Rooting tops

[charli33]

Is it possible to have any success with getting a top you cut off to root ? If you have done this and had good success with it ,please share your method .... Thanks

 

[jondamon]

Yes it's possible.

Cut your top.

Dip it in rooting hormone.

Place into your chosen cloning medium. Rockwool/coco/soil etc

Place inside a humidity dome or keep humidity up in the 85% range.


7-14 days and you'll get roots.

Its just the same as cloning any other part.

As above. If more info is needed, just youtube a video on how to clone.

I do this all the time, as I keep my Mom plants at about 14" tall. A good 1/4 of my clones are from the top of my mother plants.

Every time I go from seed I seem to only end up with 3 viable plants so I clone the tops and some lowers and fill the one plant space in my room with the clones SOG style. Lol.

An experienced grower will be able to see that the clones in the back of my cloner are from the tops of healthy plants. I have +95% clone success rate, and I've never had a top fail to root on me.

Not sure what you're asking for?


If you're talking about plants that have been topped and then the tops cloned.

Then yes I do thanks. Lol.




Is that what you mean?

Three plants, three makeshift humidity domes (desert pots).

I don't even use rooting hormone lol.


9 days generally for first roots.

Here's how green they stay.

Yeah jondamon , when u take the top off the plant ,use it as clone and root it and grow it like a it would grow normally ... You already have a Lil start on it for real. So it makes since to root it and have another plant

The following pic is exactly day 28 flowering of a 'top' clone (clone that was rooted and immediately went to 12/12):



Chemdawg plant.

Hey spek. Do you know for sure that the pic is of Chemdawg? I recently grew some bag seed and ended up with growth that looks very similar to that cola. The pistils were very thick and cream colored. The yield nearly doubled the second place plant, so I'd love to know where those genetics came from.
