Hi, Have any of you ran across the CNN Article about A Mexican strain breed to Regenerate from the roots?

LAZARO CARDENAS, Mexico - Soldiers trying to seize control of one Mexico's top drug-producing regions found the countryside teeming with a new hybrid marijuana plant that can be cultivated year-round and cannot be killed with herbicides.Soldiers fanned out across some of the new fields Tuesday, pulling up plants by the root and burning them, as helicopter gunships clattered overhead to give them cover from a raging drug war in the western state of Michoacan. The plants' roots survive if they are doused with herbicide, said army Gen. Manuel Garcia.
"These plants have been genetically improved," he told a handful of journalists allowed to accompany soldiers on a daylong raid of some 70 marijuana fields. "Before we could cut the plant and destroy it, but this plant will come back to life unless it's taken out by the roots."

The new plants, known as "Colombians," mature in about two months and can be planted at any time of year, meaning authorities will no longer be able to time raids to coincide with twice-yearly harvests. These plants have been genetically improved
The hybrid first appeared in Mexico two years ago but has become the plant of choice for drug traffickers Michoacan, a remote mountainous region that lends to itself to drug production.
Yields are so high that traffickers can now produce as much marijuana on a plot the size of a football field as they used to harvest in 10 to 12 acres. That makes for smaller, harder-to-detect fields, though some discovered Tuesday had sophisticated irrigation systems with sprinklers, pumps and thousands of yards of tubing.
"For each 100 (marijuana plots) that you spot from the air, there are 300 to 500 more that you discover once you get on the ground," Garcia said.
i'm only growing bag seed for now on
i knew these mexican had good gennetics
and they soound lije they are heavy indica
they'l prolly being sold as mids

Root propagating works. I've been doing it for years at my horticulture operation. Not every type of plant will propagate from roots. But MJ does fine. I can also tell you that the indicas pop better from roots than the sativas. I just plop my roots down in a bucket, stirr it up a little bit, and spray it with water until its damp, then I put a piece of black poly sheeting cut in a nice circle down on the soil, with about .5 inches around the edge of the plastic to ensure air flow. Yes, make the bucket warm, about 78 degrees is perfect. If you use a little superthrive in your spray bottle you can get roots to sprout in about 3-4 weeks. You can use a clean scissors to chop the edge of the mother's root ball right into the buckets. One mother can make many buckets worth of clones. I cut the roots in about 1 inch pieces as I'm chopping. I can sell a 4-incher grown from this method for about 10 bucks a piece. Makes for a pretty good side show.

with all do respect
show and prove
we are way past talking about it on this thread
you dig
either post some pics of the step by step tranformation
or stfu

A little on the rude side lol but i do agree, WERE'S THE PICS? i have a couple plants right now but this summer i will be moving into a house and not an apt so i want to go full scale and help some people out with clones while im at it. so this root propagation sounds interesting. We had this happen in one of my friends rental houses, we cleaned it all up and in the basement were some pots with just dirt in them ( Like the plant was just ripped out) Anyway the garden in the back yard yard needs some dirt so i just dumped it out there and my friend told me he had to go out there couple months later and rip out a bunch of little plants! i thought it was hilarious and kept it in the back of my head for a way to get ALOT of clones

I'm with 5 on the pics. Kinda reminds me of that monkey ass person claiming to be able to clone from a leaf then grow a plant out of it.

So basically they literally turned marijuana into a grass?(In terms of how it can survive) Really though that seems dangerous to environment, imagine with how many seeds a plant can produce how fast a strain like that would take over.

Wasn't trying to hate on Mexico! I live just a hop skip and jump from T.J.! What I was saying, how many breeders are in the regions I mentioned? I would have surely thought that in some places that where it was/is legal to grow (be it for medical or not) it would be nice to have a strain that actually did this (especially for outdoors). If Mexico did accomplish this then kudos for sure. Then again, yeah I wonder what kind of impact that could have on an ecosystem. Always something to consider.

yeah but what i was trying to get you to understand
is never underestmate anyone based on race, culture, religion, or what you where lead to believe on how they live
do you realize if you where to make a salad
90% of th veggies you would put in it come from mexico farm
and you really think they cant master a simple urb (fyi. most of our urbs come from there also)
or do you think we or someone else (other then mexico farms) stablize and master genes of fruit and veggies then we are kind enuff to send them the strains we would like for them to grow for us
because they are not smart enuff or advanced enuff to figure out how to isolate strains to grow for uniformity

who really cares this is what we want
to over grow the government
here these guys have made a strain that root system is resistant to "weed killer"
who care
with all the 1,000 uses for weed
it will never grow out of control (if this was what you were thinking)
get to makeing hemp product
if they cant kill it they would have to acknowledg it

Hey guys
This root cloning idea recently occurred to me after seeing how well it works for the weeds in my garden. I was pointed to this thread after mentioning it in my grow journal and I've just finished reading through.
Great thread Hobbes.
I'm really surprised nobody has managed to crack it yet, and I'm still sure it can be done, we just need to find the key. I'm loving the fact that so many have had the curiosity and patience to try it out even though there's no real reason to do so.
I'm interested because I don't have room for a clone op and I run my lights on permanent 12/12, so I'm looking for a way to clone without the need for 18/24 hour lights if such a thing exists.
I guess from what's been posted the usual methods don't work in the same way they do for other plants so I'll try a few different things and see if any work. My growspace is only a square foot so I'm not sure where I'll put them
My first thoughts are to maybe put some roots in the fridge for a couple of days to simulate that dormant period & then into the growroom.
Now and again I get roots forming forming on the stem and growing down into the soil. I call them anchor roots and it makes sense these would also be good candidates to try.
Got a few other thoughts but I think I may need to get some pure landrace genetics to test them properly, because all the seeds I buy have prolly been bred in hydro for decades and don't really represent wild weed anymore.
I'll post any findings. Good luck everyone.
