How to Clone a Weed Plant in Water

Cloning a weed plant is a popular method among cannabis growers to reproduce a high-yielding strain. You can easily clone a weed plant in water, which involves taking a cutting from the mother plant and nurturing it until it develops roots. Here’s a guide on how to clone a weed plant in water.

Gather Your Cloning Supplies

Before you start the cloning process, gather your supplies to ensure everything is in place:

A healthy mother plant

Cutting tool (preferably scissors or a razor blade)

Clean water source

Rooting hormone (optional)

Container (like a glass or plastic cup) for holding the cutting

How to Take a Cutting from the Mother Plant

Take a cutting from the mother plant when it is in its Vegetative stage. Cut off a branch about 4-6 inches in length and remove any excess leaves or branches that are growing on the lower half of the cutting. The cutting should have a few sets of leaves left on the upper half.

Prepare the Cutting for Water

Dip the cut end of the cutting into the rooting hormone (if you have it) and then place the cutting into a container of clean water. Place the container in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Change the water every 2-3 days, making sure the cutting receives oxygen to stimulate root growth.

Monitor Your Cutting’s Progress

After several days, you should begin to see small roots growing from the cutting. Once the roots have grown to about an inch in length you can transplant the cutting into soil or continue growing it in water. If you opt to grow it in water, you will need to change the water every few days to ensure it stays clean and contains enough oxygen.

Final Thoughts

Cloning a weed plant in water is an excellent way to produce high-quality cannabis without the expense of buying new seeds. Once you have mastered the process, you can create as many clones as you need from your favorite strain.
