Trimming the leaf tips is a myth that you shouldn't immitate. There is a scientific study that proved that cutting the leaf tips reduces the success rate of clones from cuttings. Don't just immitate. Seek to understand. There is a reason my clones have intact leaves and why I use a humidity dome.About 2 weeks before they visibly grow again.
Good airy substrate with little to no nutes, good rh, good temp and lots of patience (: Besides the standard trimming of leaf tips i like to skin very small strips of the outer stem for roots to grow from. Then leave them in a cup of water that's in a plastic bag somewhere in the shade. After a few days I put them in substrate.
Never really had issues with clones rooting. It's mostly after transplanting.
Actually yes. It begins with learning whats already known. Plant biology, physiology, the chemistry involved, evidence based information. We can use the above example to identify people mindlessly imitating others (clipping leaf tips) and rule them out as a source of good information. Being able to distinguish good information from myths and bruh-science will help you be more successful.Any tricks for improving success rates?
That can work, you can speed that up by putting an air stone in the water and run an air pump like for fish aquariums. Can be intermittent, doesnt have to run 24/7My first clone was in a water bottle sitting in a tub. It rooted.

Sometimes I ask questions just to see what the answers are like. Like polling the community. It doesn't necessarily mean I don't know the answer. Those clones were smoked. I did share the process on page 1 of this thread. You can read it.. its still there. I am giving tips. The most important being: Understand, don't just mindlessly immitate. Give priority to knowledge over following.Just give a tip if you got em and slow down the superiority complex. As I recall you had to ask for help on some very basic things as well not that long ago.
I'm not here to fight. My process and results are all posted on here if you feel like looking through it. Your clones looks good, hope they turn out great and you share the process and results as well.

Cutting leaf tips makes a significant drop in rooting success rate in the cannabis cuttings. I know why, but I'm going to wait and see if anyone knows something about plant biology first.

transplanted. 100% success rate.
Im working with a variety right now that just doesn't clone well. Success rate sometimes depends on genetics. Plant health can also be a factor. If you want a certain number of clones, double it, and dispose of whats not needed.
I've heard the bruh science reasoning on this already, which doesn't take into account relative humidity under the lid. Im willing to read a credible opposing study or scholarly article in favor of cutting the leaf tips. Just drop a link. Im ready. Lets have it. Staying up to date on facts is wise.Good point, if you're going to be cutting the tips off your clone leaves you ought to at least know why other than because thats what someone said to do. I'm not going to spoil what you're digging for, but I will tell you I cut my clone tips and I do it because it's the lesser of two evils. (That's a clue) I certainly understand and respect a Canadian's point of view on this. (Another clue).
That's kinda boring... I mean Google is available to you and even that isn't all that conclusive. Bro science works because it's backed up by working results with positive end results. Just because it doesn't have a white paper behind it shouldn't be cast aside as bad advice, get over yourself man.I've heard the bruh science reasoning on this already, which doesn't take into account relative humidity under the lid.

So in short, you got nothing. Got it. That sucks.That's kinda boring... I mean Google is available to you and even that isn't all that conclusive.
