But with cloning, you can ease the cultivating process and determine the high chances of getting a healthy plant. In this article, we have mentioned the steps that will give you top-quality cannabis. 

What Is Cannabis Cloning? 

Cloning is a process to proceed with the same genetics as the plant. It is regarded as the cutting of the plant and branches from the parent plant. The cloning process is delicate and ensures the progress of the genes by satisfying the grower. However, people are using this p[rpcess to prevent themselves from extra expense and effort. 

You can enjoy the same genes of the plant again and again by utilizing the cloning process. However, climate, environment, container, nutrition, energy sources, and many more are the basic factors that shape plant growth and quality. 

Steps to Clone Cannabis

Parent plant plays a critical role in determining the quality and growth of the cannabis clone, thus getting the clones from a healthy cannabis plant. Make sure to cut the plant at the vegetative stage, not at the flowering stage. 

• Collect the required tools to cut the mother plant, such as scissors, gloves, gel and powder to hormone the plant. 
• Wet the containers for moisturization. However, it’s the process that heals the clones and helps in the development of the clone’s root. 
• The most crucial process is the cutting of the plant. Cut the top root of the parent plant at 45° of the fifth node. It’s the ideal angle to cut the plant as it ensures the exchange of hormones. Make sure to cut the plant from a branch that already has several small branches. 
• Cut the plant evenly, not too big and small, as you need to plant it into a container. Choose the branch that is segmented into various branches—having 8-10 inches of length. It promotes the vertical and healthy growth of the plant. 
• Use the rooting hormones; it usually comes in gel and powder. Gently place the cloned part into a clean container with 2/3 to 4/3 depth. Rooting hormones promote the growth of the plant and ensure faster growth. 
• Now, place the cloned plant in a growing light, use CFL bulbs and do not expose them to direct sunlight.
