Cloning from Fan Leaves

Its possible that the fan leaf at the top impedes further node development like GrowTech has observed.. Tissue culture begins with no such obstacle.. The fact that a fan leaf can root proves that the tissue can undifferentiate, but perhaps it would need to be topped of sorts for further proper growth.. It would take a pretty resilient cutting if that is the case..

this thread is getting out of hand and needs to be killed. even if a fan leaf was going to sprout stems and nodes the time taken to do this would be extremely long, especially when you can grow a plant from seeds and have a few nodes in a matter of weeks. i,m not saying its impossible just pointless. all this thread is doing is bringin false hope to all the proper growers out there looking too expand there knowledge of the greatest plant in the world. there is no pictures for evidence. just stick to wat you know growers

And what happens if a fan leaf is all that remains of a killer strain??
hmm
if the genes in the marijuana plant are autonomous then yes, using a fan leaf will work. People have done this with tomatoes, and other model organisms.
Done right, it should work. You dont need nodes. But time for fan leaf genes to turn on (depending on concentration of that gene (side paratenthesis lol: anyone who has taken developmental biology will know what im talking about), and the HOX genes the plant) it may take really forever for the fan leaf to root.

why your ass with your fan leaf clones thats about all there good fo rsome one please kill this freaky frankinstine of a beast get it done kill kill kill close
found this on google
Leaf Cutting
In this type of cutting for cloning plants, the leaf blade itself is used to create a new plant. Usually, the cut leaf doesn't become a part of the new plant.
If the plant you are growing has particularly thick leaves, you can cut open the veins of the leaf and plant it flat into the growing medium, making sure to keep the cut leaf exposed to light and moisture. After a short period of time, new plants may begin to form where the leaf was cut open. The cut leaf will eventually dry up and rot away, even as the young plants thrive.
Another technique sometimes used is to take older, larger leaves and cut them into triangles, making sure each piece contains a large vein. The edges of the leaf, which usually contains no veins, should be thrown away. The triangles are then planted in the medium with the pointy side down. A new plant can then develop from the vein.
Be aware, however, that leaf cutting is very delicate, and only works with plants that are easily cloned.

it is totally possible IF you use (tissue culture).
the problem is that this is not what was claimed.
the claim was that you lay a leaf on the soil and it propagates.
not only did he make the claim he claimed he would prove it.
with images. of course we have yet to see it.
i think that considering the face not a single image of this method ever materialized proves it is b.s.
in addition if this guy was really cloning fan leaf as he claims he would be in the cover of high times.
and he is not

ill get right on it as soon as he shows us his pictures
it is one thing to throw claims out there it is something else to pull it off.
he claims to do it all the time
he claims he has a camera.
so is he gonna educate us or not???
i personally am waiting to be educated.
in th mean time ill be using the tissue culture method.

This what he said along with advanced nutrients...don't know if he'll be back...after bein run out of town.
But I'll give it a try and see what happens.
but I'll you the latter part...Another technique sometimes used is to take older, larger leaves and cut them into triangles, making sure each piece contains a large vein.

Wrong what he said is he always does this with cannabis a thin leafed plant.
i am sure you can do this all day long with jade plants but with cannabis???
look there is no doubt it can be done with the proper plant but cannabis is not that plant. i have yet to see it happen.
you can get a leaf to root but not shoot.. if someone does it ill be happy to see it happen.
show me a single workable clone from a fan leaf.
