Cool vide bro, I am going to start cloning for sure. Why not keep the best
producers and avoid seed all together! Thanks for sharing! Marty
@pup9et Since the plants were so close together, seperating the roots would
likely damage the plants and could kill them. Doing it this way you will
have to root the cuttings which does take time, but new suckers will grow
on the plants you cut and you could do this all again, giving you a year
round supply(if you grow indoors/ tropical climate).
Thanks for the video dude! I’m going to start cloning some cherry tomato
plants I’ve got running wild outside right now. I was curious as to the
method of cutting and rooting. This video helped. Thanks again
nope, the plants will be genetically identical
Peppers are in the nightshade family, so it should work. I would definitely
use the rooting hormone for peppers since they have a more woody stem
structure. Don’t forget to plant em’ deep.
hi mate and thanks for all your cool info, rockwool or fibreglass dont mix
well with fish apparently fibreglass is irritant to fish, keep up the good
work
they said not to use the rooting powder or gel a food or feed
@bobsbackyardcouk Good to know. Thx for the tip.
is a tomato from a clone plant any different from a tomato from the mother
plant?
@dynex60 Ive done side by side tests, rooting gel/powder shaves days off
and increases retention of water. The plant hormone in the gels are very
real, and trigger real growth its called indole-3-butyric acid and changes
the cells just under the skin into roots “the plant version of stem cells
basically” so you should keep your lack of any sense to yourself before you
teach newcommers wrong information.
It would also help the roots take faster if you make a second cut under
water and then make a small cut the long way or scrape off some of the stem
at the bottom before dipping it in hormones.
The only thing a rooting powder really does is prevent rotting. I’ve had a
clone develop about 15 one-inch roots in 3 days this way with the water
pretty warm.
Yeah… I just drop like 6 cuttings into a party cup with water and a bit
of cloning powder and keep it in a warm area. This way you don’t have to
have a humidity dome or spray them, Because they suck the water up much
easier than in a soil. Also make sure their not in too intense of light
because you want more of the energy to go to root production instead of
foliage growth.
Good video! I wonder if you can clone pepper plants?
I would put them under a fluorescent light, similar to the one in the
video. You dont have to have a dome if you spray the leaves with with water
several times a day. That helps the plant survive until it develops roots.
thanks for the comment.
