I have been taking clones to also plant outside and to be mothers to save the best plants. This one plant for some reason was not big enough when I did the other clones. So to remind myself I left a couple of tags in that pot. As I planted I found the tags, a big reminder for yourself, so I trimmed off some of the lower branches and brought them back with the leaves etc. Here are some pics of that and I will add some pics of my clones which will be planted outside also after I have veged them for a couple of weeks on 24 hr light under my T-5 in the next post, have to take them first! LOL! I was so tired I just plopped the branches into some water till I can trim them up and put them to root. Folks, don't stress about this. IF they have water, they will be fine, just like any plant trimming. They can live a couple of days or more this way, without being set to root as long as they have moisture. I have even read where people have kept cuttings for clones in the frig for a couple of weeks to keep them fresh and they worked. You just have to make sure you recut them and use lots of rooting hormone. I have even added the gel or powder to water when holding clones over. It can't hurt and can help. Right now my grow room is totally trashed. I have to clean it I know, and will but so much shifting around and work outside going on, as well as LIFE! I just can't do it all. So be kind and no cracks about the mess! Maybe I should clone myself! That would be kewl!
