In the cannabis industry, the terms “slip” and “clone” are often used interchangeably, but they can refer to slightly different concepts based on context and regional preferences.
Cannabis Slip
A cannabis slip generally refers to a small, freshly cut portion of a cannabis plant that has just been taken from the mother plant. This cutting may or may not yet have roots and is essentially a “starter” version of the clone, often in its earliest stages. Some growers use the term “slip” to emphasise that the cutting is young and requires further nurturing to establish roots and become a fully viable plant.
Cannabis Clone
A clone, on the other hand, usually refers to a cutting that has already rooted and begun to grow on its own, developing into a small plant that can be transplanted and cultivated. Clones are ready for growers to place in their grow setup with minimal additional nurturing, as they already have a developed root system.
Key Differences Between Cannabis Slip and Cannabis Clone
| Aspect | Cannabis Slip | Cannabis Clone |
| Root Development | Typically unrooted or in early rooting phase | Fully rooted and self-sustaining |
| Stage | Very early, requires nurturing to grow roots | Ready for transplantation and full growth |
| Ease of Use | Requires more care to establish | Easier to place directly into grow setup |
Which to Choose?
- Cannabis Slips are ideal for experienced growers who are set up to nurture cuttings through their initial rooting phase.
- Clones are preferred for growers seeking a more straightforward process, as these cuttings already have roots and can be transplanted and cultivated with less initial care.
