Air layering

Revegged this Bangin ticket and wanted to downsize her.

I'll keep you guys updated to see how long it takes and if there is any difference in the recovery after transplant.

Did that on a rubber tree. It worked pretty good.

This method is awesome! The plant didn't skip a beat. In fact, I was able to take some cuts for another propagation lesson.

Had an extra SD to defile. I love this hobby.



That poor plant started as a clone to sex, pollinated for seed, revegged/monster-cropped into this mangled newly grafted Frankenplant. Fingers crossed it works.

I'll post recovery updates.

I see "roots" in there! I don't know why more people don't do this.
Those "vine" sativas are easy to do this with.
I'm sure them "landrace" breeders has them.

Took me a while- so you are just rooting clones on the plant?

Yes, and it took about the same time as the rest of the cuts I have taken (around 10 days). The only difference I see is the vigor doesn't slow. The transplant will be the final test.

Rock wool around the stem or a couple "Root Riot" plugs butted end to end coated in Microbes.
Did you scrape the stem before you started? Powder hormones?

Used a root riot plug cut almost halfway like a hotdog. I didn't have to scrape because it was a cluster of branches that I snipped all off. Spread some clonex on the fresh cuts and around the contact area of the root riot. Wrapped with a cut up sandwich bag and secured with training wire.

I did a similar procedure with the grafts but instead of using a rooting plug I used newspaper since it will be removed if it works.

How is the graphs coming along? The graphs are a good way to keep your genetics.
I think I'm gonna try some rock wool and microbes.
Prolly should cover with pc of black felt, then wrap it.

I just performed the procedure today and the cuts are all floppy. Hopefully in a few days they perk up.

I think the rock wool would work just as well if not better. I would suggest the felt outside of the plastic bag to block light. Salt to taste amigo this is my first rodeo.

Wrap in black plastic? Gotcha "amigo". I was gonna peel the felt back off after the roots air pruned some.

Aaah I see now, good idea! Like a mini fabric pot, get an even better start for transplant.

Man I love this forum.

Next time I do it I'm trying that out.
