Is it possible to clone mj from fresh, green buds like the image in the link?

Answer 1

No dude, you can't more pot from your pot- it's dead now- no living cells.

Answer 2

Possible, yes.

Answer 3

Cloning of plants is usually done with what's called the apical meristem tissue - that is the active growing, reproducing part of a plant, rather than just the multiplication of any plant cell tissue, which if possible, would just form more tissue just like it, rather than be able to grow into a full plant.    In essence,  an apical meristem is the growing part, that is totally albe to form any other form of plant tissue, be it roots, seeds, leaves, flowers etc.   Specialized parts of plants, like flowers, most  plants leaves etc don't have this ability,  they were formed from meristem tissue that created that type of plant tissue, rather than an alternative type.

Thus flowers will not typically contain an apical meristem,  and thus won't be alot of use for you, for propogation.   Mini botany class over.

Hope this helps.  Good luck!  Rob

Answer 5

It's been a long time, I'll admit it, but I believe you can still go the "old fashioned" route and grow it from seeds, like in the old days. No need to clone . . .
