Garden Cloning questions. (Not weed)

Hey guys, I was wondering if it is possible to clone any plants from my garden. I have quite a few plants. I wanted to experiment cloning something and growing it in a hydro system for expirementation. Is there any plants that can be cloned?

Any plant can. Do it the same way as with weed.

Oh Really? That's what I was assuming but didn't know. Thanks. Can it be done without rooting solution and all that?

It is best to use routing solution or powder, cut the clones at the point where the second set of leaves are, remove the botom leaves place in routing powder or liquid place in you medium and cover them with a clear plastic shell ( a tent )keep the medium moist at all times, remember they have no routes so they take in water thru the leaves keep them warm you could use a heater to keep the ( tent ) warm abt 70 or 80 degrees ask your local garden supplier for a propagation blanget when you see the routes coming, gradualy raise the tent and let them breath for a while, eventually you will be able to remove them and grow them as usual. Good luck and have patiance not all clones will take but eventually you get the hang of it. Smoke one for me OK ?

Lmao. This thread I actually wasn't talking about weed, just trying to get informed about getting good at growing other plants in general ya know? I picked up this thing at a nursery, its a Germination, and seedling tent type thing. it has about 30 Small Pots connected for soil, , and then the clear cover goes on top. Then the heat pad goes underneath, to create a constant humid temperature. Would this work with clones?

Some plants root from cuttings MUCH more easily than others. Geraniums, for example, you almost can't stop those things from rooting.

Yes, that device sounds perfect for any type of cuttings or clones (I haven't figured out why pot growers call pot cuttings clones, and everyone else who gardens calls them cuttings or slips).

I just learned that you could do it from learning about marijuana so I call it cloning. I could take some pics of it, and post them later. It's sitting in my shed right now, and its dark outside, so i wouldn't be able to see, so it'll have to be done tommorrow. I think it was called germination station, but it is for Germination, and Seedlings.

I'm not trying to crack on you, I just find the difference in terminology odd. For instance, what we call "topping" isn't actually topping as defined in any other gardening context, it's pruning.

Oh ya, I didn't take it that way, I was just saying how I learned to call it cloning. Haha. I read up on some sites about cloning some plants, and I noticed they all called it topping too. Haha. With the liquid rooting solution, would I mix it with the water? And with the powder, would I mix it with the soil, or again the water? I'll go out tommorrow, and see what I have in my yard, and try cloning for expirementation. I just want to get the feel for plants, and how they react to certain things, and hopefully have lots of helpful educating trial and error.

I've never used a liquid or gel rooting hormone, just the powders. You dip the plant INTO the powder, then carefully tap off the excess. I think your little germination tray will make it a whole lot easier for you to get different cuttings going. I have a sister who landscaped an entire house's property just from cuttings and divisions (and everyone gets a handful of chicken poop).

Wow. That's pretty neat. Should take some pics of what i've done with some of my plants outside.

Spida:
Do not dilute the rooting compound be it liquid or powder. Just dip the cutting in the solution then place it in your germination tent, in a few weeks you should start to see some roots.
