Cutting Precautions
This may seem obvious, but you must use healthy cannabis plants to take cuttings. The health of the plants “mother” marijuana as much success you have with your clones. You should take some more cuts than necessary and then choose the best to use and discard those that are not healthy.
Need leaching from the cannabis plant nursery (s) to water heavily, adjust the pH of pure water (no fertilizer), two or three days before taking cuttings. This is an important step because the nitrogen stored in the cannabis plant retard rooting.
Decide what you plan to use the medium. Most people use either Rockwool or Oasis cubes, which are probably the easiest to use, because they are pre-formatted, and has already cut a hole in them. However, you can use various means, such as success, use plastic cups cut holes in the ground to keep coconut, mix of perlite and vermiculite or other loose type growing media. Do not use the normal dirt or turf, remain too wet and rot the stem cutting. You must be pre-wetting the medium before you use a pH balanced water. Distilled water is best to use, but no good source of water projects. (NOTE: Most of the substrates must be soaked in pH 6 and pH 7 water, rock wool is soaked for 24 hours with water provided a pH of 4.5 to 5).
Make holes in the top of the growth medium, which is about the same size or slightly smaller than the stem cuttings. You do not want to force the break in the growth medium.
It is important that you sterilize before you start, because cuttings are very susceptible to fungi, viruses and diseases until they root. Use of alcohol on the hands, the razor blade and cutting block. glass to rinse liquor (or whatever you use) with alcohol, dried and then fill 3 / 4 full with rooting hormone and set aside for the moment.
Work quickly but carefully. In making the cut separating the clone of the mother, must put it in rooting hormone as quickly as possible to prevent air from entering the stem. Please take care not to cut with a razor blade.
