Ok so some updates with pics to follow
right well i was training and bending... and i accidentally snapped a leader..... so i thought i would see if i could use it as a clone and just see if it survives..i doubt it but we will see
i have no experience with clones... i have no rooting hormone.. or cloning gel, clonex or anything like that
So i took the casualty and i cut the stem at a 45 degree angle then roughed up the outer edges of the stem....then I stuck it in some soil/compost ive had sitting about from my veg garden.
After given it a bit too much water the pot was wholly saturated and the soil like swamp mud ha oops i covered it with a tatty plastic bag and to help keep humidity in and placed it in my only cab under the red cfls on 12/12
So it wasnt looking promising for my clone... no specialist equipment no propagator, no cloning gel or rooting hormone just a mediocre compost....too much water and a plastic bag ha...
however here she is still alive 4 or five days later and she hasnt drooped once.. i hardly believe it... she has started to show pre-flowers... being in my cab under red cfls on 12/12 with a plastic bag on top to help keep in humidity.... ha such a bodge but its worked...
now obviously.. success rate and speed of recovery maybe/will be improved with all the equipment and solutions.... but this does go to prove that it can be done with literally just a healthy plant and some good soil... no special techniques or equipment needed really
will post pics up soon
