Tagging Clones for identification Writing on MJ with Magic Markers - Page 8 - Toker's Den - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

The Great Taggin Clones with Sharpie experiment has ended. Here are the results.

This worked great! 99% of the clones were easily identified with the Sharpie, rooted fine, no problems.

Sharpie marker held up just fine.

1% of the clones had a little problem. Their marked leaves died (normal) as they rooted. I had to look on the dead brown leaf for the marks! They were there! even on the dead leaf, it was still there the writing!

Only 2 clones lost their leaves and were unidentified...

Not too bad, cause I dropped the whole tray when cutting and they were all mixed up. Now if I had not written on them, I would have a whole tray with no idea who is who.

I think this is a successful experiment, and works well. I will continue doing this.

Thanks for the update Lola! I wondered how this was going.

I guess you could always remark one time after top growth has started, farther up the plant. Then you should not have to worry about losing leaves!

peace,

Ohh, this really cool. I like to read the professional thoughts of every single research, you can many know of this. Because I think it's necessary to be able to know something new of cloning science and especially in a narrow sphere - anthropogenesis, although it is in the distant future. It's cool understanding of the atmosphere "your discovers" and I can to learn more na how it happens, thanks.

FWIW... I just found some 5 year old stems.. still with varieties and plant ID in Sharpie Permanent marker clearly visible ..

I also buy kids art foam sheets in different colours, this, cut into tags, Sharpie if needed, expands with the stem as it grows, is inert and never messes the plant up.. except in high winds outdoors. Stays on the stem till after harvest, works great.
