When i clone I like 3 rows top and bottom to be a 2 plants. with seedlings you should know the 1st 2 or 3 rows shouldn't count because they will be removed at early stage and only will be 3 leaves youngsters. Experiment, but Ive started making clones that have been topped twice for 4 branches. Hard to explain but because of my states rules I dont do pics. My clones last time were about 9 inches tall w 4 branches. you can clone any part of the plant. Takes 2 usually 3 weeks for roots of clones so managing moma to stay small and flower with clones yo made is tricky. sure u can.
