Hey there Caprichoso! Great read! We too use the plain water method for cloning. We have used powders and gels and just didn't get consistant results But hey what ever works right! Keep up the great work here!

Cap- Have you thought of dipping the ends in honey before putting them in the water. From what I've read and was told by xxxblue that unprocessed honey has excellent rooting hormone qualities. I used it with typical plug cloning methods and found it to completly eliminate any clone shock, yellowing, and I saw roots in a week and a half after application. I was just curious if you think the honey would make any difference. You've got me thinking and I might test it out myself! Great read CAP! A+ Later OH

...to put this up last night to show you Caprischioso!

I had this really nice BMR male which I want some pollen from, but hes making me nervous at the grow,

so, I chopped him up and put all the branches in some water for a couple of hours!

then I wrapped them up in tissue around the stems and took em home, similar to these

I chose the best four branches and trimmed off what wasnt gonna ang over, and removed any bigger leaves!
theyre all like this...not as far along as urs wer, buit I hope it qwill keep em going til they drop it...and there is no way they can pollenate my grow when its a couple of miles away hahaha

now the whole lot is on my window(not at the front of the house facing the street , obviously!)



So, fingers crossed for a bit of pollen so i can make some F"'s huh!
thamnks to Caprischioso for doing this thread and showing this method off!
Nice one mate

That's excellent Harry! Is it working for you?

I'll finally be updating this thread since my last harvest. I've had a ton going on, including family in my house for a week, so the backlog of pics and posts on all the forums I belong too is impressive.

Well it looks like I havent posted update pics since the 14th of march, day 12. Well, the clones above are still sitting in their cups of water, coming up on day 55 now. The root systems are enormous on all of them except the biggest, which is about 3" long

Caprichoso this is brillient
I have only once managed to clone a plant succsefully.
I alays did it with a rooting powder that is supposedly supposed to make the plant root in soil and grow into a healthy plant. But then they always died - (except for once.)
Eventually I got so frustrated with trying to clone that I just stopped trying.

Now I will try this water method... I Dont know why it never occured to me before to try it like this- Every other house plant that has the ability to clone I took a cutting and put it into a glass of water, but somehow I missed it with weed. I think it has to do with missing the obvious. I was so busy rooting with rooting powder, and repotting and nutrients and what ever that a simple glass of water evaded me.


Thankyou for drawing mine and others attention to the simple excellent methods of life...
