The Clone Guys

Even before there were modern medical marijuana doctors, ancient texts throughout history have revealed the use of the marijuana plant as herbal medicine. They were in use in such countries as China and India, and other places around Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. In the past, the medicine was used for a long list of ills. The variety of illnesses that this herb was said to cure is exceptional, from appetite stimulant, to rheumatism, to earache. Then the Western world discovered the beneficial properties of this plant. Together with this discovery, some harmful properties have been found as well.

At present, there are set policies that must be followed in order to use the beneficial properties of marijuana. A patient must go through legal processes, one involving medical marijuana doctors, licenses, cards, and clinics. These specialized doctors have the important task of examining patients, deciding if they need this kind of medication, and then giving the necessary recommendations for its use. Under the law, these doctors cannot dispense the drug themselves. There are clinics that are set up for this purpose alone. The process that a person goes through in order to use the drug involves:

1. Getting diagnoses from his own doctors regarding his illness. Doctors allow the use of this alternative drug in debilitating diseases such as lung cancer, breast cancer, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer’s, neurological disorders, and other pain causing illnesses.

2. If so needed, the doctor then recommends that the afflicted seek consultation with medical marijuana doctors.

3. The patient must submit the necessary documents such as his physician’s recommendation, medical records, other records on diagnosis and treatment.

4. The patient might go through another series of tests from the new doctor. This would be part of the consultation process, before a final recommendation to one of the clinics.

5. If it is found out that the patient does indeed need cannabis for medical purposes to treat his illness or ease his pain, then he gets important advice on dosage, most effective ways of taking the medicine, and which clinic to go to.

In the United States, there are conflicting state and federal laws regarding the use of this herb. Concerned physicians who prescribe medical cannabis, clinic staff, other patients, and legal persons are a good source of advice regarding the issues and their impact on you. As with any kind of medicine, a careful study of the pros and cons of this ancient herbal remedy is also in order, for the purpose of personal safety.

The Clone Guys offers clones of many of the Kush marijuana strains on our medical marijuana menu, pending availability.  These are the same select clones our growers choose for their own use.  All of our healthy Kush clones come rooted in rockwool and have a well-established root system.

They are started in an aeroponic cloningator. The roots begin to get established in a few days. The next step would be delivery to you.

Cloning Marijuana plants is the best way to guarantee female marijuana plants. the best way to start is to get your clone from a marijuana plant you know is of high quality. so buy some good  marijuana seeds then clone the female plant. Once you have a healthy  marijuana plant you know is of high quality. you can start cloning marijuana.

What are the advantages of Marijuana Cloning

Marijuana Cloning is the process of making an exact copy of a living thing, in this case a marijuana plant. Cloning has many advantages to offer the advanced grower: first, the process of germination can be skipped over, saving valuable time. Second, the exact genetics of your best female can be preserved forever. Third, growers will save money by not having to purchase seeds every year. Though you should really only clone the same plant( genes) 3-4 times after this the chance of your clone becoming hermaphrodite greatly increases, also the plant quality slowly decreases. the first 3-4 clones of the same gene should be fine. For marijuana (cannabis) growers cloning is a must to ensure that only females will be grown and no space is wasted on males. also means that a whole crop of females will not be made to seed by one or two males in the same room.

What do We need to start Marijuana Cloning?

To begin cloning we will grow a mother plant. A mother plant is the plant all of the cuttings will be taken from. It should exhibit qualities such as fast growth, high potency and mold and pest resistance. this is why its so important to get good seeds to start with. The mother should be kept in vegetative growth( 16 = hours light) all the time under a Metal halide light. Other things that will be needed are small plate), a shallow tray that will hold about three inches of water. An aquarium air pump, rooting hormone and high P fertilizer. Light will be provided by fluorescent lights hung seven inches above the plant tops.

Set-up

First we set the tray in a separate area from all the other plants. A separate closet or basement is good. Fill the tray with water (boiled for 20 minutes) mixed with liquid rooting hormone. Install the aquarium air pump to oxygenate the water. The size of the pump depends on the size of the tray. Make an anti-siphon loop in the hose to the pump to prevent water from getting into it if the power should go out. Next hang the fluorescents about 12 inches from the top of the tray. This will leave about 7 inches from the tops of the cuttings to the lights.

Taking the cuttings

Once the cloning area is set up the clones can be taken from the mother  cannabis plant. Taking clones is almost the same as pruning so when you prune instead of throwing away the cuttings they can be made into clones. The first cut should be made with sharp scissors or a razor blade sterilized with rubbing alcohol. The cutting should be about 6 to 8 inches tall. Next trim off the bottom leaves with a sharp razor blade. There should be three or four sets of leaves remaining on the cutting. Bring the cutting to the rooting tray and get out the Styrofoam plates. Poke a hole in the middle just big enough for the stem to fit through. The cutting can be secured in place with some sticky tack (looks like gum). Now submerge the bottom of the cutting and make another cut diagonally. This will expose more stem surface to the water and make it easier for the cutting to absorb nutrients. This cut must be made under water to prevent a bubble forming in the stem, blocking nutrient intake.

Rooting the cuttings

Now that the cuttings are floating in the rooting tray the water needs to be changed every other day. Just siphon it out and replace it quickly with new hormone treated water. Be careful never to drain all the water out. If the stem bottoms are exposed a bubble will developed inside the stem and the clone will die. After about 10 days in the rooting tray the stem bottom will start to come out slightly. This is the first sign that the roots will appear shortly. Foliar spray with a chemical fertilizer that is high in P at 1/4 strength every three days. Remember to spray the plants the day after foliar feeding with water to clean the leaves of any un-absorbed nutrients. Soon the tiny immature roots will be visible and when they reach about one inch in length they can be planted in the soil and will grow as an exact copy of the mother plant.

Using a Cloningator to clone marijuana

A Cloningator makes the process of marijuana cloning much more successful. When the marijuana cloning process is done you will see roots popping out of their stems. They are then usually transferred to a larger aeroponic system.
