Cutting Steps
Cannabis plant cuttings requires important steps to follow. Otherwise the plant can be destroyed and we will get nothing. The important steps involved in the cannabis plant cutting are as follows.
1. Take a growing tip from your cannabis plant 3″ to 6″ long with at least one leaf internode, two is better but not always possible.A leaf internode is where the leaf connects to the stem.
2. With a Sharp single edge razor blade, carefully cut off one or two leaves (or small branches) flush with the stem.
3. Make a cut approximately 1/4″ below the internode(s) where you just trimmed the leaves. Cut at a 45 to 60 deg. angle. Hold the back-up block behind the stem where you are going to cut, hold block tightly against the stem, this supports the stem and protects your fingers. Make this cut as quick and clean as you can, you do not want to tear or crush the cannabis stem.
4. Quickly insert the cutting into the rooting hormone. If you are using a liquid hormone you can let the cutting soak for 30-60 seconds.
5. Insert the cutting into the growing medium do not push the cutting all the way thru the medium, leave room for the roots to develop. Make sure that the cut(s) you made at the leaf internode(s) are below the surface of the growing medium.
6. Gently pack the growing medium up against the cutting. Make sure there is good contact between the cutting and the growing medium.
