Monster Cropping, Clone Success Rate?

[Herby Paisley]

Hi... Folks This is going to be my first try at monster cropping was wondering if anyone has attempted monster cropping and how was your clone success rate from taking clones during flowering and re-veg after harvesting.. Any major does and don'ts I should be looking out for?

When I tried it, I took the clone cuttings early in flower. Right after pistils showed.

Success rate was just like normal. The regrowth is really weird and takes a long time to normal out.

But it will branch like crazy.

Thanks for letting me know about the success rate for the clones during early flower, ... Have you ever taken clones at harvest by re vegging the blooming plant?

 

[Glookies1]

No, I’ve never tried that.

 

[Herby Paisley]

No, I’ve never tried that.

Hmm... Guess I'll try it and see what happens, The worst is the plant doesn't re veg and dies, I would just be missing out on some time and nutes ,seening as in I would have harvested bud from her once already. lol...All in the pursuit of saving good genetics!

Well I have decided and I'm going to do it... I'm going to attempt a reveg of my harvested plant. Just wondering what kind of timeline I'm looking at till shes back up and vegging normal?

Depends, are you talking reveg the whole plant or cut branches off a harvested plant to clone them?

If you are talking reveg the whole plant? It’s not up to you, it’s up to the plant. She will decide if you left enough fan leaves and growth to keep drawing sap and stay alive. Slow process 4 to 6 weeks depending.

Cut branches off harvested plant trying to clone them. Never tried that personally.

I'm Re vegging to take clones, thanks for the time line on how long.

I edited above to say 4 to 6 weeks, but I’ve never done reveg for clones.

I revegged a plant once. I didn't leave any leaves at all. I cut the whole plant down to about 10" tall, bare branches. Took about 2 - 3 weeks & then nubs started appearing everywhere. I ended up transplanting to a 10 gallon pot from a 5. That plant got huge. About 4' in diameter & about 4.5' tall.

Remember to feed like it's an older plant & not like you are just starting to grow from seeds or clones. It's an adult plant.

That’s good to know Buds! I had a few photoperiod main trunks left standing in soil that never would restart, I kept up with same nutrsxbut guess it was too far gone

Re-Veg plant

 

[Buds Buddy]

Can't find a pic to show how far I cut it down.

 

[013]

No worries!

Those re veggings look really good, I liike how your tent set up with the totes under the plants good idea for coco or soil growing!

 

[Buds Buddy]

Only thing I could find big enough for 10 gallon pots were totes. I usually put wire closet shelving on top of the tote & set the plant on the shelving. That way the water runs through to the tote & your plant isn't sitting in the water getting root rot. I only have to empty the run off from the totes once a week this way too. I usually use the run off on outdoor yard plants.
Here's a pic of what I mean. These are 5 gallon pots with oil drain pans & wire shelving. Perfect fit.

love the recycling of the nute run off for the outdoor plants when growing in soil. Instead of just dumping it.

My backyard has no grass right now. Just some plants I put in. I just kind of dump buckets all over the yard to enrich the soil some so when I do plant grass I get a slight bump. I recently bought this place so changing all kinds of stuff to privatize it more.
