wisconsin hemp flower cuttings what they are and how they are made

Creating new plants with your favorite genetics or the most characteristic phenotypes is extremely simple and fun, takes up little space and can become an art . In this article we will see how to create and maintain mother plants to get good cuttings of wisconsin hemp flower Legal or hemp Plant .

Making a mother plant is something really simple , it will help us to maintain that genetics of that type of plant that we like so much , or some specific phenotype that we don't want to lose.

The production of cuttings will vary according to the care we dedicate to each plant .

It can be relatively easy to get dozens of cuttings if we perform selective pruning during their growth, trying to branch the plant as much as possible and thus increase the number of branches available .

The most important point when producing a mother plant is to control the light period.

 

Mother plants from which to take the cuttings

 

When the mother plant has completely colonized the container , it is convenient to prune the roots to prevent flowering. In medium containers it usually occurs every 3-4 months and it will be sufficient to mow the bottom of the root ball and the side roots of the root ball a little, being careful not to cut the base of the plant . By taking advantage of pruning we can replace a large part of the substrate with a new one rich in nitrogen, thus providing good nutrients and eliminating the old substrate saturated with salts.

Root pruning is mandatory if we are to keep our mother plants well, as when the plants colonize the entire container and run out of space to develop new roots , they tend to bloom regardless of the light cycle they have.

Another point to keep in mind to keep mother plants in optimal conditions is to pay attention to the parameters of temperature and humidity.

The optimal conditions for indoors are an average temperature of 24/26 degrees and a constant relative humidity between 60/70 percent .

With the points mentioned so far and occasionally applying some natural precautions to avoid insect or fungal pests , we will have healthy and efficient mother plants.

 

Cuttings, portions of branches for perennials

Once we have seen how to create our mother plants, nothing better than to see how to take advantage of them, getting from them the cuttings that will enter our next crop .

With this we try to grow an already known variety without the need to start from wisconsin hemp flower seeds , thus saving a few euros and time, since the growth period is significantly reduced compared to cultivation from seed. We also guarantee extremely homogeneous phenotypes, as the woody cuttings are 99.9% identical in behavior and production to the mother plants.

To obtain healthy and hydrated types of cuttings, we must water the plant that we are going to cut at least four or five hours in advance , it being convenient to have watered it abundantly the day before.

In this way, the branches we will use will be well hydrated and will better resist the shock of starting to develop new roots.
