"I wish I'd taken a clone... I'm gonna try re-vegging the plant"
Every time I hear it I'm surprised at how few people are aware of how easy this is to do, and how far out of control the myth has gotten that flowering, even fully budding plants, are harder to clone than vegging ones.
A lot of the time you just can't or won't or don't dedicate the time and space to re-vegging a whole plant, so you cut your losses and move on.
There's no need.
There's no cut off point for cloning. None. Not even chop day.
I do this all the time and I haven't found a plant to this day which doesn't respond the same way.
Last week I had a look in on my girls. I got one Humboldt seeds OG kush freebie recently and it's one of the only girls I didn't clone.
Now it's near to harvest day and it's a stocky nice yielding plant, with some nice kushy greasy funk going on. I like it, so I'm gonna grow her again. She deserves it.
So, 7 weeks in... what to do?
All I do is cut a bud from a lower branch with an air bud on it.
This is she...
After 12 days she has rooted and begun to search out the pot she's in.
That photo was just taken now. I decided to document how the plant will re-veg from that little air bud, and what to expect from this point. And how fully vigorous and healthy it will become in just a few weeks.
I think people worry a clone loses vigor, or some other negative thing occurs when it is cloned like this. I had one fella a while ago argue blind with me that a plant never properly re-vegetates, or that not all plants will do. These are all myths. Every single plant I have ever done this way has been as big, strong, vigorous and healthy in every way from taste to strength to yield, as the plant it was taken from.
Apologies if a thread like this already exists. If it does, I haven't seen it.
I really believe people should be much more open minded to this procedure. It's really really simple.
I'll post back when she first starts to re-veg. Should only be days.
