"
can cannabis re-root like a blackberry bush if you bury a branch in some soil?

ChatGPT said:​

Excellent question — and yes, it absolutely can, under the right conditions. Cannabis is a highly rootable plant, much like blackberry or tomato. The trick is understanding how it does it.
Here’s the real breakdown, no hippie-magic involved:

🌿 Yes — Cannabis can form new roots from buried branches.​

It’s called layering propagation — same as what you’re describing with blackberries.
When a cannabis stem is kept moist, dark, and in contact with soil, it can trigger the formation of adventitious roots from the buried nodes (the little bump areas where leaves or side shoots emerge).
BUT — cannabis doesn’t root quite as easily as blackberry, so you need to help it a little.

✅ How to Do It Properly (Chairman-style field method):​

  1. Pick a low, flexible branch — one that can bend down to the soil without snapping.
  2. Gently scrape a 1-inch section of the stem where it’ll touch the dirt — just remove the outer “skin” (epidermis).
  3. Dust it with rooting hormone (powder or gel). Not essential, but it boosts success by 3–5x.
  4. Bury that scraped part a couple inches deep in soft, damp soil or a small buried pot next to the mother plant.
  5. Anchor it with a rock, wire, or U-shaped stick so it stays in contact.
  6. Water lightly every few days — keep the soil moist, not soggy.
  7. Wait 2–3 weeks.
    • You’ll often see the tip of that branch start perking up with new vigor — that’s your clue roots are forming.
  8. Once it’s clearly rooted, snip it off from the mother and transplant it.

⚠️ Caveats​

  • Don’t try this during flowering — the hormones (auxins vs. cytokinins) are wrong for rooting. Works best during veg.
  • Keep it shaded — direct light on the buried area will kill the rooting site.
  • You won’t get blackberry-level ease; it’s more like 60–80% success rate if done right.

🧠 Pro trick:​

If you ever have a tall stretchy plant, you can literally lay it sideways and bury sections of the stem to create a “snake” of new rooted clones — each node becomes its own plant. Old-school outdoor growers used to call that “ground snaking” or “guerrilla layering.”
So yeah — cannabis can re-root from buried stems, but it’s not as automatic as blackberry. Give it the right conditions, and it’ll take like a champ."



WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT TRUE!?!

idk why this would surprise you. People take a cutting stick it in the dirt and it roots all the time. Same theory lol

This didn't come from him but starting to flower. I tried to grow 4 in soil🤣 I know better😉 I wanted these for the corners of the garden to deture wildlife and bugs. Oh look, my favorite bug 🐛 Nuke 'em!🤣

I’ve grown them around my veggie garden forever. Idk if it works my dad always did it so now I do it haha

I have big giant grow-know gaps. I've never cloned anything. I thought you need a humidity dome and a propigating mix THEN plant in real soil.
It creates some myopic vision when you rush through 3 decades of people growing and writing. I definitely miss stuff.
I mean, the cherry auto struggle was my first "certified good" grow in my eyes, and now Carly is going to be my "thesis" of understanding. Aside from all that it's a bunch of failures and being an assistant decades ago.

Yes. I have a jar full of PBBx CMAN that was a cut taken during mid flower and literally stuck in the dirt. It took forever to root and reveg, and eventually it exploded with new growth everywhere. I flowered it on a suspended platform under its own light above a few other Pineapple Express plants that were scrogged in my 3x3 .

Nah you can literally clip any vegging plant plop it in some dirt and it will clone. Powders help it happen faster but I don’t like them personally because they made my cuts get mushy one time lol and humidity domes also don’t need those lol

Even a flowering plant but it will have to reveg which makes your chances go down and takes a while to reveg.

Ps you gotta do more research than two plants for your thesis 😂😂

Or use ai

God it has to be so easy to cheat in school these days. Don’t even need a girlfriend lmao

If I was breeding yes. Proper plants are like the entire height of my ambition.
AI is super easy to spot though, kids are trying to skate on it but it doesn't work because like everyone that has a less than happy time with AI, they try to use it for too much. In fact if you've ever seen Brad Meltzer's show about historic mysteries on History channel and noticed how basic and stupid it sounded? That's AI. The over-excited dumb kid who's all know and no go.
Now if I ever get into cloning and breeding I will need an entirely new "good enough".
Which brings me to the hot sauce I posted, the dark steak one with the coffee in it... so after one week and it gets the proper vinegar smell and taste, I blend it all, strain it to hot sauce thickness, reset the airlock, and put it up for another week. So far it tastes like hamburger heaven in a bottle. Then I took the leftover paste and I'm drying it to powder and grinding it for a dry spice. Right now the laser shop smells like a bbq burger joint and there's no meat drying haha.

It’s just good practice to take clones of anything. What if that plant you were growing right now sprouted into an award-winning plant you would wish you had that
clone LMAO.

From all I've read it's doubtful if it works although there are some bugs that might be repulsed by the plant. Overall I figured if it even helps a litte it might be worth it. I frame the garden with vinegar soaked rags which does help keep squirrels out. I haven't lost a plant to a squirrel in the past 2 years.

I've cloned hundreds of plants and here's the best and easiest way to clone. Get a plastic box or bucket with a lid. Fill halfway with water, plain ol tap unless it's way out of range in pH or hardness. Cut holes in the top to fit a basket. Place an aquarium heater in the box or bucket and add an air driven aquarium pump airstone.

Once set up, running and most important warm take your cuts or clones and place in soil/peat/coco/rockwool in a net basket place that basket into your homemade cloner and give them 1 to 2 weeks and 90+ % will root.

It really is this simple. Most of up dont bother in the summer as most cuts will root but when it get below 70ish it's much more difficult. This cloner will work winter or summer as long as you don't cook the cuts😉

Hi. I haven't met you. Don't worry, I'll attempt to make sense to you.

I'm thinking of taking all my trim IN 10 DAYS and making a sauce. I need to think about the general cannabis specific and hemp family flavors and grok that before I add in colombian red trim which by all accounts is Earth, Lemon, and Lime.
Sauces tend to build much more like an essential oil or incense than a directly made recipe, and that's something I want to jam on for a while. This almost say like bright yellow tropical sunfire with a fruit sweet. A strong lemon/columbian red yellow sauce that singes with citrus then hits with scotch bonnet?
But is is strange enough.
