1. What are cannabis cuttings?
Cannabis cuttings (also known as clones) are plant parts—usually branches or stems—taken from a mature cannabis plant. These cuttings are then rooted and grown into new plants that are genetically identical to the mother plant. This ensures consistent quality, potency, and yields.
2. Why choose cannabis cuttings instead of seeds?
Cuttings offer several advantages over growing from seeds:
- Faster growth: Cuttings skip the germination phase and begin as young plants, leading to quicker development and earlier harvests.
- Genetic consistency: As clones, they are genetically identical to the mother plant, ensuring uniform quality and yield.
- Higher success rate: Cuttings tend to root more reliably and grow into healthy plants more consistently than seeds.

5. How do I properly care for cannabis cuttings?
To help your cannabis cuttings thrive, follow these care tips:
- Rooting: Use a high-quality rooting hormone to encourage strong root development.
- Temperature & humidity: Maintain a warm, humid environment (22–25 °C / 72–77 °F with high humidity) until roots are established.
- Lighting: Provide only gentle, indirect light after root development begins. Avoid direct sunlight in the early stages.
- Watering: Keep the medium moist but not soggy—overwatering can lead to root rot.
6. How long do cannabis cuttings take to root?
Typically, cannabis cuttings need 7 to 14 days to develop roots, depending on the strain and environmental conditions. Patience is key while they adjust and form stable roots.
7. Can I grow cannabis cuttings both indoors and outdoors?
Yes, cannabis cuttings can be grown both indoors and outdoors. Consider the following:
- Indoor cultivation: Ideal for indica and hybrid strains, which thrive in controlled environments.
- Outdoor cultivation: Especially suitable for sativa strains that benefit from abundant sunlight and space.
8. How do I store cannabis cuttings before planting?
If you can’t plant your cuttings immediately, store them as follows:
- Temperature: Keep them in a cool, dark place (around 18 °C / 64 °F).
- Humidity: Maintain moisture using a plastic bag or humidity dome.
- Light: Avoid exposure to direct light until the cuttings begin to root.
9. Can autoflowering cannabis be propagated via cuttings?
Yes, autoflowering cannabis can be propagated from cuttings, but with some limitations:
Because they have a fixed lifecycle and automatically enter the flowering stage, cloning may result in slightly lower yields. Nonetheless, they are a good choice for beginners and quick harvests.
10. How can I tell if my cannabis cutting is healthy?
A healthy cannabis cutting should show:
- Green, vibrant leaves without yellowing or wilting.
- No pests or diseases – check for mold, insects, or fungus.
- Firm, sturdy stem – not soft or mushy.
- Healthy white roots if already rooted, with no signs of rot.
11. Can I grow cannabis cuttings without rooting hormones?
It’s possible, but not ideal. Rooting hormones significantly increase success rates and root strength. Without them, root development may take longer, and the risk of rot or failure increases.
12. Are cannabis cuttings legal?
Cannabis cuttings are legal in many regions—provided cannabis cultivation is also legal. In Germany and other countries with regulated cannabis laws, purchasing cuttings may be allowed under certain conditions. Always check your local laws before buying or growing cannabis cuttings.
