How many cuttings do you get from a mother plant?

If you want to grow fast-growing plants, you can take up to fifty cuttings a week from a well developed mother plant.

How many clones can you get off a mother?

This depends on the size, health, and age of your plant. We recommend taking only 2–3 clones at a time from small, young mother plants. Large, bushy mother plants, on the other hand, can easily tolerate having 6–8 clones taken from them at a time.

How many clones can you get off one plant?

Grow plants to approximately 12 inches tall and completely strip off any clones. (This process can yield about six to eight clones per plant; about 48 to 56 total.)

How many watts does a mother plant need?

A spray bottle. Gentle fluorescent or full-spectrum LED lighting, 12 to 18 watts per tray. A thermometer.

How long before you can clone a mother plant?

Take clones from mother plants that are at least two months old and in the vegetative growth stage. Clones from mother plants that are less than two months old may develop unevenly and grow slowly. Clones taken from flowering plants root quickly but require several weeks to revert to vegetative growth.

Do clones or seeds yield more?

A plant grown from seed is capable of yielding more than a cloned offspring. Most plants grown from seed naturally produce a tap root, whereas plants grown from clones are unable to do so. Growing from seed also lessens your chances of inheriting any pests or diseases from a cutting.

Can a plant live forever with cuttings?

If you get a cutting off of a grafted plant, it could live longer or it could live shorter. If you take a cutting from a tree that grows in the wild, it will have a life expectancy that is equal to its parent.

Can you keep a mother plant alive forever?

How do you grow cannabis from a cutting?

By taking a cutting from the plant, you can make roots grow on the stem, and replant it like it was a plant of its own. This plant will then continue to grow and can be flowered like any other plant. You can preserve numerous phenotypes, on one mother plant, by grafting different strains, to it. See our guide on cannabis plant grafting.

When can I take cuttings from my plants?

If you’re growing from seed, we recommend taking cuttings from each of your plants once they’re about 2–3 weeks into their vegetative phase. Wait for the cuttings to root and give them at least two weeks of vegging time before you bring them to flower (all while keeping your seed-grown originals in vegetation).

Can you root cuttings from too many flowers?

In fact, too many flowers can actually hinder the ability of a cutting to root itself. Finally, the parent plant should be large enough that taking cuttings will not harm it. Fill a clean pot or container with soilless potting mix to hold the stem cutting for rooting.
