However, it seems the altered growth patterns only exist for the first few weeks after the switch to the vegetative stage, which can be a good or a bad thing depending on how the plant is trained. The changes in growth from monstercropping also seems to have a varying effect depending on the strains grown. In any case, you can override how your plant grows naturally if you use plant training!

Collection tray: As mentioned, those leaves you snipped off can be put to good use later. Have yourself a collection tray on hand for easier stashing. There are two main methods of cannabis trimming: wet and dry. The one you go with will depend on preference and available resources. Primarily, the difference between the two is in the timing. Changing Type of Grow Light– I’ve seen re-vegging happen when moving a cannabis plant from the sun to LEDs, or changing from HPS grow lights to LEDs. Trimming as needed means you move at your own pace. That also means there’s less pressure on you to keep a watchful eye on your trimming schedule.

If possible, give a potential mother less nitrogen then usual when feeding for a week or two before cloning as this will promote better rooting in her clones. Regular flowering nutrients work well. Next, place buds (loosely) inside your chosen container. Although wide-mouth mason jars are ideal, any airtight container is suitable. Fill the jars until there's a small gap at the top, and make sure you aren't crushing or compacting buds unnecessarily.

Pruning shears: This will be your primary tool of the trade. A pair of curved scissors should fit well around the bud’s base. But if you want a cheaper option, bonsai scissors are your best bet. If you’re not a fan of rubbing alcohol for whatever reason, there are other ways to clean your trimming scissors. White vinegar is another option you can use that involves the same process. Every experienced grower has their own grow style, and over time as you get exposed to more info, you will begin to finely tune your personal grow style. If you do plan to dip your cuttings, take your cuttings from the water and dip your newly scrapped cutting immediately into rooting hormone powder or gel to seal off air bubbles and give your cutting what it needs to start making roots. Some growers will use gel and then powder afterwards to get the best of both.Cannabis clones are cuttings from a marijuana plant – these cuttings make roots of their own and grow into an identical plant as the “mother!” Glass jars are the typical go-to, with most growers keeping buds in the same jars they used for curing. The only watch-out is sunlight exposure, so keep your container in a cool, dark, and dry location to maintain bud integrity.

After harvest, you will know which plants had the best yields, growth, etc. Keep the clones you took from these best plant(s). These clones will become your “mother” plants which you can take further clones from whenever you need new babies. If you're a weed grower who's previously overlooked drying and curing, don't worry. With a few minor considerations—all of which are straightforward and require little to no extra commitment, other than time—you can dry your buds to perfection. Finally, if you still find that too many of your clones turn yellow, you may want to switch to another cloning method and see if your results change. Some growers find they’re more successful cloning with one method than another.

Your Guide to Cloning a Cannabis Plant

The best AirPods Pro alternative we've tested in the upper mid-range price point are the Nothing Ear (2) Truly Wireless. These earbuds have a stem design similar to AirPods' and even come in white if you also like the look of Apple earbuds. More importantly, they have a well-balanced sound profile, so your audio has the right amount of rumble and body, while instruments and voices are clear and bright-sounding. Unlike AirPods, they offer an in-app EQ and presets for sound customization. There's also a feature meant to customize the sound based on the shape of your ears. Take your cutting and immediately put it inside the water. Trim its lower leaves so they are not sitting in the water.

Also, we recommend lightly moistening your medium before you start cloning. Just remember not to overdo it; clones like high humidity and a slightly moist medium, but they'll rot in a medium that’s drenched. Select a Cutting Training techniques that involve damaging plants, such as pruning or taking cuttings, inflict considerable stress, and thus plants will need time to recover. Because of that, methods like monster cropping are used on photoperiod cannabis strains only. If you’re all about growing for personal use, you can trim your buds only as needed. Essentially, you do the snipping just before you’re about to smoke.

Ok, so you want to take clones during the vegetative stage if possible, yet how do you choose the best mother plants that will give you the most potent buds and greatest yields? You don’t know how the plant is going to turn out yet since she’s still in the vegetative stage. Changing Hands– When a plant is sold, traded, or otherwise changes hands, it’s not unusual to see signs of revegging if the plant is changing light schedules, and just going through the stress of a changing environment. Some cloning gels come with a handy applicator tip, which makes it easier to use and reduces waste and the chance of contamination. Then there’s the citrus peel option. In a small bowl, mix equal parts coconut oil and baking soda, then add a citrus peel of your choice. Clones from flowering plants may grow more “bushy” than their parent plant, and will often show other strange growing patterns especially in the first few weeks after being cloned (for example rounded leaves). It’s completely normal for clones taken during the flowering stage to have weird leaves and growth patterns for the first few weeks.
