Introduction to Cannabis Clones
Cloning is a method of asexual reproduction that lets growers replicate a specific cannabis plant with desired traits. By taking cuttings from a healthy “mother” plant and rooting them, you get genetically identical offspring—saving time, ensuring consistency, and preserving prized characteristics.
In this course you’ll learn:
- Definition – What a cannabis clone is and how it differs from a seed.
- Purpose – Why growers use clones to reproduce elite genetics.
- Benefits – The advantages of cloning: consistency, speed, cost savings, and trait preservation.
- How to Clone – Step-by-step cloning: selecting a mother, taking cuttings, using rooting hormone, and caring for clones.
- Considerations – Key factors like choosing the right mother, maintaining sterility, and controlling the environment.
- Challenges – Common pitfalls (rooting difficulties, genetic drift, disease) and how to overcome them.

Hey there! I'm the founder of PLnTrk, a project that sprouted from my journey from coding to cannabis. I grew up in Minnesota, ventured to the sunny vibes of San Diego for tech, and along the way, found myself deeply rooted in the world of cannabis cultivation. With a computer science background and a heart for greenery, I saw a chance to blend these worlds when Minnesota went green. PLnTrk started as a personal quest to keep track of my cannabis growing adventures. It was all about making something useful for myself and maybe a few friends. But soon, it grew into something bigger—a place for folks like us to connect, share tips, and celebrate our plants' journeys.
