Cloning experiences and tips sharing thread

Would I be able to start clones outdoors in some shade or even under a tarps shade? Anyone done this and succeeded?

If you are cloning a plant that is already hardened up, and you have a somewhat controlled greenhouse to keep them in.
In the open might be pretty difficult with the day and night swings but I’ve personally never tried and am up for the challenge.

I'm generally an outdoor grower. Most of my plants are started indoor or in a greenhouse. Clones cannot be started outdoor because you must look after a few variables (humidity temp light) but once the plants has rooted well and you see a few branches growing bigger then you can easily put them in the ground or pots outside...just as long as the weather supports the plant growth phase: eg don't expect the plant to flower If you put her out in late spring

When I've tried rooting clones outside, they took almost 3 months to root. So, yeah start them inside and then harden them off. Inside, I get roots within 2-5 days. Then 3 or 4 days outside under shade, then they're ready. Way better than the 3 months it took outside in a failed attempt to eliminate the hardening off period.

I had a 90% success rate with a heat mat and a humidity dome, had roots in about 10 days.

Although, I'll be attempting to clone some FPOG F4 from Jaws. It's gonna get tricky because it's a single stock plant with minimal branching. I'll end up cloning the stock, first time trying that. I'll keep you posted.

maybe try some aggressive topping (not fimming) for a few weeks. she should branch nicely. then wait another week or 2 for the new branches to grow out, then choose each new cutting in the same manner that you choose which branch to top-off.

but she will need great environment control if you are going aggressive.
