    Default A Guide To Cloning & Revegging Flowering Plants

    OK, Hands up... Who's grown a strain out, harvested it, then after sampling the smoke wished they'd taken a cutting/clone?
    Yep, we've all done it.

    Hopefully this quick guide will show you that you can carry on a strain even when the plant has finished flowering...

    There are 2 ways to reveg your plants...

    Cloning.

    The clone below was taken from the lowest stem on the plant after the rest of the plant had been harvested.
    She was dipped in rooting hormone gel, placed in moist compost then put in a regular propagator under 24/0 CFL lighting.

    Here's how she looked on day 1...





    As you can see, she's just a regular little bud that is ready for smoking. But we don't want to smoke her, we want her to grow into a big, juicy plant just like her mother.

    She was placed in the propagator and sprayed maybe once every 3 days with regular tap water... nothing more.


    2 weeks on and we have the start of some growth... It's not a lot, just a single little new leaf growing out of the top of the bud. But at least I know that the clone has rooted and it's all systems go.





    ok, another 7-10 days on and more and more single-blade leaves are appearing. At this point she comes out of the propagator and sits under the CFL veg light with her cousins.
    Here's how she looks...





    All of the new leaves are single-blade which is perfectly normal... The 'regular' leaves will soon follow.
    I've now stopped spraying her as there's no need... the roots are taking in the water and food now, not the leaves.

    Another week on and her 'proper' leaves are starting to develop and the real growth starts...



    Here's how she looks a couple of weeks later after repotting, she's now a regular vegging plant.....



    And that's about it, she will now be kept under 24/0 lighting until I decide to flower her.
    I will repeat the process again after she's harvested.

    Complete Reveg.

    Revegging is just as simple as the cloning method.

    After harvesting a plant, leave a good few little stems/bud sites intact, as shown here...




    The soil is spent, all of the nutrients have been used up and it's possible that the soil now contains toxins, so it has to go.
    With a good carving knife I cut a circle around the stem about 3 inches away and slowly pulled the old root-ball out. Don't be too worried about damaging the roots as most of them will be removed anyway.
    After it's removed I gave the root ball a good trim. When I'd finished the remaining root-ball was about the size of my fist...



    The pot was filled with fresh compost and the root-ball placed in a hole in the middle...




    Lastly, the pot was topped up, watered with 2-3 litres of water and is now sitting in the veg room.
    In a couple of weeks the new growth will start.




    And that's about it...
    So if you feel you might want to carry on a strain, don't chop down the plant completely. Hack off the main colas, dry and sample them, but leave a couple of little stems at the base just-in-case.


    I hope this guide helps a few of you.

    Cheers fella.

    I've been smoking TrainWreck for the past couple of hours, so the fact that it's even readable is a bonus.

    Good stuff grub, much better idea than re-vegging the whole plant, maybe I could just do it with my Mango.

    All good things

    Thanks, handy info.

    I have some plants flowering right now so I could do this in a couple of weeks, just wondering though...my plants had 2 weeks veg max, so given that it is best to clone mature plants is it worth my while cloning my immature flowered plants.

    In fact i'lll probably just do it and see what happens i'm sure the result will be smokable.

    I wouldn't say it best to clone mature plants, infact I'd say that clones taken from healthy plants a few weeks into veg are probably more likely to succeed than trying to clone from a harvested plant.

    The fact that you didn't veg your plant for long doesn't matter mate. As long as you can find a nice little stem/bud to use as the clone you'll be fine.

    After reading this thread i went straight out today and bought some cloning gel,My thinking is I can cut ofF what will become a bud with stem on,from my bubblegum that's been in flower 12/12 for two weeks.Now can I continue to go 12/12 and grow what I think would be just a single cola,Something like forest has grown,or do I need to use a 24hour light a revert it back to a veg state befor then going to a 12/12.Sorry for the question grub,Thanks again

    Thanks grub. I'll give it a bash, the only thing that was stopping me was thinking my plants weren't suitable as they'd only vegged for 2 weeks, and when I read about cloning they say veg the plant 5/6 weeks to get good clones...ta for the reassurance, i'll be trying this in a couple of weeks

    The clone will grow just the same as the mother did mate. If the mother had lots of side-branches then the clone will follow suit. It is after all genetically exactly the same.
    It's best to start the clone off under veg lighting mate until it is established with some nice new growth. If you go 12/12 from the off now that you're in flowering the clone will not get much taller, it will just start budding and you'll end up with a 6" tall plant with one big bud.
