Fact Checked by Doctor NameClones are genetic replicas of a cannabis plant that can be created through the cloning process.
Cloning involves taking a cutting from a “mother” cannabis plant and rooting it to create an identical clone with the same DNA and characteristics as the mother.
Cloning is an important technique used by cannabis growers to propagate desirable strains.
What are Marijuana Clones?
Marijuana clones are cannabis plant cuttings taken from a mother plant that contain no seeds or male genes.
Clones are genetically female plants and are nearly identical copies of the mother. They will grow, flower, and produce buds just like the parent plant.
Clones allow growers to preserve special strains with advantageous properties like high yields, disease resistance, or unique terpene profiles.
Rather than starting plants from seed, which leads to genetic variation, clones provide consistency.
They also save time since clones move directly into vegetative growth rather than germinating.
High-quality clones are selected from healthy mothers, contain no pests/disease, and are snipped just below node sites where roots will sprout.
Rooting hormones or gels may be used to aid root growth when starting clones.
