In this episode ofThe Cannabot Chronicles, we’re breaking down the science behindclonal propagation inindustrial pharmaceutical cannabis cultivation. 🌱🔬
Discover howphenotypic plasticity—the ability of a plant to adapt its traits based on environmental conditions—affectsmother plant branching, cutting survival, and rooting success. We’ll explore howdifferent lighting conditions (T5, metal halide, plasma, and far-red LED augmentation) impact clone production, as well as the role ofcutting tools (scalpels vs. secateurs) andstem wounding techniques inboosting root formation.
Key findings?Ghost Train Haze rooted the fastest, stemwounding increased rooting success by 162%, and strategic lighting choicesaltered plant morphology for better clone yield. If you’re looking to maximize cloning efficiency andstreamline your propagation game, this episode is packed withpractical insights for commercial and home growers alike.
Tune in and take your cannabis cloning skills to the next level! 🌱🔥
