By Mike ,25 Jul 2014I am using fluorescent light and am curious to know what distance clones should be from lights. I'm getting that they don't need a ton of light until the roots start growing? I don't want to overheat them by having […]Read More

By groovin ,25 Jul 2015Hey Mike. To answer your question, cfl lights emit a rather low heat, at least compared to other types of lighting. Generally to over heat or burn the plant with cfl's, the leaves or stems would actually have to touch […]Read More

By latewood ,31 Jul 2015Laura, I am not much on home remedies. Hoever; Greenhouse farmers spray diluted milk on plants with powdery mildew. If you continue to just put anything all over your plant, you are going to run into issues. Neem oil will […]Read More

By latewood ,15 Sep 2015Jeffrey, All you can do is keep them in vegetative photo period all winter. Perhaps clone these when they get too big. For the amount of %%% you are wasting; I woudl find a way to do an indoor grow.

By Tami ,12 Sep 2015How large are your clones? And where are you located? Here in NoCal, we are having an unusually warm Sept. I just planted some "teenage clones" yesterday, in an area where they get maximum light. Although these clones won't be […]Read More

By latewoodl ,28 Sep 2015That depends on how long it will stay warm enough. You need 4 months to finish a grow. I advise you to join out Support Forum. There we have many growers that live out your way, and they can advise […]Read More

By Walter White ,01 Oct 2015The cloning article suggests that the clones should be remove from a plant that is at least two months old. Please explain why. Thank you.
-
By latewood ,02 Oct 2015It takes approximately 2 months for a MMJ plant to mature. The clones take on the age of the Mother plant, and thus, if you cloned to early, your yield could suffer for it. :)

-
By latewood.ILGM ,04 Jan 2016All auto flower plants flower right away. We do not clone auto flowers. If you want to start a clone program; I recommend getting feminized seeds and sexing a Mom in order to start a clone program.

By latewood.ILGM ,24 Aug 2016I am sorry. I had a typo. A "CFL" is a compact fluorescent lamp.

By latewood.ILGM ,11 Oct 2016dave, Size of the clones does not really matter, as long as you have a couple nodes below top in order to promote root growth. Happy growing :)

By latewood.ILGM ,11 Oct 2016Jasp3r, You should really join our support forum. This is a clone article. I will gibe you something. Plants will not bloom outdoors until the days are short enough to cause flowers to show. Plants from seed do not always […]Read More

By Big Bud Kitten ,11 Jan 2017Wondering about transporting clones? Can you move them from one location to another with a stabilized temperature inside the transport van be ok?
-
By latewood_ILGM ,12 Jan 2017Big Bud Kitten, Moving clones is simple. They should be moist, and not stored or transported in any normal temperature range. Not too cold, and not too hot. Happy growing :)

By Alex ,18 Apr 2017Can you clone Gold Leaf's, I was going to try on my current flowering ones but I might wait for my next to round?
-
By Clonify ,28 May 2017Great information! We use basically these same steps when doing our clones.
-
By David ,19 Jul 2017Hi. You did not say to cut the plastic off from around it. I would assume I would need to do that when transplanting, right?
-
By latewood.ILGM ,21 Jul 2017David, Plastic around what? hmmm... Let me do some mind reading; Can I assume you are talking about rockwool cubes? If so, yes you remove the wrapper when you transplant. Hope this is what you wanted to know :)

By Noel espinoza ,18 Oct 2017This is my first time cloning but my friend.gave me.clones.that been in soil.for about 3weeks already when do they start to fower
-
By latewood_ILGM ,12 May 2018Noel espinoza, They do not flower unless you induce flower by changing light photo period from 18/6 to 12/12 You should veg for at least a month before inducing flower. The longer you veg the larger yield you will have.

By DrBelem ,09 May 2018Nice article that explains all types with easy way to understand each step. But I saw one small mistake when you guys talk about cloning in water. You describe that we would have to use water with EC 5.8. But […]Read More

By latewood_ILGM ,12 May 2018Chris, Evidently you did something wrong. Try one of the proven methods described here and if you continue to fail, come see us at support.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com
-
By Suki ,10 May 2018I am very naive about this. Why clone if your plant produces seeds? Or are they programmed to not produce seeds?
-
By latewood_ILGM ,12 May 2018Suki, I suggest you download and read our free grow bible. Unless you are breeding you do not want to pollinate and produce seeds. Seeded plants are low in THC due to spending all the energy producing seeds. We clone […]Read More

By Burley ,14 Feb 2019Only'real' issue was the clones started flowering VERY low @ the net pot level & they struggled staying upright. Did I cut them too high on the mother plant?
-
By latewood ILGM ,20 Mar 2019Burley, It is hard for us to say where you sliced the cuttings. Best to join our support forum, and we can show you how to clone successfully

By Rena ,11 Mar 2019Thank you so much following your instructions makes it easy.

By Rena ,15 Mar 2019This is very helpful as I am trying to clone for the 1st time
-
By Rena ,17 Mar 2019This is a great guide for cloning since it's my 1st time. 1 question when you say wrap your cutting and keep in dark what do you wrap in and do you unwrap to water? Thank you
-
By latewood ILGM ,20 Mar 2019Rena, I am not sure what you mean by wrap. I went through the article and could not find mention of wrapping anything. In the dark (relating to photo period) is a matter of choice; Or, there Was A Mention […]Read More
-
By Brian ,07 May 2020Rena is correct... Robert did mention wrapping... "Your new cutting should be wrapped and kept in the dark. This method is called etiolation..." However, he did not elaborate. I also posted a question asking for clarification.
-
By Rena ,17 Mar 2019Looking to see if I received answer
-
By Brian ,07 May 2020Hi Rena, this is such an old article I suspect Robert doesn't view the comments anymore.
-
By Dan ,03 Oct 2019Hi ILGM, I have a question ? does cloning reduce the potency of the plant & can you take a clone from a clone.
-
By latewood_ILGM ,17 Oct 2019Dan, No. Cloning actually can help increase potency because the plant adapts to your method of growing and potentially has less stress. Yes. You can clone form a clone.
-
By Tom ,19 Oct 2019Why would you give a clone flowering fertilizer? I start giving my clones vegetative growth fertilizer to promote root growth...I don't want my clones to Flower... you got it backwards

By Neil ,27 Mar 2020Will cloning From a Clones Plant Over Time Affect The Quality of The Plants ... Like Taking a Photocopy of a Photocopy it Slowly gets Lighter In Color??
-
By Brian ,07 May 2020Hi Neil, he mentioned in the article that over time each generation is more susceptible to disease. Other authors also mention genetic defects (leaves curling sideways, triplet nodes, etc) increase in likelihood with each cloned generation.
-
By Brian ,07 May 2020Hi Robert, you wrote... "Your new cutting should be wrapped and kept in the dark. This method is called etiolation..." but then you don't mention etiolation again or show photos of exactly what you mean. Can you please elaborate? Thanks!

By Dean ,19 Dec 2020Do you actually clip the leaves of the cutting at the time of putting it in root gel then medium?
