
Just got ClonEx and a clone machine.
First time on your channel. It’s very well laid out and easy to navigate. I was looking for a video that shows your growing skills. Cloning is always a good one to start with in that regard. I stopped the video at 1:12 when you suggested taking cuttings from the bottom. Earlier within that 1:12 you mentioned Sativa being easier to clone that Indica. That’s splitting hairs on the highest level. Why would you ever concern yourself much less a new grower with such information? 👎
MY QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU TAKE A CUTTING OF A PLANT THAT YIELDS GOOD BUDS???,,,,,IF YOU HAVEN’T GOT A FLUX CAPACITOR ,,,
🆔️🔞&👍tell me why sativa plants are better than indica..you blew right there. No tips on something I have been doing yearly since 1995..not nice to mislead people..if I am wrong please tell me..its like that..
I want the male plants that leaves have a strong smells. Its better than the females as the females we have to wait for the bud to smoke but the males leaves are better to smoke here. So i will go to my friends house to get cutting from male plants. I cant take the seeds it ll again produce the female ones.
Great job in explaining how growing is nothing to be frightened of which is vital to encourage new growers who are baffled by science 👍can I ask When you say grow cuttings in same space as mother, does it matter if mother is in quite a dry environment . How important is humidity dome, etc?
Cloning is way harder to me
How do you know if it’s a good high yield mother plant if your taking cutting from it in veg ??
How do u tell male from female
I had a friend mentioned that after taking a cutting submerge the cutting in a very light solution of rooting hormone and water and then cut the plant again underwater so that the plan does not absorb air and create a small air bubble in the stem. This has increased success rate by about 5-10% for me
How do I tell a plant is female before it flowers?
Another one, stop the fucking music, it adds nothing.
You should always have a mother plant that stays in vege ( 18/6) and just keep picking clones.
I guess based off how the plants grows in veg and taking the strongest looking plants?
Don’t overspray or you get stemrot.
Hey please help me. i have cutted too earlier and its not making me high after smoke please help me
