sknkwrks Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I have a couple ladies that I am going to move into the bloom room tonight or tomorrow. 1 of them grew taller then the others. taller than what I would like. I thought about topping it but there would be a lot that would go to waste. I had also thought about topping it and use that for a clone. I have read in the past that it is hard to try and get a top to clone. Is this true. Should i try and clone the top or leave it be and just gently tie it down to the side?

Bison Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Yes you can clone tops, they can take a couple extra days to root. I prefer to keep top clones as mother plants. Pinching is another great way of controlling height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GanjaWarrior Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 if its that close to flower time i would not top it.... tying would be best. topping gives her alot of stress it also takes time to recover...if ur putting in flower now i wouldnt top. just my 2bits n wooden screw.

Gettingbettertlo Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I would bend or tied. But if u need the clones take the clones. Don't know how your growing but you can just wait like a week for them to heal before you flip them. Putting you a week behind but it will be worth the wait. Happy growing and good luck on whatever you decide to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camnibus Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Perfect time to supercrop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hofner67 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 You'd think tieing would cause the least stress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Tying down does cause the least stress. Some plant stems just aren't built to be bent or supercropped, I had an og 18 that wanted to grow up a stick and hated to be branched unless she was topped. She would have been an amazing sog plant.

lon taylor Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 when do clones become a plant after rooting or at 12' tall??? toward my 12 plant per legal limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdman Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) You haven't started the 12/12 cycle yet. The top should root just fine. If you don't need the cutting, I would bend the top over and tie it down to produce more bud sites..

Birdman Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 when do clones become a plant after rooting or at 12' tall??? toward my 12 plant per legal limit Depends on how much of a jackazz LEO wants to be. Roots or not it's a live cutting intended to grow into a plant. Doesn't matter if it's a couple inches or a foot tall. It's not worth having a couple un-rooted clones to put you over the limit and get your name in the court system. Better safe than sorry.

Celliach Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 We had friends in Iron Mountain get raided by local Leo and they had just cut six clones giving them a total of 15 plants. The officers made them pull three out of the dirt. Then they left and were never heard from again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
