I usually have extra cuttings when I trim. I leave them in a little vase of water on my kitchen counter under the little cupboard light changing the water out a couple times a week. They last forever like this and even make roots in the water if you leave them long enough. I would think keeping them in the crisper would wilt them with no light and water

The cuttings keep as good as the day you put them in. I thought it was odd when I first heard about it and put some in just to see and they kept perfect for a month, some people keep them 8 weeks.

I have rooted cuttings in water but I don't think they rooted as well but it has been a long time since I'v used clones. A very long time.
I use to keep clones of a Hawaiian strain that was bought through the early seed company. Plus a couple of local strains. It's been over 25 years since growing any clones.

I use to love that Hawaiian strain, great flavor and big flowers. Grew without problems, the only downside was the flowering period. It was not good for a cash crop but personal smoke, oh yeah.

I've kept unrooted cuttings for weeks in a plastic bag in the crisper. I've read of some who have kept them for up to 8 weeks.
Your flowering crop is looking good Sub

I've got some cuts I took over 8 weeks ago in the fridge. I'll give them another month or so and see how they look. It was my first time trying that method but I wanted extra backups of a couple of my clones so figured wtf.

Are they in a zip lock with water?

I’ll admit I’ve never heard of it.

I’ll admit I’ve never heard of it.

The person that told me about said to put them into a bag and every once and a while open the bag and blow your breath into it and put them back. That's it.

I wrapped a damp paper towel around the cut stems. Then put the cuts in a paper towel tube. And then into a gallon freezer Ziplock. You guys got me really curious. I'm temped to check them out now. It's my first time trying it so I wouldn't be surprised if they look like shit, lol.

Maybe I'll open them and check them out after I'm done watering and lollipopping my closet.

When you do open them, post a pic, I’d like to see them. Very interesting. You know veggies will continue to grow in the crisper. So I can see it being possible.
I do know you can keep them on the kitchen counter in a glass of water for months If the fridge thing don’t work and you don’t mind a cute reefer decoration in your kitchen. Thanks for posting this

I'll open them and post a pic in a couple hours, after I get a couple things done. I don't have as good of luck with the water in a glass thing. Coco works better for me for some reason.

And I too like a few kitchen decorations,

Should be just the cut stem wrapped

I've grown Twenty20mendocino "The Spice" before. Mine turned out to be a nice smoke with a mixed spice flavor. I got notes of nutmeg and cloves and a little pepper. It was a nice balanced high.

did you put the end of the stems into a wet paper towel or anything similar?
I´ve had good luck keeping kitchen herbs in the fridge but I put them into a jar of water. I store them upright in the fridge door and they keep for much, much longer than outside at room temps

 

[SubGirl]

These were left on my countertop in water. They had been in there for over three months. There is no doubt that they would last forever like that. As you can see, they eventually make roots too

What are you putting in the water

What are you putting in the water

It’s just city water from my kitchen sink. I change it out about once or twice a week.

That’s good to hear. I’ve not run into anyone that grew it. Did you happen to keep a grow journal? With pics?

I usually cut and stick into sunshine mix nothing else but water.
In a dome on a heat pad roots in two weeks or less 99.9% of the time.

I used to keep snips in baggies in the crisper. I could get them to root after a month.

All good unless you don’t need them right now but will in a few weeks when your tent is empty. Makes for an easy way to keep them at bay until you’re ready for them.

Checking the trichomes today. Mostly cloudy on both strains.
