Clone

Clones are cuttings taken from a mother marijuana plant that can be grown into genetically identical plants. Cloning skips the germination and sexing steps seeds require, ensuring consistent genetics. Clones need to develop roots before planting. Their genetic sameness provides consistency for consumers and growers.

“I like starting from clones instead of seeds. You know exactly what you’re getting genetics-wise.”

Cloning cannabis involves taking cuttings from a mother plant to produce genetic replicas. Clones are identical to their mother plant. Starting from clones skips germination and sexing seeds, saving time and effort. Clones must form roots before planting, which is often done using rooting hormone and cubes. Once rooted, clones are seedlings ready for the vegetative stage.

The main advantage of cloning is genetic consistency. Seeds always have some genetic variation, even between siblings. Cloning ensures each generation is identical. Consumers get the exact same product time after time. Growers can perpetuate desired traits without variation.
