Selecting a female cannabis plant is the first step to finding a great mother that you can clone from. To keep a plant for “mothering“, you will want to keep the plant under 18 – 24 hours of light to keep her in a vegetative state.

Most growers will use a #0excludeGlossary T5 light to keep the mother in a vegetative state. Keeping the mother under a T5 light will ensure slow vegetative growth, so she does not grow too rapidly or large.

Cutting clones from the mother’s branch tips and rooting them is called “cloning“. Having a mother plant to clone from helps you to able to consistently cultivate strong, healthy clones from the strain you like. Cloning ensures that every cloned plant is female and identical to the mother.

Cloning Cannabis to Create New Plants

Cloning is the process by which a branch tip is cut and rooted to form a plant identical to the plant that it was cut from. Clones usually take 10 – 20 days to produce a strong, healthy root system and are given 18 – 24 hours of light during their life, for them to stay in a vegetative state.

Producing clones under ideal environmental conditions will help to ensure their growth and vitality. Clones that have developed a healthy root system can then be hardened and transplanted into a vegetative growing system.
